Though the reality is that Obama is well aware we’re going to vote for him regardless of how much he dicks us around because the alternative is so much worse.

It’s difficult to write much of anything . . . → Read More: The Republicans in Michigan have decided that democracy is no longer necessary.]]> I love my state, but it’s legislative branch has taken a nose dive ever since the last election. With a Republican Governor and majorities in both state houses, they’ve been railroading their agenda like never before. Rachel Maddow had a pretty good segment about this just recently:

It’s difficult to write much of anything about this without devolving into rants, but I wanted to at least get Rachel’s segment out there to help raise awareness. It was a mistake on my part to vote for Rick Snyder in the last election, but I thought that we’d keep the state congress balanced. We didn’t and now we’re paying the price for it. This could all be headed to a major court case which could see a lot of laws thrown out for being passed illegally.

I can remember learning about the potential impact of global climate change back when I was a kid. This video talks about what we knew some 30 years ago in 1982 and how a lot of what was predicted has come to pass.

I can remember learning about the potential impact of global climate change back when I was a kid. This video talks about what we knew some 30 years ago in 1982 and how a lot of what was predicted has come to pass. A lot of folks seem to think that warnings about global climate change are something relatively recent, but we’ve known about the potential of this problem for a very long time. Unfortunately, by the time the evidence is clear enough for the deniers to accept it’ll be too late to do much about it other than try and cope with it as best we can. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better and a lot of people are going to suffer unnecessarily because we haven’t addressed the problem.

I’m sorry, but I had to share the pain. Throughout the video I had to wonder . . . → Read More: Not to contribute to the stereotype of the “dumb blonde”, but…]]> Here’s a nice young woman trying very hard to figure out the answer to a very difficult math question: If you are driving 80 miles per hour how long does it take to travel 80 miles?

I’m sorry, but I had to share the pain. Throughout the video I had to wonder what it is she is very good at that allowed her husband to overlook this rather stunning lack of comprehension on her part. Perhaps she’s merely confused on this one topic and is actually surprisingly insightful when discussing, say, the finer points of football? Admittedly, my knee-jerk reaction was that this had to be a Poe, but the more I watched it the more convinced I became that is wasn’t.

However I am completely convinced that this response video from LoReeves…

…is definitely, 100% absolutely, without a doubt, a Poe. It simply has to be. My brain cannot accept that it isn’t without imploding on itself. Please, please, PLEASE, let this one be a Poe.
