The Elderly Should Not Talk About Pop Culture

8 Mar

Alan Simpson

Former Senator Alan Simpson (R-Wyoming) is a co-chair on President Obama’s debt commission. Last fall, that committee issued a series of tough recommendations, some of which involved cutting Social Security and Medicare programs. Well, he’s been defending his recommendations. Today on Fox News he discussed the cuts. While urging the elderly to help make the future for their children and grandchildren, he somehow launched onto this rant…

“If they care at all about their children or grandchildren, and sometimes I doubt that — I think, you know, grandchildren now don’t write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they’re walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they don’t like them”

In a non-related note, John McCain may not be as tech savvy as you might think. During an appearance on “This Week” the Arizona Senator said that iPads and iPods are “built in the United States of America.” As most people know, they are actually built in China. His office later said that the senator recognized the devices were designed in the USA, but made elsewhere.

College Basketball Player Suspended For Having Sex

6 Mar

If this occurred at any other school, it would not be news. It would not make waves. Nothing would happen. But, Brandon Davies plays played for BYU, where students must abide by the strict Mormon code of conduct.

Though the conduct was consensual and the woman involved was Davies’ girlfriend, the school’s code of conduct prohibits “premarital sex.” Davies acknowledged what happened to school officials during a meeting and was extremely remorseful for what occurred. Nevertheless, he was suspended from the team for the rest of the season and his future at BYU remains in doubt.

Davies apologized to his teammates for the incident. His team may still be shock though. Coming into a March 2 game, BYU was ranked number 3 in the nation. That night they lost to an unranked team by 18 points, and their ranking will likely tumble.

“He told us everything. He told us he was sorry and that he let us down. We just held our heads high and told him it was OK, that it is life, and you make mistakes, and you just got to play through it,” teammate Jimmer Fredette said.

2 Really Weird Places to Try to Grow Drugs

5 Mar

I saw two stories in the past few days that made me wonder, why did you think this was the best place to make drugs? Here’s the two spots:

1) Inside a day care center: Katrina Epperson and Christopher Webb were about to open a 24-hour day care center facility for the little ones in their North Carolina community. To supplement that income, they had apparently been making meth inside the same house where they planned to open the day care. State officials visited the house twice before granting the license, but didn’t notice the meth. Police realized something was amiss when they saw how much pseudoephedrine— a common ingredient in meth production— the couple bought.

2) The Basement of Bloomingdale’s: This incident occurred in Washington DC. Police were conducting a routine patrol of the area when they noticed the back door to the basement of the building was opened. Upon confronting the man inside, they determined that they had enough probable cause to investigate the area. They found a large marijuana cultivation operation in the basement, along with distribution supplies.

Teach Me How to Panda

4 Mar

Pandas are probably the best gift ever given to the internet. They supply hours of hilarious and cute internet videos.

One of the most bizarre trends of the last year came from a rap group called the Cali Swagg District. Their “song,” if you can call it that, “Teach Me How to Dougie” became really popular and a dance sensation.

Naturally, the two mated and this is the result.

Meet the World’s Most Typical Person

3 Mar

In case you haven’t heard, National Geographic has been spotlighting our world’s increasing population over the year. In a short while, the world will reach 7 billion people. But if you had to identify an average person on the planet Earth, what would they look like? This video has some answers:

  • He would be a male— they still outnumber women
  • He would be right-handed, with a cell phone, but no bank account (just 25 percent of people have one)
  • He would make less than $12,000 per year.
  • He is 28 years old and Chinese (han Chinese)
  • By 2030, though, that typical man will come from India
