Awesome Vice President of the Day

Posted: 06 May 2012 12:45 PM PDT


Vice President Joe Biden may be a public grump who bares a resemblance to wrestler Bob Holly, but he certain isn’t afraid to speak his mind. As is the case this morning, while Biden was on Meet the Press, he made some pretty strong comments regarding marriage equality:

I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men marrying women are entitled to the same exact rights.

Biden even further articulated a thought that will hopefully put less-than-gay-friendly bros (see: Rick Perry) to shame

Who do you love? Who do you love and will you be loyal to the person you love? And that’s what people are finding out what all marriages at their root are about. Whether they are marriages of lesbians or gay men or heterosexuals.

While President Obama has come out in support of civil unions, Biden is the highest ranking official to endorse marriage equality.

Presidential Rally of the Day

Posted: 06 May 2012 11:45 AM PDT

- Presidential Rally of the Day


In his first two official rallies yesterday, President Obama stopped in Columbus, OH and Richmond, VA to discuss what he hopes to accomplish if he’s reelected for a second term, as well as highlighting his accomplishments in revitalizing the American auto industry and ending the war in Iraq. Unlike Romney’s comments about “borrowing money from your parents,” Obama continued to discuss the realities of a crumbling middle class: “This is a make or break moment for the middle class, and we can’t turn back now.”

Supermoon of the Day

- Supermoon of the Day


Last night, people had a chance to see the moon at its closest orbit to Earth while being full. Coupled with Cinco de Mayo shenanigans and the fact that it was a full moon, the streets were probably littered with tears and booze. For every argument gone terribly wrong, however, there are some cool supermoon shots like this one.

Chris Brown Offends Everyone Tour of the Day

Posted: 06 May 2012 09:15 AM PDT


Chris Brown just can’t catch a break. Despite somehow still having legions of fans and tons of money, he never quite escapes that one thing he’s known for (and with good reason). So it’s no real surprise that people with common sense are still highly critical of him. Now, Brown is catching heat for a dog breeding/puppy selling site that he started as his side job.

PETA, as well as a host of other animal-friendly organizations, are taking shots at Brown for breeding pit bulls and selling them at a premium price, when there are pit bulls that are in need of being adopted. Says SpcaLA president Madeline Bernstein:

There is no reason to breed and produce more pit bull puppies when there are pit puppies waiting for homes in every shelter in America.

For his part, Brown’s reps have said that the puppies are not being bred and that they are the offspring of his family’s dogs, and the site is now empty. Still, the internet needs a record of Brown’s bad decisions, if only to create a large archive of stupidity for everyone to read.

Lights Out

Posted: 05 May 2012 07:30 PM PDT


Teen rap sensation (using “sensation” rather loosely), Krispy Kreme, made this very DIY video for his track, “The Baddest.” With production that rivals Mannie Fresh, the song features quotable lines like “I got more money than Jay-Z, because Jay-Z is lazy.” With rap punchlines like that, Krispy Kreme is surely serving up some hurts doughnuts.

State that Gets Medical Marijuana of the Day

Posted: 05 May 2012 06:00 PM PDT

- State that Gets Medical Marijuana of the Day


Connecticut is now the seventeenth state in the Union to allow medicinal marijuana for its citizens, as the state senate passed a bill today legalizing the drug. There are still questions to answer, particularly when the law will be enacted, but in the meantime, UCONN students with Bob Marley posters in their dorms are looking up new pastries to make with legal weed.

NFL Mental Health Perspective of the Day

- NFL Mental Health Perspective of the Day


Junior Seau’s suicide has sparked an incredible amount of debate about the mental health ramifications of being a long term football player. Gary Plummer, Seau’s former teammate, had this to say on the matter:

They said a Grade 3 concussion meant you were knocked out, and a Grade 1 meant you were seeing stars after a hit, which made me burst out in laughter. As a middle linebacker in the NFL, if you don’t have five of these [Grade 1 effects] each game, you were inactive the next game. Junior played for 20 years. That’s five concussions a game, easily. How many in his career then? That’s over 1,500 concussions. I know that’s startling, but I know it’s true. I had over 1,000 in my 15 years. I felt the effects of it. I felt depression going on throughout my divorce. Junior went through it with his divorce.

As noted the other day, Seau’s family has agreed to allow his brain to be studied to a find link between repetitive brain injuries and depression.

Follow-Up of the Day: Tanning Mom vs. Snooki

Posted: 05 May 2012 04:00 PM PDT


As if being called the “Tanning Mom” in the annals of world media isn’t bad enough, Patricia Krentcil, was on the receiving end of Snooki’s rant when she called Krentcil “crazy.”

Now, Krentcil is fighting back with her own expletive-laden rant, therefore, causing a rift in the space-tan continuum.

Inappropriate Place to Find Cocaine of the Day

Posted: 05 May 2012 03:00 PM PDT

- Inappropriate Place to Find Cocaine of the Day


Utah resident, Cindy Davidson, was just trying to take care of some feminine hygiene business when she purchased a box of tampons. Much to her surprise, Davidson found some cocaine wrapped in cellophane in the box. Instead of using it to transport coke to a prisoner (like in the movies), Davidson, instead, notified authorities, who are currently looking into the matter. Whether or note Davidson has tried vodka-soaked tampons remains unclear.
