The National Conventions Were Very Conventional

Ugh... another pep rally.

The party in power always says how good things are and how it's only going to get better if we keep them in power.

The party out of power always says how bad things are and it's only going to get better if we unseat the ruling party.

This has been going on forever.

Of course it has been.

Problem is, they flip back and forth, in and out of power against each other with pretty great regularity.

And society seems to move in the same general direction regardless of which party is in power.

And the past few years can't really be all good or all bad the way these parties make it out to be.

Just because of one political party.

When it just so happens to be the thing they need to say at that moment to get back in or stay in power.

Maybe they call it a convention because it is very conventional, what's always been done, for obvious reasons.

The script writes itself.

And couldn't write itself any other way.

Yawn.

Barack Obama Tattoos

With Barack Obama's approval ratings still at a solid 62%, I became suddenly curious to know how popular the 44th U.S. President really is. Are people so enamoured with President Obama that I could do a quick Google search and turn up some photos of people with permanent tattoos of Obama inked into their very skin? Oh yeah. It's that bad. Below are ten examples of Barack Obama tattoos (some decent, some pretty awful). PS: As a control, I decided to Google "bush tattoos." I found only two examples in the first couple pages, and they were decidedly anti-Bush. I also learned to never, ever Google "bush tattoos" again. Seriously. Don't. There are some gross tattoos out there. In the interests of full disclosure, I must admit that I am not a fan of President Obama . But I've got to say that the tattoos above aren't nearly as bad as this: Editor's note: The pictures are linked to their respective sources. To view the source pages, simply click

Legal Marijuana On The Michigan Ballot for 2018

A Michigan ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana received enough valid signatures to qualify for a vote in November. When the required number of ballot signatures was certified by the State Board of Canvassers, the 4-0 decision of the board was met by cheers from supporters of the initiative who were present, the Detroit Free Press reports . Rick Thompson, a board member of the Michigan National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), put this ballot initiative in perspective as a matter of the State of Michigan safeguarding its own sovereignty and protecting its own citizens from an intrusive federal policy: "The people of Michigan deserve this. They earned it. We've faced many trials and tribulations. We've had so many stop and go signs from the federal government. That's why states have to take the reins on the issue and really be the crucibles of democracy that they've always been intended to be." Indeed the last time
