President Obama on Trayvon Martin

Obama_Trayvon_MartinIn an unscheduled and unusually personal speech last Friday, President Barack Obama tried to explain why African-Americans were upset about last week’s acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Obama’s 20 minute speech was a welcome response in my opinion although conservative news agencies and commentators like FOX News and Sean Hannity were quick to criticize the President.  I’ve been upset about this case since it was first reported and while I’ll admit I don’t know all the details, the fact that Zimmerman relied on Florida’s Stand Your Ground law to defend following a young black man who in his opinion “looked suspicious” smacks of vigilantism.

Did you miss Obama’s unscheduled address? Watch it here.

Why should we care?

KardashiansEach weekend Sean over at Just A Jeep Guy blog posts a long series of weekly political / satirical cartoons.  Each week I peruse them and occasionally comment but this cartoon struck a nerve so I thought I’d swipe it and share.

Tweets from Hillary: Sarah Palin

Hillary ClintonI’m sure many of you remember the funny “Texts from Hillary” site that went viral last spring; this one was a personal favorite.  However, Hillary Clinton recently made news joining Twitter so I had to laugh when Joe My God post this picture.

The subtlety may be lost on those not on Twitter, where Hillary Clinton uses her profile to define herself as Wife and Mom first before she goes on to list her many other accomplishments including some humorous descriptions like “pantsuit aficionado”.

Kmart will let you ship your pants

Kmart_LogoKmart has suddenly got cheeky with their YouTube “Ship My Pants” video.

Although it is 100% safe, someone with a great sense of humor noticed how similar “ship my pants” and “shit my pants” sounds – especially when said over and over again.  Take a listen and enjoy.
