American's for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow

What started as satirical, political humor on the Colbert Report, mocking two republican candidates for their negative super PAC ads against each other, soon became more than any of us could've imagined. Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report (a mock news cast on Comedy Central) had been picking apart how super PACs work to his audiences for weeks. Yet, when the opportunity presented itself,  Colbert started a super PAC of his own. The Colbert super PAC invited unlimited contributions from donors who were listed as "Heroes" on the Colbert Report and spent this money to make super PAC ads of his own, bashing all candidates. Colbert then announced that he was forming an exploratory committee (which seemed to consist of Dr. Henry Kissinger, Pat Buchanan, Criss Angel Mindfreak, Siri, Grima Wormtongue, Rosco the Super Intelligent Ferret, Chuck Todd, and a roll of quarters) to consider running for the President of the United States of South Carolina. The committee encouraged voters of Iowa, New Hamphire, or South Carolina to write-in Rick Perry's name spelt with an A (Rick Parry) on the ballot OR place a vote for Herman Cain's suspended campaign as a vote for Colbert. This was all perfectly legal according to Colbert's lawyer. As long as he was gaining this money through a super PAC, Colbert could essentially spend the money any way he wanted. So to make it official, Colbert brought in his close friend Jon Stewart from the Daily Show to "coordinate" with the super PAC, which officially means that Colbert can't share his plans with Stewart. Ads by "The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC" were shown in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina like actual campaign ads and Colbert held rally's such as the "Rock Me Like A Herman Cain" rally at colleges throughout these states. The Colbert/Cain campaign ultimately received 45 votes in Iowa, 160 votes in New Hamphire, and 6,324 votes in South Carolina, leaving the the campaign with more votes than Perry, Huntsman, and Bachmann combined. However, the campaign was still only had 1% of the votes, so on Monday night Colbert announced that he was re-suspending Herman Cain's already suspended campaign. Colbert explains that while "American's for a better Tomorrow, Tomorrow" was a mockery on how far politics have gone in the past election, if you think that it's a joke, then you're admitting that the election tactics being used by actual candidates in this election are also a joke.

Best Baby Ever

Beyonce first showed her glorious little baby bump in her stunning music video "countdown" which excited fans everywhere (or excited everyone everywhere, 'cause who isn't a Beyonce fan?) Little Blue Ivy Carter finally arrived on January 7th, 2012. Her name is thought to be a combination of her Daddy's favorite color, blue, and the roman numeral of both her parent's lucky number, IV. But Blue Ivy isn't just the baby of two celebrities, she's a celebrity baby! Thanks to Jay-Z featuring her cries in the song "Glory", Blue Ivy is officially the youngest person to ever appear on the billboard charts. Jay-Z released this song about Blue Ivy the Monday after she was born and it immediately became viral. The song is now entering the billboard charts at no. 74. Best. Baby. Ever.

Straight to the Point on Same Sex Parenting

The issue of whether being raised in a homosexual home, as opposed to heterosexual home, has a negative effect on the child or not has been controversial since the gay rights movement took off. (I believe that Gay Rights is the Civil Rights of this generation.) But while many religious organizations, such as the Catholic Church, have been opposed to it for years, even denying gay couples the option to adopt from them, the fact of the matter is that there is absolutely no research to back up their claims. In fact, research shows the children raised by same-sex parents tend to be more open-minded and tolerant than those raised in a "traditional household". And furthermore, homosexual parents tend to be more committed and motivated than heterosexual parents on average because they chose to be parents. Gay couples rarely become parents by accident, as opposed to the almost 50% of unplanned pregnancy's among heterosexual parents. And yet, adoption agencies still discriminate against gay couples even when it is proven that gay couples are one of the most powerful resources for kids in need of adoption. American's needs to open their eyes and realize that the ignorant myths they have been under the spell of for so long have absolutely no substance. The effects of being raised by a single parent are not the same as being raised by two of the same gender. Two good parents are better than one good parent, and one good parent is better than two bad parents. Gender has absolutely nothing to do with it. With many children, it is impossible to tell whether they were raised in a homosexual or heterosexual household. In fact, many of these children raised by gay couples have grown to be intelligent, good-hearted and well spoken adults such as Zach Whales. (above video clip)
