A local store with a politically charged Halloween display is causing quite a stir. Is the display racist? In bad taste? Or merely a man showing his right to free speech and expression? The display at clothing store Skuby & Co. on 3rd Ave. in Spring Lake shows a tombstone with a photo of President [...]

Sesame Street Unhappy with Obama Campaign Ad

After Mitt Romney said at last week’s debate that he would cut the federal subsidy to PBS, everyone seemed to be talking about Big Bird. Obama’s camp capitalized on that, though it seems that the folks at Sesame Street are none too happy about it. Obama’s ad parodies Romney’s statements, starting with figures of men [...]

Laurie Cataldo — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:44:49 +0000

The first round of presidential debates last night were the perfect way to help us decide (with confidence) who to vote for next month. Except, generally, these debates never accomplish that. I consider myself a moderate independent. I don’t care about party affiliations or titles…I care about the actual issues and what a candidate plans [...]

The President is a busy guy, but he was able to take some time out and take part in the phenomenon of singing Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” Oh, the skills don’t stop there my friends. I now give you the President of the United States singing “Sexy And I Know It.”

Barack Obama Sings "Call Me Maybe"…Sort Of [VIDEO]

Laurie Cataldo — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:36:25 +0000

Nothing better than seeing the leader of the free world sing one of the catchiest and most ridiculous songs ever made. Did Barack Obama really sing Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe”? Well, kind of. The crafty folks at BarackDubs have mashed up various clips of the Prez, set it to the backing music, and [...]
