Your Daily* Dose of Viral: Detroit is Back

Posted on February 6, 2011 by Lauren Coffman



This video has all the best parts of Detroit: The Fox Theater, cars, and Eminem. To quote former UMCD Chair Sam Marvin, “I never thought a car commercial could make me proud of a city in which I’ve never lived.”

Quote of the Day

Posted on February 14, 2009 by NECS

“I think there are a lot of people in the Republican caucus who are glad to see this action taken without their fingerprints, without their participation,”

~ Senator Arlen Specter quoted in HuffPo.  Specter describes how several Republicans approached him and thanked him for taking a stand in support of the stimulus package. Specter than asked them if they would stand with him in support – each one told him that they could not… they had a tough primary ahead of them.

Way to be the part of weak wills and irrelevance.

Here is a great video encapsulating the Republican Party’s current lack of leadership:

From Kanye West

Posted on January 16, 2009 by NECS

I do not want to seem like I am stepping on Ariel’s toes with posting this video. I found this on the Kanye West blog. I do not know what the message is. I do not know why it was made. I just know that this embodies many things I love about The World, The United States of America, and Kanye West.

Enjoy.

Concerning Tom Duvall's Man Crush

Posted on December 23, 2008 by NECS

If any of you have been following the Bernie Madoff scandal then you know that he was able to steal billions of dollars from a wide range of businesses and charities. Most prominent in these  were Jewish charities that entrusted their money to Madoff – only to fall victim to his Ponzi scheme.

Well, in response this video was created to remind everyone that Rahm Emanuel is still the great hope.

Scariest Moveon e-mail ever

Posted on October 23, 2008 by Adrienne

Okay, so I don’t usually read any of the three e-mails that Moveon sends me….
But this one at first really freaked me out. 

 

or scary video here

 I tried to change the name in it to U of M students but it wouldn’t e-mail the copy.
But yeah, they sent me a free Obama t-shirt the other day (like seriously, I didn’t even have to pay for shipping and its totally my size) so I decided I’ll read those damn e-mails since I haven’t actually volunteered with them anyways.

Another "Respectful" Video from that "Respectful" McCain Campaign

Posted on August 12, 2008 by NECS

You have to wonder if this man is auditioning  for a segment on DemTV… although these editing skills remind me of my 11th grade spanish video wherein we made guacamole and made a TV advertisement for it… in bad spanish.

Makes you wonder if they rented their camera from the Library of Congress.

I really like how they tack on a Wayne’s World clip at the end. Adding that to this video doesn’t seem ironic or funny, which I think the McCain was going for, instead it just punctuates that their campaign is simply not worthy.

P.S. ABC News went and counted the number of young, white women featured in this video… four. Flashbacks to Harold Ford.

Update: McCain campaign took down the old video and replaced it with a version that is nearly identical except that they cut out the Wayne’s World homage at the end. Copyright infringement or just trying to cover stupidity tracks?
