Marco Rubio Reminds You What A Young Jock He Is

Earlier this week, Sen. Marco Rubio released a campaign spot where he tried to “out-Jesus” his competitors in the current pack GOP White House hopefuls.

Today, in another campaign ad – set to air during NFL playoffs –  Rubio goes “full-jock”to remind you:

• He played college football, so he’s cool.

• Married a Miami Dolphins cheerleader, so he’s cool.

• He can laugh at his now-famous debacle of a State of the Union rebuttal speech when he nervously reached for water, so he’s cool still thirsty.

Rubio told the crew at Fox & Friends that the ad was “just another way to keep people interested.”

“In the end we’re focused on the big issues before our country, but football is pretty big this week,” Rubio said.

Oh, and he brought in a little bit of super-star power in the form of Beyoncé herself at the end.

Trump Supporters Destroy Protester Signs At Massachusetts Rally

The atmosphere at Donald Trump rallies continues to devolve as this video from last night shows. Note that the men are sitting quietly holding their signs in their laps when the trouble begins.

The two appear to have been holding handmade signs (“AMERICA IS ALREADY GREAT”) when their seat mates notice and take issue. One Trump supporter shouts “shut your mouth!” at the silent man, while another demands “You’re at a Trump rally? Ditch those. Ditch ’em.”

After these neighboring men tore up the signs, the two protesters are escorted out by Lowell police officers. As usual, it appears Trump took a great deal of satisfaction in the theater of the confrontation, which sent his fans into a frenzy of USA! chants and applause.

So much for public discourse.

And did you catch the woman next to the men try to trip them as they are escorted out?

Postmodern Jukebox Covers NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” In 60s Surf Rock Style

I was trying to think of a #ThrowBackThursday post for today, and coming up dry until I got this message from Scott Bradlee and his Postmodern Jukebox crew:

This week, we gave NSYNC’s hit, “Bye Bye Bye” a Quentin Tarantino spin by imagining how it would sound in the soundtrack to “Pulp Fiction.”

Watch the video debut of Tara Louise – another fantastic young vocalist that we found during our #PMJsearch contest – and enjoy the return of our (now Grammy Nominated) Tambourine Guy, Tim Kubart.

So, I decided there was enough “throwback” in this cool twist on N’SYNC to qualify for #TBT.

Love that iconic 60s surf rock sound.

You can find the song on iTunes here.
