Dennis Rodman Loses His Mind On National Television

Once Obama makes him the Ambassador to North Korea the picture will be complete!
Check it out:

Dennis Rodman absolutely lost his shit during an interview with CNN Tuesday morning.

The former NBA player and crazy person was talking to Chris Cuomo via satellite from North Korea where he is preparing to play a basketball game for his best friend Kim Jong-Un’s birthday.

Cuomo asked Rodman if he would take the opportunity to push the North Korean dictator to release the American Kenneth Bae, who has been detained in the country for more than a year on unknown charges. That’s when a visibly intoxicated and nonsensical Rodman lost his mind.

Cruz put RNC in tight spot during shutdown

By Chris Moody, Yahoo News

When Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz began his 21-hour speech on the Senate floor in protest of Obamacare, the Republican National Committee, seeing an opportunity to rally supporters and donors, quickly got behind him.

The party's website launched a Stand With Ted page to collect signatures, and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus penned a letter in support of the freshman lawmaker.

“In a fight between Harry Reid and Ted Cruz, I will stand with Ted Cruz any day,” Priebus wrote. “Today, Senator Cruz has taken the fight to defund ObamaCare to the Senate floor. I hope you will join me in standing with him in solidarity.”

Cruz had recently led a coalition of conservative lawmakers to persuade House GOP leaders to scrap their original plans and adopt his quixotic scheme to refuse to fund the government unless Obamacare was defunded. The government shut down for 16 days as a result.

Even after the shutdown began, the RNC continued to offer support for lawmakers who wanted to keep up the fight against Obamacare. But it had to do so without appearing to take sides when an internal spat broke out in the GOP over tactics. A group of Republicans who were growing disenchanted with the Cruz strategy wanted to strike a deal and reopen the government.

Ohio's capital city plagued by teen shootings

COLUMBUS — On average, a teen in Ohio’s capital city is a victim of gun violence every day.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that for last year, state records show more than 400 cases of Columbus residents under age 20 being shot, robbed, kidnapped or threatened with a gun. Columbus police statistics show that half of the offenses were committed by other teens.

Dispatch interviews with youths found that guns are part of the fabric of some neighborhoods. In some, nearly everyone knows someone who has been killed by a gun. The sound of gunshots is common, as is the sight of guns tucked into waistbands.

“It’s expensive to let this problem just continue to go on and on,” said Deanna Wilkinson, an Ohio State University professor who has studied youth violence. “Maybe you don’t have to drive through this neighborhood or know any of these kids personally, but you’re paying for societal neglect of a problem.”

The violence is “a continuous cycle,” said Cecil Ahad, the president of Men for the Movement, a youth advocacy and mentoring group. “These young people think they’re in a war ... We’re in a war just like Iraq and Afghanistan.”

The violence is most frequent in areas of the city with issues such as poverty and vacant housing.
Young people across the state are at risk of gun crime, but it’s particularly a problem in its biggest cities. Statewide, 2,355 teens were victims of a gun crime last year.
