WHY MICHELLE BACHMANN IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

Minneapolis, Minnesota (The Adobo Chronicles) – Michelle Bachmann makes no secret about her penchant for being called ‘Madam,’ as in Madam Representative. She is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota’s 6th district.

Her next career goal is to be called Madam President.

Last week, Bachmann publicly announced her intention to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2016.

If she loses in the contest, she has a backup plan: to establish a high-class brothel in Minneapolis, where, of course, as owner, she’d be called madam.

The problem is, prostitution is illegal in Minnesota, so she needs to work with state legislators to codify the world’s oldest profession in her state where carrying guns in public is legal, with permit.

Now that shouldn’t be such a difficult thing to do for a popular career woman and politician like Bachmann. All she needs to do is to partner with former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, many political pundits say.

AMERICAN IDOL UNDERGOING A MID-LIFE CRISIS

Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Auditions are now being held nationwide for Season 14 of American Idol (AI) but the reality show seems to be undergoing a mid-life crisis. Or shall we say ‘golden crisis?’

It all started when Steven Tyler became a judge on the singing competition. Viewers considered him to be too old (read: senior citizen) to judge young contestants. Not that the other judges weren’t close or already in their golden years.

Viewership & Contestants

In Season 1, the average age of American Idol viewers was 32. Today it’s 50 and beyond.

The only thing that has kept AI contestants within the teen and young adult demographic is the age cap of 28 years old.

But the sure sign of AI’s mid-life crisis is its newest sponsor: AARP.

OBAMA TO ISSUE EXECUTIVE ORDER ON DEPORTATION

July 24, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Los Angeles, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Comprehensive immigration reform legislation may be dead this year in the U.S. Congress, but it hasn’t stopped President Barack Obama from using his executive powers to try to fix the country’s broken immigration system.

In a speech today at a community college in Los Angeles, Obama said that American-based firms that use legal loopholes to avoid paying U.S. taxes have effectively renounced any allegiance to their home country. “These firms are essentially renouncing their American citizenship so that they can ship their profits overseas to avoid paying taxes – even as they benefit from all the advantages of being here in America,” the president added.

To deal with the situation, Obama said he will issue an executive order shortly that would speed up the deportation of officials and owners of these firms. “They will be the top priority of the Department of Homeland Security when implementing the country’s immigration laws, Obama said. He added that “we will keep and take care of the undocumented, unaccompanied children from Central America who crossed our borders, as well as the 11 Million undocumented immigrants now in the country but who do not have criminal records. We will focus our deportation efforts on the moneyed crooks who don’t value their American citizenship.”
