RANT Segments & Headlines:

• GOP Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush accidentally picked a fight with Stephen Colbert. For the Premiere of the Late Show… https://www.facebook.com/msnbc/videos/1005862942843291/

• Someone made a really expensive Record Player, with lasers. http://www.magic925.com/rdub/new-laser-turntable-plays-your-records-without-even-touching-them/

• Deputy Clerk Brian Mason hung a sign saying his new title was “Marriage License Deputy” indicating he will be following the law, not that crazy woman who is the Clerk of Rowan County. Good on him! http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/deputy-clerk-vows-to-defy-kim-davis-and-continue-issuing-marriage-licenses-to-gay-couples/

• “Science” has apparently created a blood test that will tell you when you will die. http://www.brobible.com/life/article/science-blood-test-when-die/

• http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/texas-lawyer-exposes-religious-hiring-test-for-peace-officers-county-only-wanted-baptist-constables/

• Obama signs 'Blue Alert' law to protect police (-back in May but it was not widely publicized.) The law will require instant nationwide "Blue Alerts" to warn about threats to police officers and help track down the suspects who carry them out. The Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu National Blue Alert Act of 2015 is named for the two New York Police Department officers killed in an ambush attack last December. It was so uncontroversial that it passed both the House and the Senate by voice vote. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/05/19/obama-blue-alert-law-bill-signing/27578911/

• Long story short: Miller’s going to sue her again, because apparently being criticized for lying to people on the internet is illegal in Miller’s mind. There are wonderful and horrible videos… http://www.patheos.com/blogs/wwjtd/2015/09/adam-miller-is-filing-another-lawsuit-against-the-youtuber-who-exposed-him-please-share-this/

• The frontman for the classic rock band Survivor isn't seeing eye to eye with Mike Huckabee or newly freed Kentucky clerk Kim Davis after they used one of the group's signature songs without permission. Frankie Sullivan slammed the pair on his Facebook page on Tuesday for blaring the band's Oscar-nominated 1982 hit, "Eye of the Tiger," during Davis' release.

• GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz was cock blocked by GOP Presidential looney Mike Huckabee when he was blocked from getting into the limelight of the Kim Davis martyr “event”. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/huckabee-cruz-kim-davis

• John McAfee Is Starting a New Political Party For His Presidential Run. McAfee, a man who made his fortune selling anti-virus software and is more recently known for antics like playing Russian roulette in front of journalists and being hunted down for questioning in the murder of his neighbor in Belize, his entry into the race somehow doesn’t feel like the b-movie plot that it should be. http://gizmodo.com/john-mcafee-is-starting-a-new-political-party-for-his-p-1729425078

The Good:

1. Rick Perry drops out, but with a warning for the GOP RNC. "First, the answer to a president nominated for soaring rhetoric and no record is not to nominate a candidate whose rhetoric speaks louder than his record," Perry's prepared remarks said, warning conservatives against "falling for the cult of personality."Perry continued, "My second warning is this: we cannot indulge nativist appeals that divide the nation further. The answer to our current divider-in-chief is not to elect a Republican divider-in-chief." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/rick-perry-drops-out-of-2016-presidential-race/

The Ugly:

1. Refugee Ceiling. The Refugee crisis and why america only takes in 1,500 (for this crisis) while Germany has taken in over 800,000. The US claims that is helps enough with military relief efforts and aid dollars of around $4Billion.
