The Worst Pick Up Lines You'll Hear Today

There's no two ways about it. These pickup lines are just plain terrible.

2,000 People at Brampton "Mansion Party" Raided by Police

Posted: 05 May 2014 09:51 AM PDT

If your idea of a great party involves thousands of people stuffed into a house, only to be broken up by local police, then Brampton was the place to be last night. The party was promoted on Twitter with the hashtag #MansionParty. Several comparisons were made to the 2012 film Project X which portrayed a similar event.

Police estimated between 1,500 and 2,000 people attended the party, either crammed inside the house or outside in the adjacent yards. If the organizer's intent was to simulate that movie's uncontrollable crowds, havoc and property damage, then mission accomplished.

The homeowner's son had permission to have a party, but "not of this magnitude," Peel Regional Police Sgt. Darcy North told the Toronto Sun. Police shut the event down after "one of the home's occupants" called. The party had apparently gotten out of control.

An estimated $70,000 in damage was inflicted on the house, but that number could increase as damage claims come in over the weekend.

The World According to Cats [Infographic]

In ancient times cats are considered guardians of the underworld. That is why they are considered sacred in many societies. For more information about these beloved felines, here's an infographic by Cheapflights about the world according to cats. You will be amazed the bulk of information that you will accumulate.

More than 20 actions, and counting:

Hey, everyone --

The President made something very clear in his State of the Union address this past January:

Wherever and whenever he can take action to expand opportunity for more American families, he's going to do it, with Congress or without.

Republicans in Congress have actually set records in obstruction and inaction, blocking simple yes-or-no votes on proposals that would create jobs and expand opportunity for more Americans. On the other hand, the President has steadily acted on his own to help build real, lasting economic security for the middle class.

We're talking about actions that are:

Creating new manufacturing hubs to spur new research and private-sector activity in communities across the country
Expanding apprenticeships and job training programs that we know prepare workers for jobs of the future
Getting the long-term unemployed back to work
Addressing the gender pay gap
Making college a reality for more young Americans
Raising the minimum wage for employees on new federal contracts

And that's just to name a few.

But don't take my word for it -- watch President Obama describe in his own words just a few of the more than 20 actions the Administration has taken so far this year. Take a look, and then share this with someone who needs to see it.

Of course, Congress has the ability to expand opportunity for more Americans even further.

And the President is just as eager now as he was four months ago to work with lawmakers when they are willing to act on behalf of working Americans.

But in the meantime, he's not standing still -- and that means working with the private sector, state and local officials, and anyone else who's interested in building an economy where more hardworking people can get ahead. That's what's happening right now, and it's what's going to continue happening over the course of this year.

Take a look at what we've done so far this year -- and if you learn something new, make sure you pass it on.

Thanks,

Dan
