Roland Orzabal 

Perhaps THE most underrated male vocalist of all-time, Roland Orzabal is one of the two founding members of the stupendous "New Wave/Pop-Rock" band Tears For Fears, along with Curt Smith. Tears For Fears made such hits as "Mad World," "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and "Sowing the Seeds of Love," as any 80's music fan knows.

What people may not know is that Mr. Orzabal continued to kick ass as Tears For Fears after Curt Smith's departure in 1991, with the albums "Elemental" (1993), "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" (1995), and the B-side collection album "Saturnine, Martial & Lunatic" (1996), all of which feature Orzabal's stupendous vocal range and criminally underrated guitar-playing.

Mr. Orzabal followed these up with a badass Electronic album, "Tomcats Screaming Outside" (2001), before reuniting with Curt Smith, and releasing yet another masterpiece "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" (2004) as Tears For Fears, with Orzabal's signature wide-range vocals throughout.

30 years in the business, and lots of people still don't know who Roland Orzabal is. Now you know.
Person 1: "Roland Orzabal has to be in the Top 10 singers of all time."

Person 2: "Who the hell is Roland Orzabal?"

Person 1: "The dude from Tears For Fears."

Person 2: "Aren't there 2 dudes in Tears For Fears?"

Person 1: "Yeah, he's the one that kept the name going in the 90's."

Person 2: "Tears For Fears was around in the 90's?"

Person 1: "How do you know there were 2 dudes in Tears For Fears and not know they were around in the 90's?"

Rolland, a cool kid. Unique and superior to the Roland's consisting of only one L. Rolland has two because he hands it out frequently to scrubs.

He is stoic, holds himself with confidence, and takes your breath away when he walks into a room. His eyes and smile can light up any gloomy day, and he can dance like nobody’s watching. He is a beautiful person inside and out. One might call him a “manly man” because he can fix anything with his hands, and help with any problem. Yet he is humble, compassionate, kind, intelligent and selfless and likes to share knowledge with others. If you are lucky enough to know a Roldan, you will have a spark in your life like no other, a lot of laughs, and he is the best gift giver.
“Bruce needs a bruschetta” is so Roldan.

“Rolo is the new Yolo!”

“You fixed that _____all by yourself?! Damn, that’s Roldan”

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
