Colt 45 Malt Liquor is not named after the legendary gun of the Wild West. It is named for Jerry Hill, a running back who wore the number 45 and played for — wait for it — the Baltimore Colts.

Martin Shkreli Democrat Donor
Martin Shkreli Democrat Donor — Martin Shkreli is the progressive hipster — he once spent $2 million for a special copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album — who was CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals AG until he was arrested by the FBI on Dec. 17 on charges of securities fraud. 
His arrest, though, was not what made him “the most hated man in America” as he has become known. What won him that title was his raising the price of the anti-malarial drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per tablet back in September.
Daraphrim is considered an “essential medicine” by the World Health Organization and is desperately needed especially in the poor parts of the globe.
On Feb. 4, Shkreli was brought before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives to answer questions regarding the price hike. He took the Fifth and smirked at legislators.
It turns out that he’s a big political donor. To what party as if you had to ask? It’s the Democrats. He dumped $33,400 in into the Democratic Senatorial Campaign last July and has endorsed Bernie Sanders for president.
