Drunken Rick Perry

It's unofficially official (according to me), Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry sounded a tad drunk or high in his recent New Hampshire speech. I'll give you all a chance to view this for yourselves: http://www.fitsnews.com/2011/11/01/nh-speech-was-rick-perry-drunk/

Pretty funny stuff, eh? I really hate to stereotype, but what is it with these Texas Governors? It's well documented that George W. Bush, at one time, had a drinking problem. He didn't seem to shy away from the coke or choking on pretzels either. Whenever the guy spoke, I had to think to myself, "Can he really be that dumb or is he just drunk?" Unfortunately for him (and us), I don't think he was drunk. Rick Perry comes across as Bush's non-identical twin. The way they talk (eloquent, of course...), they way they gesture, the way they have difficulty forming complete grammatically-correct sentences and the way they appear as if they're drunk or high half the time they speak. As I'm sure many people have either seen the picture of which I speak or just heard the phrase - "Do you miss me yet?" - in reference to former president, George W. Bush, if you do miss Dubya, Rick Perry is your guy! My answer to that? No. Eight years with one Republican Texas Governor was more than enough for me. I don't need another four to eight. Fortunately, as Rick Perry appears to be battling Herman Cain for craziest GOP candidate running for president, and with Perry's approval numbers sliding, it's very doubtful he will win the nomination. At the same time, however, Cain is neck-and-neck with Mitt Romney for first in the race to become the GOP nominee.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
