Well, this is stupid - Group attacks Obama on Bin Laden raid

I really don't understand political strategies sometimes. I didn't understand John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate for the 2008 Presidential Election. I honestly don't really understand Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate. Now it appears as if a group of ex-special operations and C.I.A. officers have released a video criticizing the president of his Bin Laden raid.

I guess this group believes that the president allowed for certain leaks regarding the mission in order to improve his political standing with the public, placing this country in harm's way. True or not, what this group is doing is making the country relive one of Obama's high points in office - the killing of Osama bin Laden. I'm trying to be politically correct here, but I think this move by the Opsec group is "mentally handicapped". Many of the members of this group have been involved with either/both the Republican and Tea Party. If they truly want President Obama to lose the upcoming election, why in Hercules' rectum would they bring up the Osama bin Laden killing yet again? I see this only backfiring on the group and I sincerely hope the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert highlight it in order to illustrate just how ridiculous and idiotic a move this is. Well, I must be going. I'm going to make the public hate my arch-nemesis by telling them of the time he saved a child's life. Wish me luck!

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...
