Ohio Republicans think Romney killed bin Laden!

Okay, so that's not entirely true... I also don't know how seriously one can take this particular poll result, but in any case - I find it to be hilarious (in a sad way).

Public Policy Polling just released some poll results today. Go figure, right? While it showed President Obama leading Republican nominee Mitt Romney by 5 points in the huge battleground state of Ohio, there was one other result from the state which made me temporarily forget that Obama is ahead by 5 in Ohio.

According to this poll, 15% of Ohio Republicans believe that Mitt Romney deserves more credit than President Obama for killing Osama bin Laden. Another 47% of Ohio Republicans said they weren't sure who should receive more credit. At first, I thought this was an article from The Onion or Andy Borowitz, but no - it's legit.

In light of this poll, rumor has it that these Ohio Republicans also think McDonald's has the answer to the obesity epidemic, that Charlie Chaplin gave the "I have a dream" speech and that the West Nile is a river in Uranus.

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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
