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...

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...
