One's "hope" is another's facepalm...

It seems as if President Barack Obama's calls for "hope" have been the butt of quite a number of jokes told by conservatives over the past four years. Many laughed at just the word - "hope" - as if it'd be silly, naive and ignorant for anyone to actually believe in such a thing - in hoping that mankind can work together to improve our present and in turn our future. If one stops to think about it, though, don't most of these conservatives believe in "hope" and even on a grander, more ridiculous scale?

While it's true that many liberals believe that the government can improve our way of life and our future - often times referring to this as having "hope" - what is it that many conservatives believe and hope? The evangelical right will often times vote for Republican candidates because they truly believe they're voting in line with what's taught in The Bible. In what do they have hope? That one day, after they pass, their souls will magically be whisked away to a land that cannot be seen when one is breathing and forever reside in a paradise known as heaven with their creator (no, not their parents - although they may be there too, I suppose) and his son, who was born from a virgin woman's vagina, remained perfect throughout his years and sacrificed himself for all of man's sins. Why is it that Obama and liberals' "hopes" are so crazy again?

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...
