Paul Ryan expects Romney to suck at the debate

I can understand politicians playing the expectation game, so they can in turn attempt to spin things to their advantage following a particular event. With the first presidential debate only three days away, Republican Vice Presidential candidate - Paul Ryan - did just this recently and to a ridiculous extent, in my opinion.

When talking to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday about the debate, Ryan said, "I don't think one event is going to make or break this campaign."

Okay, that wasn't so bad, but he then continued by adding the following: "Look, President Obama is a very gifted speaker. The man has been on the national stage for many years.  He's an experienced debater, he's done these kinds of debates before. This is Mitt's first time on this kind of a stage."

Mr. Ryan makes it sound as if Obama is running for an 8th presidential term. He also makes it sound as if Mitt Romney is just coming out of college and outside of an after-school program he participated in as a junior in high school, this will be his first debate.

On Wednesday night, just preceding the debate, I can just picture Paul Ryan airing this following ad all across the country to prepare the American people:

"Please don't watch the debate. Don't pay attention to the mainstream media for a full week after the debate. President Obama talks for a living and he does it so well. When his lips move, people smile, children are healed, rainbows are made. Yet will those smiles, healthy children and rainbows create jobs? No. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is a wonderful man, with perfect hair and would make for a much better president than our current one. However, he comes across as an idiot sometimes. This happens enough as it is when he doesn't know a camera is around. Just imagine how bad it is when he knows a camera is watching him. Well, I guess you've probably seen a few such occasions. When he talks, please don't listen to him. You may see his lips move and think, 'This guy is an idiot' or 'This guy is so out of touch' or 'Is he a robot who has a lifetime supply of Rogaine?' Don't listen to him. He doesn't know what he's saying. All I'm asking from you - the American people - is, without listening or thinking, to vote for him and make him the leader of this great nation. You may not like him. You may think he's full of it, which he is, but place all those biases aside and make him your president. Would you rather vote for a smooth-talker who makes people feel good or an idiot with nice hair? Go with the hair. I'm Paul Ryan and I approve this message."

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!"
