Romney using healthcare plan as a defense - Eh, what?

So, to everyone's surprise, I'm sure - the voters think that President Obama can better relate to the average person than Mitt Romney, that he cares more about their needs.

Due to these poll results, Romney said the following yesterday: "Don't forget -- I got everybody in my state insured. One hundred percent of the kids in our state had health insurance. I don't think there's anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record."

Is this man trying to drive others and myself bonkers with regard to where he stands on healthcare reform? Seriously... Let's go through a chronological list pertaining to healthcare reform:


1) Romney signs Romneycare as Governor of Massachusetts

2) Obamacare, which is said to be nearly identical to Romneycare, passes

3) Upon receiving his party's nomination for president, Romney says his first order of business in the Oval Office would be to repeal Obamacare in its entirety

4) Romney later states that there are portions of Obamacare he likes and wouldn't mind holding onto

5) After hearing angry conservatives yelling at him and throwing feces at his bedroom window while cursing at him in jive, he states that he'll repeal all of Obamacare

6) Not long after, he states that while he'll repeal all of Obamacare, he'll still keep in tact the couple sections he likes

7) He happily accepts being called the grandfather of Obamacare

8) He says he will repeal Obamacare as president

9) He proudly speaks of Romneycare and says, "...I don't think there's anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record."

10) He continues to slam Obamacare and say he will repeal it

Mitt, I'm really trying to understand you here. Okay, so you're proud of Romneycare and think that passing that speaks a great deal about your character and the amount of care and empathy you have for people. You passed that as Governor of a state, so the law pertained to only people of that state. Obama passed a nearly identical version of Romneycare, which pertains to every person in this country, yet even though you like certain portions of the bill and will keep those somehow, you're going to repeal the whole thing? If passing the bill for the people of one state showed you care and empathize with people a great deal, to what does passing a similar bill for the whole country translate? You know, the bill you said you're going to repeal in its entirety, even though you like a couple parts of it and will hang on to those somehow? Ah, I give up. I need a drink!

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...
