Romney's now about the 100%, just 4 months after being about the 53%...

Mitt Romney is something else. Upon video footage being released of him telling some large donors that he won't worry about 47% of the American population, since he has no chance to win their vote (not true, as Obama only leads with these voters by a 49-43% margin) and standing by that for a few days, the Republican Presidential nominee is now saying he represents 100% of the people in this country.

Let's run through this series of events:

1) Romney tells large donors at a private fundraiser that 47% of the population doesn't matter and without his knowledge, someone records the speech

2) The tape gets fully released 4 months later

3) Romney faces major backlash due to the tape and this can be seen both in poll numbers and heard from liberal and conservative politicians and talking heads alike

4) Romney more or less stands by what he said in the tape for a few days

5) Romney then tells the public that he supports not just 53% of them, but all 100% of them

Yeah, that sounds genuine. It's like if I were married, cheated on my wife and told a few buddies in private about it. Someone audio recorded the chat, informed my wife and I then went on to admit to her that yes, I cheated as could be heard via the tape. A few days later, as she's packing her things and about to leave, I then tell her that I never actually cheated on her. Think she'll buy that? No, I wouldn't either.

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...
