Todd Akin for Man of the Year!

Missouri Republican Senatorial candidate, Todd Akin, is at it again. If that man weren't a politician, judging by his words, I'd think he was a porn star. Let's be honest - the man knows how to smooth-talk a woman. 

About a month ago, Akin said the following with regard to abortion in the cases of rape: “It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.


Not long after that asinine statement was made, Akin's opponent - Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill (yes, of course - his opponent is a woman) - made a move in the polls, from down quite a ways to essentially even.

Well, ladies, Akin is at it again. The man is smoother than a gravel road filled with porcupines. Following the candidates' debate last week, Akin said this:

"I think we have a very clear path to victory, and apparently Claire McCaskill thinks we do, too, because she was very aggressive at the debate, which was quite different than it was when she ran against Jim Talent. She had a confidence and was much more ladylike (in 2006), but in the debate on Friday she came out swinging, and I think that's because she feels threatened."

I tell you what - if that guy were a couples' counselor, divorces would triple. If he were a Chippendale dancer, "Chippendales" would change their name to "We Loves Ho's" and be seen as more gentlemanly than Akin. If he were a phone sex operator, shrinks would have record business. If he were a male escort, a new-found phenomenon called escort-date suicides would arise. If he were wise, he'd learn to shut his mouth. If he were a real man, he'd learn how to respect women.

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...
