How ironic is it that the final presidential debate is in Boca Raton, Florida?

I haven't heard many in the media mention this bit of irony, but upon hearing that the third and final presidential debate will be held in Boca Raton, Florida on Monday, I busted out laughing.

Why did I find this bit of news so funny? That's because in the third and final debate, about two weeks prior to the election, will be held in Boca Raton, where Mitt Romney provided his donors and via a leaked audio tape, millions of Americans, his 47% comments. That's right - "47%" took place in Boca Raton, Florida. 

How perfect is that? This sounds too good to be true. While the debate will largely focus on foreign policy, it'd be a crime if the "47%" comments weren't mentioned at least once. Obama has been handed a golden opportunity. If and when Romney attacks him for his bowling skills or whatever is on his mind at the moment, the president can simply respond with, "That reminds me. I love Boca Raton. I think you do too, don't you, Governor Romney? As a matter of fact, he loves this place so much, that he held a private meeting here with some donors back in May, where he said that it wasn't his job to worry about the 47% of Americans whom don't pay federal income taxes - going on to say they're irresponsible and will vote for me no matter what he said or did. That, of course, isn't true. The fact of the matter is, I love Boca Raton, Florida, and no matter who anyone votes for or how much money they make, I will represent them as President of the United States of American - not 53% of you, like Governor Romney, but 100% of you." 

Ah, it's like poetry.

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!"
