Paul Ryan talks about media bias on Fox News

When talking to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday (yes, it took place on Sunday and on Fox News), Paul Ryan said the following: "I think it goes without saying that there's definitely media bias. We expected media bias going into this."

He then continued, saying, "As a conservative, I've long believed and long felt that there's an inherent media bias. And I think anybody with objectivity would believe that that's the case."

When asked to provide specific examples of such coverage, the Republican Vice Presidential candidate and former cover model for Blind Weekly, could not provide any.

Paul Ryan complaining about media bias on Fox News would be akin to a pimp complaining to his prostitute about the immorality of premarital sex.

It seems as if specifics to Paul Ryan are like World Series titles to the Chicago Cubs. Although, unlike the Cubs, whom are America's lovable loser in baseball - having not won a title since 1908, Ryan's non-specifics  are more annoying than lovable, even to Chris Wallace of Fox News.

I can hear this following exchange between Ryan and a judge:

Ryan: "So, as you can see, your honor - there is bias. This is objective."

Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme: "Can you provide me with at least one specific example of such bias?"

Ryan: "I don't need specifics, your honor. It's objective."

Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme: "I'll need specifics from you if you want to prove that it is objective..."

Ryan: "Do you believe in being objective?"

Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme: "Of course..."

Ryan: "Well then - this is it. This is objective."

Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme: "I'm going to need more than that. Do you have any bit of evidence to prove media bias?"

Ryan: "Yes I do - the media is biased. This is a fact."

Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme: "See my name?"

Ryan: "Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme?"

Judge Uvegottobefrickingkiddingme: "My thoughts exactly."

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...
