The Future of the Republican Primary...according to Mitt Romney...

More information has been released regarding his recent call to donors, where he stated that the reason President Obama won was because of his gifts to minorities, women, and young people.

In addition to that, Romney provided his insights on the Republican primary process and how it should be changed in the future: "...[the GOP should] agree that we're gonna do, you know, I don't know, eight debates, and we're gonna, we're gonna do one a month, and we're gonna pick stations that are reasonable, it's not all gonna be done by CNN and NBC, alright, I mean we're gonna try and guide this process that it's designed to showcase the best of our people as opposed to showcasing liberals beating the heck out of us."

Here we go again - blaming the "liberal" media for defeat! Considering Republican candidates have won five of the past nine presidential elections, I have a difficult time believing that claim. The "liberal" media must not have been up to their jobs five of the past nine presidential elections in bashing the Republican candidate enough to sway voters to the Democrat's side.

I'm curious what Romney means by "reasonable" stations, considering he's already excluded NBC and CNN from the lot - two of the more respected news stations in all of television. My guess is he means the likes of Fox News and...well, that's probably about it. Fox News is as liberal as George Michael is straight.

So, does Romney not think journalists should ask Republicans running for the top office in the land tough, legitimate questions? Should they not provide the public with the greatest overview of all the candidates so we can decide for whom we ultimately feel would be best in leading the country? Does he really think if he hadn't been asked these difficult questions in the Republican primary, that he'd be president today? If so, the man has drifted further into la-la land than I had initially thought.

With Fox News likely being the only "reasonable" news station on television, I'm guessing Romney would like for future moderators of debates to ask questions like the following:

"Do you love God?"

"Do you love America?"

"Have you ever read a book? Just a yes or no would be fine."

"Wasn't it nice out today?"

"How much do you love your family?"

"What kind of music do you like?"

"What's the capital city of your home state?"

"If we're looking at a map, what direction is at the very top? North, South, East, or West? You'll have 2 minutes to think about it."

"Who do you feel is the greatest comedian of all-time?"

"True or false - Is Kansas one of the fifty states in the United States?"

"What did you eat today?"

"Do you like reality television?"

"How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?"

"When bored, do you play solitaire at the computer?"

"Did you ever blow bubbles as a kid?"

"Dr. Seuss - yay or nay?"

"Do you still read comics?"

"What was your favorite Halloween costume growing up?"

"Do you like cream or sugar in your coffee?"

"What is your name? You may repeat what I just said, when directing my attention toward you by saying your name."

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!"
