We can still elect Romney for president! ...so says a conspiracy theorist...

Sheryl Nuxoll - Republican Idaho State Senator - just recently stated that the states, through the electoral college, can still refuse to election President Barack Obama to a second term in office, while giving the next four years to Republican nominee Mitt Romney. What is Nuxoll's reasoning?

She said that the "states are going to have to stand up for our individual rights and for our collective rights," because Obama is "depriving us of our freedoms."

Of course, she's wrong. As even the wacky right-wing conspiracy website World Net Daily noted, "Since this column was posted it has been discovered that the premise presented about the Electoral College and the Constitution is in error. According to the 12th Amendment, a two-thirds quorum is required in the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College."

What I find both so appalling, yet hilarious, is the fact that Nuxoll is asking the states to take away the voters' rights - you know, the people who elected President Obama to a second term - because the president is "depriving us of our freedoms."

Yes, as I read in a fortune (never), "Don't vote for Obama, so he can't take your freedoms away. If you do vote for Obama, I will take your freedoms away."

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...
