A new poll suggests that a majority feel the Republican Party is too extreme. Gee...really?

In a new CNN poll, 53% of Americans - including 22% of Republicans - feel that the Republican Party is too extreme. The Democratic Party, meanwhile, is believed to be "generally mainstream" by 57% of Americans.

It can't be a good thing when nearly a quarter of a party feel their party is too extreme. This is what I've been saying all along, though. The biggest reason why I find it to be so much easier to write satire at the expense of the Republican Party than the Democratic Party - and I'm sure this plays a large factor with the likes of Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Saturday Night Live, and company - is because of how extreme they've become. The Democratic Party looks more and more to me like the Republican Party from the 1970s, whereas the Republican Party has come across like a hybrid of a crazy drunk uncle and Jim Jones. If the party genuinely wants to be seen as less extreme, they'll make it their mission to eventually cross off "moderate Republicans" from the endangered species list, which is where they currently reside - and closing in on extinction.

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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
