It's ACORN's fault Obama won the election! The only problem with that theory is...

The Republican Party continues to be in denial about last month's election. I've heard the following reasons as to why Republicans lost seats in the House, the Senate, as well as a chance to win  back the White House: The electoral college, Gary Johnson, voter suppression, Chris Christie, Hurricane Sandy, the media, voters dependent on government, voter fraud, racists, and the most recent (possibly my favorite) is ACORN.

Yeah, in a new poll released by Public Policy Polling, it was found that 49% of Republican voters nationally think that the group known as ACORN stole the election for Obama.

There's only one problem with that theory. It's only a minor one, but is a problem nonetheless. ACORN no longer exists.

Following this trend, I believe Republicans will blame the following for their defeat in the 2012 election at some point before the 2016 election:

The dodo bird
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Elvis Presley
Realistic reality shows
Good defenses in college football
Honest salespeople
Funny Adam Sandler movies
Al Capone
Gumby
Non-delusional Republicans

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...
