So Obama uses a teleprompter... Know who else used one (sometimes two)? Ronald Reagan...

It's being reported that prior to the election, former Texas GOP chair and current Texas Eagle Forum president - Cathie Adams - said the following:

"...No. I'm telling you, Barack Hussein Obama has got to have a teleprompter because he fried his brain on drugs."

The teleprompter joke and argument has got to be one of the stupidest thrown around by the Republican Party. I have to shake my head and softly chuckle to myself whenever I hear or read a Republican criticizing President Obama and his use of teleprompters. The sad (well, sadder) part is it seems many die-hard Republicans eat it up (not literally, of course). My question is why?

While former Republican President George W. Bush wasn't fond of teleprompters, he did use them at times. Former Republican President George H.W. Bush has used teleprompters as well. Former Republican President Dwight Eisenhower used teleprompters. Believe it or not, but former Republican President Ronald Reagan used teleprompters also. Earlier this year, Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio criticized Obama for using teleprompters while he was using teleprompters.

"...Obama has got to have a teleprompter because he fried his brain on drugs."

Does this mean George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Marco Rubio, and many other Republican politicians both past and present needed teleprompters because their brains were fried on drugs as well? Like I said, this has got to be one of the stupidest arguments the Republican Party has thrown around about the president.

Continuing with this theme, I can just see members of the party saying the following things about the president over the next four years:

"Obama's weak! He needs a pen to write because he's too lazy to do it by himself!"

"Obama's not a leader! Leaders don't have to use their eyes to read bills!"

"People think Obama's a great orator. He ain't no great orator! Great orators don't have to open their mouths to speak, okay?!?"

With Ms. Adams' comment, I seriously wonder if she fried her brain on drugs.

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...
