Hillary Clinton said what? "What difference, at this point, does it make?" Ah yes, plus a few additional words...

The Republican Party is at it again. Like they did with President Obama's "you-didn't-build-that" line, they're taking a Hillary Clinton quote so far out of context, the surrounding context has officially been reported as missing. If anyone finds the surrounding context, be certain to call Fox News with the information pronto.

On January 23rd at the Benghazi hearing, Clinton answered a question with the following: "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Fox News host and well-known Irish phone sex operator Bill O'Reilly, responded with this: "With all due respect, it makes a huge difference!"

Sean Hannity joined the fun, by saying, "She appeared to indicate that it doesn't matter who was behind the attack."

Yes, Clinton's quote was cause for a Fox News orgy, as Eric Bolling and Brian Kilmeade even got involved in the action (yes, a four-man orgy).

Bolling said: "It makes everything the difference to everyone who's been watching this, who's been following this, who've been trying to figure out who knew what, and when."

Kilmeade stated: "What difference does it make? The whole reason why we're there is because we don't know what happened still today!"

Oh, the four-man Fox News orgy was getting intense, so intense that I felt the need to make the aging men go limp yet again.

The thing is, like with the Republican Party focusing their attention on President Obama's "you didn't build that" line and not the surrounding context, they did the same thing here with Clinton.

Let's read what Clinton's full quote actually was:

"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator."

Your response, Mr. O'Reilly, Hannity, Bolling, and Dilweed, excuse me - Kilmeade? No? Nothing? I didn't think so.

Ah, the dreaded next line. Let's cut off that person's quote at just the right moment, so it can be twisted into something negative or make it appear as if he or she doesn't know what in the hell he's/she's talking about. Well, what goes around comes around, eh?

Bill O'Reilly made the following statement at one point in his career: "You want to have two guys making out in front of your 4-year-old?"

My response: Are you asking if I want to make out with you in front of a 4-year old? Were you talking to someone else? A member of the Fox News team? Ryan Seacrest?

The full quote: "You want to have two guys making out in front of your 4-year-old? It`s OK with them. A guy smoking a joint, blowing the smoke into your little kid`s face? OK with them. And I`m not exaggerating here. This is exactly what the secular movement stands for."


The man who loves himself more than plants love water - Sean Hannity - said the following words at some point in the past: "It is the only way I can do it and do it well."

My response: Thanks for sharing. Are you talking about missionary position? Doggystyle? Up the rear perhaps? I'm guessing it's the third of those options and yes, I'm sure you do it very well. Congratulations to you and your partner(s).

The full quote: "I am very disciplined in my life and very up front. It is the only way I can do it and do it well. I am up every day at 7, and I feed my kids, no matter how long the day was."


Eric "Boring" Bolling has said this at some point or another: "When you're done, you're not only physically done, you're mentally done."

My response: Yeah, tell me about it. Actually, please don't. I have no idea what you're talking about, but am guessing the activity of which you speak is thinking, and I'm certain it's a very rare and exhausting occurrence for you.

The full quote: "It's like if you spent 4 1/2 hours on a football field or a basketball court. When you're done you're not only physically done, you're mentally done."


Brian Kilmeade, who has been rumored to have half the IQ of Forrest Gump, said the following: "We are — we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other."

My response: Alright, so I'm going to guess that regardless of the surrounding context, this quote will appear to be less bright than a burned-out light bulb. Marrying other species, eh? That's quite something. I suppose my friend John did just get engaged to an owl he met on DatingHotHooters.com.

The full quote: "We are — we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other. See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes …. Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society.”

Keep up the good work, Fox News. You make my job so much easier and more enjoyable. Yes, I realize in your mind, you just saw the following words - "Keep up the good work, Fox News." Trust me, the time I use those very words void of surrounding context and without any element of sarcasm involved will be the day when I marry an owl I met on the site DatingHotHooters.com.

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!"
