"You might be a tyrant if..."

In light of President Obama making a speech regarding how to prevent gun violence, right-wing pundits and politicians have called him a tyrant and compared him to the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Hussein, and others. 

In response to this ridiculous outpouring of hyperbole, I got in touch with my innermost Jeff Foxworthy and ask for all of you to do the same. I call the following piece, "You might be a tyrant if..."

- "You might be a tyrant if you pass laws making it more difficult for people with a history of abusing their pets from buying other pets, while not taking away this right from those whom treat their pets with kindness and care."

- "You might be a tyrant if you pass laws making it more difficult for people with a history of child abuse from adopting kids, while not taking away this right from those whom are responsible and loving parents."

- "You might be a tyrant if you pass gun laws making it more difficult for people with a history of gun violence from purchasing guns, while not taking away this right from those whom are responsible, law-abiding citizens."

- "You might be a tyrant if you're Ronald Reagan and said these words on February 7th of 1989 - 'I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting, and so forth, or home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home.'"

- "You might be a Tyrant if your parents were just really mean."

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...
