Dr. Ben Carson claims that white liberals are the most racist people, because they categorize others. Say what?

One of the hottest names in the Republican Party right now is so-called up-and-comer, Dr. Ben Carson. Carson is an African-American Johns Hopkins University neurosurgeon and while his policy ideas seem to be right in line with far-right conservatives such as Rick Santorum and Chuck Norris, he honestly doesn't provide any new insights of which to be excited about for conservatives and moderates alike. Like with the four African-American Republicans before him, Ben Carson provides the illusion to the Republican Party that he could bring them minority votes, because that's all minorities want - a president who has a similar skin color as they! This is why roughly 90% of African-Americans voted for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004!

Well, the more Mr. Carson speaks publicly, the more he seems to fit right in with the far-right side of the aisle. On Monday's The Mark Levin Show, host Mark Levin and Mr. Carson engaged in the following back-and-forth:

Levin: "And you're attacked in many respects because of your race. You're not supposed to think like this, and supposed to talk like this. A lot of white liberals just don't like it, do they?"

Carson: "Well, they're the most racist people there are. You know, they put you in a little category, a little box -- you have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?"

Let me get this straight - "white liberals" are the "most racist," because they place people into little categories, like "white liberals," for example? Ah, yes! Preach on, black conservative! Oh, sorry, you don't like to be categorized, do you? How I can't help but be a racist white liberal sometimes. My apologies...

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!"
