Rick Santorum weighs in on the gay marriage debate

In light of the Republican Party losing seats in both the House and the Senate, not to mention the presidential election this past November, some more libertarian conservatives have expressed that the Republican Party may want to think about becoming more moderate on social issues, especially when it comes to gay marriage. Ohio and Illinois' Senators Rob Portman and Mark Kirk have since come forward with their support for gay marriage rights. Due to this, former Pennsylvania Senator and man voted most likely to have an affair with Pat Robertson - Rick Santorum - decided to make his voice heard about these matters, when he recently told the Des Moines Register the following:

"I'm sure you could go back and read stories, oh, you know, 'The Republican party's going to change. This is the future.' Obviously that didn't happen. I think you're going to see the same stories written now and it's not going to happen. The Republican Party's not going to change on this issue. In my opinion it would be suicidal if it did."

Suicidal, eh? So, it would be "suicidal" for the Republican Party to "evolve" on the gay rights issue - an issue that is now supported by well over half the country (including a growing number of self-described Republicans), an issue which being showcased more and more through studies that it's not really an issue at all, an issue which could open the party up to a larger block of voters? Yeah, that's political suicide right there.

While Santorum is at it, he may want to declare the following as suicidal as well:

Santorum: "In my opinion, it would be suicidal for the Republican Party to..."

- ..."like sports, especially the ones where guys play with big balls."

- ..."enjoy listening to music. Well, I should revise that statement. It would be suicidal for the Republican Party to enjoy listening to any kind of music other than gospel. If the songs aren't sung in a church, they shouldn't be sung at all. ...with one exception - Taylor Swift. If I weren't a happily married man, I would so want to be her boyfriend. I guess that goes for Justin Bieber too. I'd so want to be her boyfriend as well."

- ..."watch any channel on television other than Fox News. Hold on a sec while I watch the final minute of this Seinfeld episode. This is one of my favorites. ::long pause::. I'm so glad Fox News started playing episodes of Seinfeld. Not only are they the only balanced name in news, they're the most entertaining one as well."

- ..."eat at restaurants that don't rhyme with Dick Filet."

- ..."believe that corporations aren't people. I've spoken to many corporations. As a matter of fact, I am both a corporation and a person. I speak to myself, quite often actually. It'd be crazy to think corporations aren't people!"

Know what could very well be political suicide for the Republican Party? If it ever nominated Rick Santorum as its candidate for a presidential election.

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!"
