Another study shows that Republican politicians lie more than Democratic ones

In what is appearing to be more a trend than an aberration, yet another study has shown that Republican politicians lie more than Democratic ones, especially when it comes to lies which are so ridiculous, Pinocchio even says, "That sh*t's messed up!"

Based on fact-checking grades made by fact-checking site Politifact, George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs has reported that since January of this year, 52% of Republicans' statements have been rated as either mostly or entirely false, while just 24% of Democrats' statements have been rated similarly.

According to this same report, the month of May has been an even more dishonest one for the Republican Party, largely due to the controversies surrounding the AP, IRS, and Benghazi. Through the first three weeks of this month, 60% of Republicans statements have been graded as false, while 29% of Democrats' comments have been graded similarly.

Of course, this must just be another case of the media being liberally-biased - that or perhaps research, statistics, and reality have a liberal bias.

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...
