Congress may soon become less popular than getting a root canal while listening to Nickelback

It's been known for quite some time that Americans don't like Congress very much, but according to a brand new poll, it appears as if Congress has reached such a low point, the experience of receiving a root canal while listening to Nickelback may now be more popular.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, just 6% of the American public have a positive view of Congress, where 1% feel its doing an excellent job and 5% think its doing a good job.

To place this into a bit of perspective, via other polls, Americans view the following more favorably than Congress:

- Iraq (25%)

- Justin Bieber (20%)

- Rap (19%)

- Hipsters (16%)

- Afghanistan (14%)

- Chris Brown (14%)

- North Korea (11%)

- Iran (10%)

Yeah, nations we've gone to war with, other nations who've threatened us at one time or another, a man who is notorious for beating up women, along with rap, hipsters, and whatever Justin Bieber is, are all more popular than Congress. Like I said, Congress may soon be reaching that point where its less popular than getting a root canal while listening to Nickelback.

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...
