Plan B for Laura Ingraham seems to be the logic and common sense route...

In response to the Obama Administration making Plan B available over the counter for women of any age, conservative talking head and woman voted most likely to have been a man in a former life - Laura Ingraham - said the following on Fox News Tuesday morning:

"These girls can't get their ears pierced, they can't take an Advil at school without parental permission. Yet, they can go into a pharmacy in this Brave New World of women's equality and - quote - reproductive health and get a morning after pill."

She also said this reversal by the Obama Administration would be "a good deal for pedophiles" as well as "men who want to abuse women."

So, if a pedophile or an abusive man rapes a woman, Ms. Ingraham would prefer that this woman not take the morning-after pill and increase the odds that she has an abortion than to take the morning-after pill and decrease the odds of having an abortion? For a woman that is so anti-abortion, I find this to be perplexing. What, does she feel if a woman is raped and takes the morning-after pill, this will allow the pedophile or abusive man to get away with said rape? Does Ms. Ingraham know that if a woman is raped and goes to the emergency room telling the doctors such, she will be given a series of tests to try and identify the DNA of the rapist and will also be given the morning-after pill?

Even if a younger woman has consensual sex with a guy her age, taking the morning-after pill will sharply decrease the odds of her having an abortion. So, once again, why is it that Ms. Ingraham is so strongly against Plan B, as it's called? An increased use of contraception leads to a decrease in unwanted pregnancies and a decrease in abortions. If Ingraham was truly against abortion, I'd think she'd be all in favor of more access to contraception. That's what common sense and logic would dictate anyway. Unfortunately, it appears as if those two things left her a long time ago.

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!"
