Romney: Hurricane Sandy didn't come at the right time...

Over the past week or so, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has decided to start speaking publicly more. No, I'm not sure why this is either, especially after reading his most recent comments regarding Hurricane Sandy.

When speaking to Neil Cavuto of Fox News this past Friday, Romney said, "I can tell you the hurricane didn't come at the right time."

Earlier in the week, Romney said the following on CNN: "I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened when it did, because it gave the President a chance to be presidential, and to be out showing sympathy for folks. That's one of the advantages of incumbency."

No, Mitt Romney has never been known as a smooth-talker and these preceding comments again showcase that.

The hurricane didn't come at the right time? When was the right time then? When was the "right" time for Hurricane Sandy to kill 159 people and inflict between $50 and $100 billion of damage? Let me answer that question - there was no "right" time for the hurricane to strike.

Okay, perhaps Robot Romney simply misspoke. He didn't mean to imply there was a "right" time for the hurricane to strike. But then why did he say something eerily similar earlier in the week on CNN, when he said, "I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened when it did..."?

What do both those statements imply? The hurricane is more about him than the actual victims of the storm. It's not about over 150 people losing their lives or who knows how many people's homes being destroyed. No, it's about the outside chance that the hurricane helped boost President Obama to an election victory over Mutt Romney. Excuse me, Mutt, but you should have said, "I wish the hurricane hadn't have happened at all."

Romney wonders why he lost the election? It's because of statements like that - showing that he's truly out-of-touch with the majority of people in this country, that he doesn't care about the lower- or middle-class of Americans, and that he has less emotion and empathy than a robot named Indifference.

While Romney's at it, why not make the following statements?

- "Hurricane Katrina just didn't happen at the right time."

- "9/11 didn't come at the right time."

- "I wish the 2012 presidential election hadn't have happened when it did."

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!"
