The Lazy American

Americans crack me up sometimes. There are times I envision this entire country as part of a reality television series filmed on another planet. I especially love how some people speak so angrily about the government, yet don't find time to make their voices heard outside of the dinner table. Why? They'd rather be lazy - watch their favorite shows, eat their favorite snacks, while laying on their favorite couch, wearing their favorite pair of jeans unbuttoned.

When envisioning these people, I picture the following conversation:

Paul Whineman: "That stupid son of a b**ch, Obama! I hate him! He's a horrible president and should be impeached! He has no business being leader of this country! He's ruining this country! This great country is ruined because of Obama!"

Karen Don-Whineman: "I know, honey."

Paul: "I don't know that you do! I don't know that a lot of people do! Because of Obama, our freedoms are gone! We can't speak freely anymore! We can't buy guns anymore! We can't practice religion anymore! This country is over! I'm so fed up, I could... I could..."

Karen: "You could what, honey? Why don't you do something about it?"

Paul: "I am doing something about it! I am talking to you, aren't I? Oh, wait, The Bachelor is on now. Hon, could you grab me a six-pack of beer, some Cheetos, Pringles, and a few pieces of pizza? Thanks."

Karen: "Before I do that, let me ask you again - why don't you do something about it? Why don't you get involved and make your voice heard?"

Paul: "Huh?"

Karen: "Oh, nothing. I'll go get your food and beer."

Paul: "Thanks, babe. I love this show."

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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
