No offense, Glenn Beck, but you're a tool...

Glenn Beck is at it again - spreading stupidity, I mean, conspiracies (there's often times a thin line between the two).

It appears as if Beck believes the government might be lying about Secretary of State John Kerry's wife (Teresa Heinz Kerry) being recently hospitalized. Beck has criticized Kerry for allegedly being on his boat in Nantucket while the chaos in Egypt unfolded last week.

The State Department responded to the photographs showing Kerry on his boat by saying the following:

"While he (Kerry) was briefly on his boat on Wednesday, Secretary Kerry worked around the clock all day including participating in the President's meeting with his national security council."

Beck then responded to both this and the news about Kerry's wife in this manner:

"Instead of telling you the truth, [the government] says [Kerry] is definitely not on his boat. Until the pictures actually show up and then, 'Okay, he was on his boat.' And you expect me to believe that Mrs. Ketchup is in critical condition? I mean no offense, maybe she is."

Oh, no offense taken. A woman's life was in jeopardy, Beck insinuates her health situation was fabricated, yet then immediately says that he doesn't mean offense.

Segueing from that, I have to imagine Beck will utter the following lines at some point in his life (if he hasn't already):

- "You expect me to believe their 20-year old dog died? I mean, no offense or anything, but still..."

- "You expect me to believe a straight dude got AIDS from having lots of unprotected sex with lots of women? No offense, but give me a break!"

- "You expect me to believe that people actually listen to and believe what I say? No offense, but are people really that stupid?"

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!"
