Ohio group wants to buy George Zimmerman a gun. Why not buy O.J. Simpson a knife while they're at it?

A strange development has come about courtesy of the Buckeye Firearms Foundation in light of the U.S. Department of Justice asking police to "keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial," in all likelihood, so a federal investigation can take place on the matter.

The Ohio gun group had an interesting response to these events, as they made the following statement:

"The move to prevent Mr. Zimmerman from claiming his property is an unacceptable abuse of power. And the threats of federal charges on civil rights grounds is little more than blatant pandering for political gain.

Moreover, based on statements he and others have made recently, Holder hopes to use this as the first step toward renewing this administration's attack on gun rights... George Zimmerman has every right to get his property back.

And if Eric Holder chooses to deny Mr. Zimmerman that right, Buckeye Firearms Foundation will remedy the matter by purchasing a NEW FIREARM for him, including a holster, flashlight, and any other gear he wants."

Isn't that nice? A man follows an unarmed teenager, and shoots and kills him after the two get into a confrontation. He's found not guilty of second-degree murder charges, largely due to the "stand your ground" law in the state of Florida. So, what does the pro-gun rights group do? Buy him a new gun! Woo-hoo! Kobe Bryant was found not guilty of rape, but he didn't seem to be completely innocent. Why doesn't a group buy him some condoms and sex toys in light of the ruling? O.J. Simpson was found not guilty on murder charges. How about buying that guy a few knives?

I can just hear Buckeye Firearms Foundation running the following ad at some point in the not-too-distant future:

"We're Buckeye Firearms Foundation and do you know what we say about the law? Screw it! If you get into a car accident while intoxicated and have your license revoked, we'll provide you a fake ID and buy you a new car! Bash someone's head in with a baseball bat? No problem. We'll give you a bat signed by your favorite team! Shoot a bunch of people at the mall because you've had a bad month? Well, why punish the innocent gun by taking it away from you? Never fear - we'll give you another! The saying goes, 'Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." But we here at Buckeye Firearms Foundation say, 'If you do the crime, we'll spot you millions of dimes - in the shape of a gun.' You're welcome, America! We're Buckeye Firearms Foundation and we proudly approve this message, disapprove of the law, and disapprove of common sense.'"

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!"
