Fox News' new game Three Degrees of Benghazi

Heard of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, where people try to connect an actor with Kevin Bacon in six or fewer steps? It appears as if Fox News has been playing a condensed version of that game with regard to President Obama and Benghazi. I call it the Three Degrees of Benghazi. Here are just a few examples:

Starting point: "Syria may have used chemical weapons against its own people."

Fox News' next move: "Obama is looking very weak as a leader during this whole thing."

Fox News' closer: "He's obviously doing this so people forget about his weak leadership during Benghazi!"


Starting point: "A shooting rampage occurred in Washington, D.C. earlier today."

Fox News' next move: "At last check, 12 people were killed."

Fox News' closer: "That is only eight more than were killed in the most brutal attack on American non-American soil - Benghazi!"


Starting point: "It's another record-breaking day heat wise across the nation today."

Fox News' next move: "Obama's talking about global warming again."

Fox News' closer: "If he thinks global warming is hot, that's nowhere near as hot as the seat he'll be on when reporters are asking him about Benghazi!"


Starting point: "Obamacare is about to be fully implemented."

Fox News' next move: "You know what that means? Free safe sex for everyone!"

Fox News' closer: "Speaking of penetration - Benghazi - and the way that attack penetrated our hearts."


Starting point: "There's President Obama greeting the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens yesterday."

Fox News' next move: "They all look so happy, but chances are there are some Ravens who aren't very happy with the president right now."

Fox News' closer: "That's right, and do you know why? The Ravens are from Baltimore. The first letter of Baltimore is 'B,' just like Benghazi."

...and so it goes... I swear, if people played the Benghazi drinking game while watching Fox News, where every time a person on Fox uttered the word Benghazi, he or she had to do a shot, everyone would be passed out within 5 minutes.

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!"
