Apparently, Rand Paul is a self-certified doctor. So am I...

When referring to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, some of his supporters like to say, "Trust him - he's a doctor!" First of all, I don't trust a person's political beliefs just because he or she is a doctor. Secondly, it appears as if Mr. Paul isn't certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology - the lone body which certifies "doctors" in his field. It has been around for about a century and has approximately 16,000 doctors on its rolls.

"Dr." Rand Paul is actually certified through the National Board of Ophthalmology, which has existed since 1999, when Mr. Paul founded it himself. This board lists no more than seven doctors, and is currently operated by him. Paul had previously stated that he had been certified by both boards.

I would now like to thank "Dr." Rand Paul for inspiring me to create the National Board of Awesomeology, where I will be certified as a doctor, and tell women everywhere that they can come to me, with their credit cards, if they're lacking "awesome" in their lives. I will then run for office and share this news with the world. From this point forward, I shall be known as Dr. Roz. Thanks again, Rand!

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...
