Rand Paul: "If I were a journalism teacher..."

Kentucky Senator and inventor of the ever-so-popular hairdo pubehead - Rand Paul - has decided to lash out on the members of the media whom reported two separated cases of plagiarism by the Senator.

In an interview with National Review's Robert Costa, Paul said the following:

"What makes me mad about the whole thing is that I believe there is a difference between errors of omission and errors of intention. We aren't perfect and we have made errors of omission, but we never intended to mislead anybody.

I'm being criticized for not having proper attribution, and yet they are able to write stuff that if I were their journalism teacher in college, I would fail them."

Did Rand Plagiarism Paul really just pull out the if-I-were-their-journalism-teacher-in-college card?

If Rand Paul were a journalism teacher in college, he'd say:

- "Remember, class - sources are for sissies!"

- "Never bastardize the word plagiarize, because to plagiarize is to be a true journal-ize-ist!"

- "Jesus may not have talked about this in the Bible, but Wikipedia is kind of like the Bible of research."

Yeah, if Rand Paul were a journalism teacher in college, actual journalists would start referring to themselves as the anti-journalists.

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...
