GOP candidates take classes on how to talk to women

If there's one thing we learned from the 2012 elections, it's that many male Republican candidates appear to have difficulty talking to or about women in a respectful manner.

Todd Akin - "If it's a legitimate rape..."

Richard Mourdock - "[Children via rape] are a gift from God."

Those are just two of the many examples of male Republican candidates failing the class Smooth-Talking Women 101.

In light of all these troubles, the National Republican Congressional Committee is offering tutorials to male staffers and candidates on how to better talk to and about women in a respectful manner in preparation for the 2014 elections.

In light of this bit of news, I thought I'd attempt to provide some assistance to these Republican staffers and candidates.

- When the topic of abortion comes up, simply say, "I don't have a giant hole down there, so I'm not sure I should be answering that question. You all know how I feel about this, but I'm going to remain silent on it from this point forward, just like a woman should when having a baby. Okay, this silence will be starting...now..."

- If you ever accidentally utter the word "rape" and find yourself tempted of saying it's okay in certain circumstances, either slam your right fist down and say, "Rapists should all burn in hell!" or attempt to divert attention away from the slippage of that word and start talking about your love for Jesus. Amen.

- Even if you don't support equal-pay for women, when that topic surfaces, simply say, "Look, work is like sex. In my time, it's the man that does all the work in bed and the woman just lays there. Why should the woman get paid as much as a man just for laying there while he's busy plugging the hole?" Okay, I'm just joshing. What you should really say is, "I support hard-working Americans, no matter what the gender! Male, female, shemale, gays, and even lesbians! Those are all different genders, right? Okay then!"

- When speaking to a woman, make certain to look into or at least near her eyes, even if she's a foot shorter or taller than you. If she's extremely attractive, attempt to look just to the left or right of her face so that you don't receive too many dirty thoughts and ask if she wants to get a room with you at a Holiday Inn after the debate. Women are typically good at picking up on these tricks, so perhaps alternate looking in the direction of her face and looking down, as if you're deep in thought or you're reading notecards which aren't actually there. If she later asks why you were looking down after she observes there were no notecards, just say, "Your beauty distracted me and I was just making sure my boner wasn't too obvious. It wasn't, was it?" That or you could just nod, smile, and continually say things such as: "Okay," "Alright then," "Will do," "Uh-huh," "Sure," "Certainly," and "Far out, man."

- Also, please keep in mind that women actually work now, go to college, earn money, support themselves, and are continuing to improve both educationally and financially. So, never make a statement which starts with, "When I was growing up, women...," because that won't end well. Other phrases to avoid include: "Women belong in the...," "Women are only good at...," "Women are just...," "Women's hormones are...," and "Women be b*tches and hos."

There you have it, Republican staffers and candidates. If you follow these guidelines, you shall be well on your way to not offending 95% of women in this country! Best of luck, and please remember, if you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say anything at all. Thanks.

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...
