Fox News' All-American New Year's Eve Special!

As I was flipping through the channels while the countdowns were nearing zeroes on New Year's Eve, I couldn't help but notice something different about Fox News. On just about every other channel, on a bottom corner of the screen, it read, "New Year's Eve Bash" or "New Year's Eve Party." But, no, not Fox News. They decided to go a different direction. On the bottom right corner of their screen read the words, "All-American New Year's Eve Special." Yes, Fox News is special all right...

Were the parties in Los Angeles and New York City not American enough for Fox News? Have they looked at a map in recent years? A globe? Anything where the two heaviest populated cities in the country could be spotted? Do they simply believe that adding "America" or "American" to anything deems one more patriotic than another? Are they the "real" Americans as opposed to all other networks? Yeah, like I said, Fox News certainly is "shpeshal." Due to what I observed on the network on New Year's Eve, I wouldn't be surprised to see the following labels or titles showcase by the channel in the coming year:

- "We Have a Dream to Stop Celebrating MILK Day or Whatever It's Called"

- "Have a Red, White, and Blue Valentine's Day - Red for love, White for the people of this country, and Blue for the singles"

- "Happy Independence Day to the Greatest Country in the History of the Country of the World of the Universe and Beyond"

- "Thanking God, Pilgrims, and Natives for Thanksgiving"

- "Merry Christmas to All Americans Who Are Christian and Will Be Going to Heaven"

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!"
