About that Obama and Beyonce rumor...

I usually don't like to post about crazy rumors, but thought I could have a little fun with this one, so I thought I'd make this an exception to the rule.

Yesterday, French paparazzo Pascal Rostain claimed that the Washington Post would post a story today about President Barack Obama having an affair with pop star Beyonce. In a story published by the French newspaper Le Figaro, he said the following:

"You know, at this time, in the United States, there is something big that is happening. It'll go out tomorrow in the Washington Post - we can say that it is not the gutter press - an alleged affair between President Barack Obama and Beyonce."

Rostain then attempted to elaborate upon his belief with this:

"First, there are still or television images of the Obama couple becoming a little distant. It is legitimate to ask questions. We found the same thing, always through images, between [French President] Hollande and [his partner Valerie Trierweiler]. Afterwards, there was the rumor. Same for Obama and Beyonce, for example. Just because it's a rumor doesn't mean that one should not go in the field to check. We should not forget Marilyn [Monroe] or Monica Lewinsky."

A spokesperson for the Washington Post has since sent an email to Poynter.com, saying, "It's definitely not true."

Even if the rumor is false, as the Washington Post alleges, let's pretend for a moment that it's true. I have to imagine the thought processes of the three presidents Mr. Rostain mentioned would go a little something like this (while adding a make-believe affair for George W. Bush as well):

President John F. Kennedy: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Okay, I want you to find me someone who epitomizes the word sexy and bring her to me. I want to do the deed with her if she'll let me. Who am I kidding? Of course she will. I'm J F - frickin' K!"


President Barack Obama: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Alright. What I'm about to ask you isn't anything I'm proud of, but I'm frustrated with Congress right now and want you to find me the most beautiful woman in the world and bring her to me so I can release some of that frustration doggystyle, or any other style she prefers. Thank you."


President Bill Clinton: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Do you see a woman? No? Where the hell are you? The first woman you spot, bring her to me. See one now? She's not my type? They're all my type right now! Little Billy is lonely and needs some company!"


President George W. Bush: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Uh, I'm with someone right now and she's not my wife. What do I do? Yeah, our clothes are off. I've got some weird rubbery thing in my other hand right now which I'm thinking about making into a balloon animal. I shouldn't do that? Crap! So now what? I put what in where? Are you sure? Alright, if you say so. Before you go, could you bring me any of that Viva Las Vegas stuff? Oh, Viagra? Yeah, that. Cinnamon says I could probably use some. 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

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!"
