Ben Carson's middle name is officially Cray-Cray

Former neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins and current Fox News commentator Ben Carson recently made a speech in support of Oregon GOP Senate candidate Monica Wehby in Wilsonville, Oregon, and as usual, made some comments which brought Jesus close to saying, "What the fu..?" At this January 31st fundraiser, Carson said the following:

- "[One of the main goals of progressives is to] fundamentally change who we are. [Part of that entails] keeping a blanket of silence over the majority."

- "There comes a time when people with values simply have to stand up. Think about Nazi Germany. Most of those people did not believe in what Hitler was doing. But did they speak up? Did they stand up for what they believe in? They did not, and you saw what happened. And if you believe that same thing can't happen again, you're very wrong. But we're not going to let it happen."

Let me get this straight. It's progressives' goal to change "who we are" and place a blanket of silence over the majority in this country, and this is reminiscent of Hitler and Nazis in Germany during the Holocaust? Let's compare progressives' goals with conservative ones for a moment.

Progressives' goals
- To provide equal rights and opportunities for minorities

- To provide equal rights and opportunities for women

- To provide equal rights and opportunities for homosexuals

- To provide equal rights and opportunities for the non-religious and for the religious whom don't practice Christianity

- To both both conserve and improve the environment

- Etc.


Conservatives' goals
- To make it more difficult for minorities to vote (as well as women)

- To take away or severely limit women's reproductive rights

- To deny women equal pay for equal work

- To prohibit equal rights for homosexuals

- To see Christians as superior to all others

- Etc.


Who were you comparing to Hitler and Nazis again, Mr. Carson? Ah, that's right - Hitler and his minions were well known for wanting equal rights for all, including: Women, gays, and Jews.

Also, Mr. Carson may want to do some more research on the election process in this country, as well as mathematics.

"[Part of that entails] keeping a blanket of silence over the majority."

For the record, a majority voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and again in 2012. Not only that, but Democrats picked up seats in both the House and the Senate in 2012. Progressives aren't "keeping a blanket of silence over the majority." Progressives are the majority.

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!"
