Perry compares homosexuality to alcoholism

A week ago today, Texas Governor Rick Perry made an appearance in San Francisco, and answered a question regarding homosexuality with this:

"Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that. I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way."

A person doing several shots of liquor every night and attempting to drive home drunk? Someone who is sexually attracted to and loves another of the same gender? Yeah, that's exactly the same thing!

Setting: A gay man gets pulled over by a cop late at night

 Francois Shaftacular: "Is there a problem, officer?"

Officer Richard Head: "License and registration please..."

Francois: "I don't think I was speeding. Is one of my break-lights out or something?"

Officer Dick: "I've heard about you, Fran, Fran, Franny - whatever the hell your name is..."

Francois: "That's Francois, sir."

Dick: "Look, kid - we can't have your kind driving out here at night. Not only are you a risk to yourself, but you're a risk to every other driver!"

Francois: "What? I'm confused. I wasn't drinking or anything."

Dick: "Don't deny it, buddy. The whole town knows. You're one of them gays, and as far as I see it, you're just as dangerous on the road as someone who's pounded down sixty-nine buttery nipple shots."

Francois: "Is this a joke?"

Dick: "What? You think this is funny or something, Frankie?"

Francois: "No, of course not, and it's Francois."

Dick: "Good! Because it's not funny! When you're driving out here at night, you spread those queer vibes all across this town, and if you keep doing it, we'll have an AIDS epidemic on our hands here. I don't know about you, but I don't want no AIDS - you got that?!?"

Francois: "How can I give you AIDS from driving?"

Dick: "That's not important. What is important is that you take this license and registration back, take this as a very stern warning, go back home, and never drive in this town again!"

Francois: "But, that's not fair!"

Dick: "Hush up! Now, I'll be watching you, Fernando! In fact, just to make sure you go right back home, I'm going to ride your butt all the way back there! How does that sound?"

Francois: "Well, honestly, you're not really my type... I mean, uh, yeah, sure. Thanks, officer...."

Dick: "Head. Richard Head. Most people who get to know me call me Dick."

Francois: "I understand completely. Well, goodnight."

Yeah, they're the same thing. As you were saying, Governor Perry...

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!"
