Debbie Dunnegan Waters claims she didn't say what she actually said...

Debbie Dunnegan Waters, Jefferson County Recorder of Deeds (Missouri), and yes, a Republican, recently posted this message on her Facebook page:

"I have a question for all my friends who have served or are currently serving in our military ... have not put on a uniform nor taken any type military oath, there has to be something that I am just not aware of. But I cannot and do not understand why no action is being taken against our domestic enemy. I know he is supposedly the commander in chief, but the constitution gives you the authority. What am I missing? Thank you for your bravery and may God keep you safe."

After receiving the inevitable backlash for posting this message, Ms. Dunnegan Waters said this in a telephone interview on St. Louis Public Radio:

"I'm not calling the president a domestic enemy. I'm not calling the president anything. He is the president. Do I agree with what the president is doing? Absolutely not. Anybody that asks me, I'll be happy to tell you that."

She also tweeted this message: "The rest choose to hate me w/o cause. Judge me on half truth and spins."

Finally, she told the Post-Dispatch that, "Something innocent and simple got twisted into a disaster because it's an election."

Let's back up a moment here. Ms. Dunnegan Waters, would you please repeat the third and fourth lines of your Facebook message, starting with, "But I cannot..."?

"But I cannot and do not understand why no action is being taken against our domestic enemy. I know he is supposedly the commander in chief, but the constitution gives you the authority."

Okay then... ...and who is the Commander-in-Chief?

"President Barack Obama"

What does the "he," with regard to the Commander-in-Chief, represent in the previous sentence?

"Our domestic enemy"

In other words, our Commander-in-Chief, President Barack Obama, is our domestic enemy? Is that what you're saying, Ms. Dunnegan Waters? Please respond with your quote from the telephone interview on St. Louis Public Radio.

"I'm not calling the president a domestic enemy. I'm not calling the president anything. He is the president. Do I agree with what the president is doing? Absolutely not. Anybody that asks me, I'll be happy to tell you that."

So, you referred to the president as our domestic enemy, yet you didn't? Interesting... Is there anything you'd like to add?

"Something innocent and simple got twisted into a disaster because it's an election."

Twisting what you said by repeating what you said? Fascinating... Anything else?

"The rest choose to hate me w/o cause. Judge me on half truth and spins."

Even though it's been documented that you referred to the president as our "domestic enemy" and asked why no violent action has been taken against him? Who's providing the half-truths and spins again? Those in the media reporting the documented information, or the person trying to dismiss and hide from that documented information?

Ah, Debbie Dunnegan Waters, just another far-right politician blaming the "liberal" media for factually reporting her crazy thoughts. Maybe Stephen Colbert was right when he said, "Facts are liberally biased."

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...
