Having fun with Joe Biden's gaffes, I mean, honesty (okay, they're kind of one and the same...)

While I honestly couldn't see him ever becoming president, I personally like Vice President Joe Biden. The guy wears his heart on his sleeve (not literally, of course), comes across as kind of an every-man, and for both good and bad, seems to always say what's on his mind and mean what he says. This has gotten him into trouble on a number of occasions. Yes, if he became president for a couple of terms, we'd likely wind up seeing just as many Bidenism books on the shelves as Bushism books (or close to as many).

Here are just a few of Biden's gaffes:

- "If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong." - speaking to members of the House Democratic caucus gathered in Williamsburg, Virginia, on February 6th of 2009

- "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." - speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, on September 10th of 2008

- "This is a big f**king deal!" - caught on an open mic when congratulating President Obama during the Affordable Care Act signing ceremony in Washington, D.C., on March 23rd of 2010

Yes, sometimes Joe Biden comes across as a drunken bar buddy of mine who can't help but utter lines which make half the people around him simultaneously shake their heads and laugh. Due to this trend of being overly honest and mixing words up here and there, I imagine in the following scenarios, Joe Biden would utter these lines:

Setting: At a wedding ceremony

Biden: "I don't care how old the groom is, he's not going to be needing a boner-pill tonight, trust me!"


Setting: At a funeral

Biden: "Why's it so dead in here today?"


Setting: At a gay pride parade

Biden: "How's it going? Need a macho man to help you out with that big pole you got there?"


Setting: At a Hooter's restaurant

Biden: "How big are the jugs here and how much do they cost?"


Setting: At a sermon

Biden: "I tell you, that Jesus was a big f**king deal!"

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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
