"We just want to leave a better life for our kids than we were left with." - Eh, no you don't...

It kind of cracks me up to hear so many far-right conservatives say something along the following lines in the run up to the midterm elections:

"We just want to leave a better life for our kids and future generations than we were left with, and we'll do everything in our power to achieve that."

Say what? The GOP seriously wants us to believe they care about future generations? Based on their voting records and talking points, this is how such ads should probably run:

"We just want to leave a better life for our kids and future generations than we were left with, and we'll do everything in our power to achieve that. From not taking action on global warming and leaving future generations more apt to being victims of severe flooding and other disastrous weather, to not passing more gun restrictions to lessen the chance of firearms getting into the hands of dangerous individuals, it's really all about keeping the kids safe in their future. From decreasing funding for schools and decreasing the effectiveness of them in the process, to increasing tuition costs for colleges and leaving youngsters less likely to attend them, what we're about is improving these children's education and futures. From decreasing taxes for billionaires and providing them more loopholes than we can count, to believing the trickle-down effect works and expanding the pay gap more than at any point since the Great Depression, we want the kids to know we've got their backs on their futures, so long as they come from wealthy families. From not believing in universal healthcare, to believing we have the best healthcare system in the world even though it's been proven otherwise through studies, especially when it comes to costs, it seems pretty obvious we've got the kids' futures and well-being in mind here. From not believing women should be paid equally for equal work and shouldn't be afforded the right to an abortion if they're raped, to thinking gays should not be able to wed the ones they love, even if they've been together for 30 years, we think we've proven we want what's best for our daughters and also for young gay people's futures. Through all this and believing we should make it harder for young people to vote, we still want them to go overseas and fight the battles we deem necessary, to sacrifice themselves for the sake of our big egos and aging limp d*cks, and if this doesn't prove we simply want to leave a better life for our kids and future generations, we don't know what will. This is the Republican Party and we approve this message."

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!"
