"What's the address of the White House?" Sarah Palin would see as a "gotcha question..."

At the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. last week, former Vice Presidential candidate and politician voted least likely to know the capital city of her own home state - Sarah Palin - gave a speech which yet again showed how lacking she is when it comes to remembering history, geography, specifics, well, pretty much anything. In this speech, she said:

"Don't retreat. You reload with truth, which I know is an endangered species at 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue, anyway, truth...the media's favorite president. He just can't stop telling lies..."

I wonder who resides at 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue, because it's not President Barack Obama. The White House has been located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since the 1800s. It's rather ironic that Ms. Palin told people to "reload with truth" before unintentionally misstating the address of the White House. As Rick Perry would say, "Oops..."

Due to this rather embarrassing slip-up, I have to believe the former Alaska Governor will make the following statements at some point in the future:

- "Did you notice that right when Barack Obama got settled in as president in this great nation's capital of Washington State, our country started going downhill? That can't be a coincidence!"

- "Whenever President Obama sits at the Rectangle Office, I get nervous, and you all should too! You betcha!"

- "This presidency is a crisis! It's such an emergency that we impeach him, I'm about to call 8-1-1 right now!"

- "If I were Santa Claus, I'd fill President Obama's stocking with coal in the Grey House!"

- "I can see 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue from my own house!"

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!"
