According to Fox News, America is like totally awesome, man

Just the other day, I thought to myself (I do this often), "I haven't written about Fox News in a while. That's kind of weird." Fortunately, a lovely Fox News story just fell into my lap today, so hopefully I'll be able to get over this case of PFAFNWS (Poking Fun At Fox News Withdrawal Syndrome).

After the gruesome torture report got released this past week, Fox News' own Andrea Tantaros had this to say about the matter:

"The United States of America is awesome. We are awesome. We've closed the book on [torture], and we've stopped doing it. And the reason they want to have this discussion is not to show how awesome we are. This administration wants to have this discussion to show us how we're not awesome."

When I first heard this, the theme song from The Lego Movie immediately started playing in my mind - "Everything is awesome!"

Speaking of something playing in my mind, here's Ms. Tantaros' extended, never heard before quote about America's awesomeness:

"America is like awesome, I mean, like, so very awesome. It's so awesome, awesome doesn't even really describe just how awesome it is, you know? I mean, like, the Obama people and liberals will talk about things that aren't awesome with America like we're not awesome, but we still so are, and I mean, I don't want to hear about these not awesome things, because whether or not we did these un-awesome things, we're still awesome, and if I don't hear about these less than awesome things, I won't have to ever pause and think, 'Gee, maybe we weren't awesome that day.' I mean, slavery? Who wants to talk about that? Like, no one. So, guess what? We're still awesome! Obama and his liberals just need to shut up about things that aren't awesome about America, like there are such things! I mean, what do they get out of that? Learning from these things or something? Come on... If we had just told people how awesome we were during the times of slavery and before women got the right to vote, we'd still probably have slavery, women still wouldn't be allowed to vote, but we'd still be awesome! It's like every doctor person will tell you, 'The first step to like solving a problem is denying it exists and saying you're awesome.' As a matter of fact, you know that Lego movie or whatever? Isn't that song something like, 'Everything is awesome,' or, like, yeah, sure, whatevs? We should like totally make the National Anthem that song! Except, it would be called 'America is Awesome.' I think that may be like the best, most awesome idea ever, because America is awesome, and, like yeah, and stuff."

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...
