According to Joni Ernst, bread bags aren't just made for walking...

With the recent debate regarding mandatory vaccinations for our children in light of a measles outbreak, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst thought she'd offer some insight of her own on the matter, taking the conversation in an entirely different direction when she told me this:

"While some of my Republican brothers and sisters in Washington and elsewhere, as well as some of those liberal hippiesters people out in California, have declared that it should be up to the parents whether to vaccinate their kids or not, and the president and many other Democrats have said that these vaccinations should be required, I'd like to pose a different option to perhaps bring both parties together - bread bags. Bread bags are kind of like duct tape or Windex from that Geek Wedding movie - they can be used for literally, I mean virtually, no, literally anything. I used to walk and run marathons in those things. It's like Nancy Sinatra sang that one time, 'Bread bags are made for walking,' you know? I also use bread bags as gardening gloves, a stylish hat when I decide to go out, boxing gloves when I workout, a pillow to sleep on at night, or an ice pack for my knees. But not only can they be used for all of these things, I think they can replace vaccines as a way of doing away with measles! They can do everything else, so why not, right? All you have to do is, while wearing bread bags on your hands, feet, and head, you take a needle and inject a piece of a bread bag in one of your veins. If you do this once a day for I don't know how long, then I seriously think we can defeat measles once and for all!"

When asked if she knew any other Nancy Sinatra songs, Ernst shook her head, but said, "I was never big into Frank Sinatra. The one song of his I could never stand was 'Bread Bags in New York.' Elitist New Yorkers just think their bread bags are so special. Iowa and other places like it are where the real bread bags are at!"

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...
