Douche of the Century: Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore

Think I'm overreaching a bit with the title of this post? Sure, I've handed out awards for the Douche of the Day and the Douche of the Week, even the Douche of the Year, but not until today have I had an opportunity to award a person as Douche of the Century. After explaining to you what this person said, however, I'd like to believe your eyes will widen, jaw will drop, and you'll think, "Holy sh*t! He really is the douche of the century!"

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has always been a ardent opponent of gay marriage rights, but for as ridiculous as he's sounded in the past when it comes to LGBT issues, he really outdid even himself with what he said in a recent interview with AL.com.

When Chief Justice Moore was asked if he'd enforce the Supreme Court's decision in legalizing marriage for gay and lesbian couples nationwide, here's how Moore responded:

"Could I do this if I were in Nuremberg [at the war crimes trials after World War II], say that I was following the orders of the highest authority to kill Jews? ... Could I say I was ordered to do so?"

The AL.com reporter responded by reminding Moore the Nuremberg trials were with regard to "killing human beings, not gay marriage."

Chief Justice Moore then said, "Is there a difference?"

That's right, ladies and gentlemen; Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore compared marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples to the Holocaust, even going so far as to say there wasn't any difference between the two. What's the difference between 6 million Jews being killed during the Holocaust and gay and lesbian couples marrying in the United States? Nothing at all, says Roy Moore, who is well deserving of my Douche of the Century award! Congratulations!

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...
