GOP provides a gay marriage-gun violence link

Following the seemingly countless mass shootings and President Obama's call to strengthen the nation's gun laws, the Republican Party, led by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, has come out with an answer to gun violence. Earlier today, Huckabee led the effort by providing the following video clip on his campaign website:

"As you all know, I'm a very devoted Christian man. I firmly believe the Bible is the ultimate source of truth. I'm also a firm believer in the Constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment. When I'm having a great day, I'm usually holding a rifle in one hand and a Bible in the other. Even though I'm a lover of guns and Jesus probably wasn't much of a sportsman, the thing Jesus loved yet despised even more than guns was gay people. In Leviticus, Jesus even said, 'Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,' and this brings me to the real answer, the real reason why we're seeing so many of these mass shootings. It's because this country has embraced the homosexual lifestyle, and same-sex marriage in particular. Even though these shootings happened long before the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage, making it legal nationwide, it's because of this very ruling these shootings are happening now. ...and don't give me any of that nonsense that guns are actually shooting and killing people. When someone gets shot and killed by a gun, it's not the bullet from the gun that ultimately kills the person; it's the fact Adam and Steve can now legally be married, God is angry, and being the benevolent creator he is, wants someone to get shot and killed for it. I'm telling you, unless we overturn the Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage, we're going to continue to see these mass shootings. Guns don't kill people; Adam and Steve kill people!"

In response, the Human Rights Campaign released this statement:

"Devastating storms are caused by homosexuality, not global warming, and gun violence is caused by same-sex marriage and not guns? God sure granted the LGBT community with a great deal of power, didn't he? With that kind of logic, Wendy Davis' three divorces were the fault of the LGBT community, as was the case of Mike Huckabee's son killing a dog. Perhaps the outspoken candidate should rephrase his bumper-sticker slogan from 'Guns don't kill people; Adam and Steve kill people!' to 'David Huckabee doesn't kill dogs; wait, I guess he does.'"

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...
