Hillary Clinton meme in poor taste

I stumbled upon this Hillary Clinton meme on Facebook and thought it was in poor taste: 


I admit I thought the bits about "a rattlesnake with a 'pet me' sign," "a prostate exam from Captain Hook," and to a lesser extent, "Emails from a Nigerian Princess" and "gas station sushi," were humorous, I was taken aback by the references to Ray Rice and Bill Cosby. It's one thing for those whom despise Hillary Clinton to say they don't trust her to lead this country; it's quite another to say they'd trust a man caught on camera punching his girlfriend and a man accused of drugging and raping many women more than former Secretary of State Clinton. That comparison is in incredibly poor taste, especially considering the fact Hillary Clinton is a woman, and every one of Ray Rice and Bill Cosby's alleged victims were women. I may not trust Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, or Marco Rubio to lead this country, but I'm also not going to compare them to Ray Rice in an elevator or Bill Cosby as a bartender.

As a side-note, I found the mentions of "Mexican tap water," "a Jimmy Carter economic plan," and "Brian Williams news reports" unintentionally humorous as well. When reading that, I had to laugh and think, "You mean, Flint tap water (thanks to Republican Governor Rick Snyder), George W. Bush's economic plan, and Fox News reports, right?"

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!"
