"Isn't it ironic?" Senator Rubio, I'm talking to you...

Following the recent Donald Trump rallies which have resulted in one cancellation and potential multiple criminal charges (against both Trump supporters and protesters), Florida Senator Marco Rubio, while laying some of the blame on the GOP frontrunner's rhetoric, as well as the protesters, also claimed that President Obama is partially to blame. He's not the first Republican politician to suggest this, for many have come forward and laid claim that Obama is the most divisive president in this country's history - some even blaming him for the rise of Donald Trump. I'm sorry, but the GOP calling President Obama divisive is so ironic Alanis Morissette is currently rewriting her hit song to reflect Rubio and many other GOPers' sentiments on the subject.

Republican politicians can believe all they'd like that President Obama is divisive, but let's look back at Obama's tenure before casting him as such, shall we?

- When he was elected in 2008, the GOP said their #1 goal was to make Barack Obama a one-term president.

- Many in the GOP continually cast the president as a foreigner, as not "one of us," some even going so far as to suggest he wasn't born in the United States and is leading the country illegally due to that.

- The GOP spread constant lies, and with that fear, about the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) after its passing.

- The GOP shut down the federal government for 2+ weeks, trying to repeal Obamacare, without offering any plausible suggestions to replace it of their own.

- The GOP's #1 goal for President Obama's second term was to make him a lame-duck/failed president.

- While President Obama has attempted to take a balanced approach to the police brutality debate, the GOP has tended to go the George W. Bush false-dilemmic route, saying, "You're either with the cops or you're against them!"

- The GOP has painted President Obama as a terrorist-sympathizer because he doesn't tend to take the war-first-ask-questions-later approach.

- The GOP has obstructed Obama when it comes to his judge appointees at every level.

- While President Obama has attempted to present America as a welcoming country across all demographics, the current GOP presidential frontrunner has proposed that we build a wall along our southern border and ban Muslims from entering this country.

So, Marco, even though you and your party have constantly tried to: Obstruct President Obama's policies and appointees, lie about him, question his citizenship, paint him as an extremist even when the evidence suggests otherwise, with your main intent being to make him a one-term or failed president, you're claiming that he's the divisive one? Once again, Isn't that ironic? I'd add, "Don't you think?" but I have a feeling I already know the answer to that question...

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!"
