South Carolina Sheriff compares the NAACP to the KKK

Approximately five out of four times I hear someone attempt to make a comparison publicly known via the media, they fail miserably, yes, at both comparisons and fractions. Just the latest example comes courtesy of Spartanburg County, South Carolina Sheriff Chuck Wright, who said the following at a Greenville-Spartanburg Republican Women's meeting on April 7th:

"I think the most racist people in America right now sometimes are minorities, small group minorities. I've got a chaplain who works for me. He's an African-American, he is my brother and I love him more than anything. He doesn't buy into that mess. A bunch of his friends don't either. They don't do the NAACP because I feel like that is a racist group as well as the KKK. I don't care about them either."

Yes, the Spartanburg County sheriff compared the NAACP to the KKK. Let's get something straight here, the NAACP stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They're a group which continually fights for minorities' rights in order to gain equality across the board. The KKK, or the Ku Klux Klan, does anything but fight for the equality of minorities. If the KKK wanted to go by a similar name as the NAACP, they'd likely be called the NARCP, or the National Association for the Regression of Colored People. It appears as though Sheriff Wright confused antonyms for synonyms. While he's at it, he might as well utter the following lines:

- "If someone asks me, 'Living or dead?' I respond with, 'What's the difference?' because there is none."

- "You know what I get mixed up all the time? Bowling balls and frisbees. Have you ever thrown a bowling ball like a frisbee? It's a thing of beauty, I tell ya."

- "Have you ever seen the movie Twins? That's what slaves and slaveowners were like - the same, but not identical."

- "Whenever I have the radio on and I hear a particular song, I can never tell if it's Kenny G or Metallica. I swear they ripped off each other like all the time!"

- "I might be in the minority on this one, but during the Holocaust, them Nazis and Jews had a lot in common when you really think about it."

Yeah, following that trend, Spartanburg County, South Carolina Sheriff Chuck Wright is brilliant in every sense of the word...

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...
