Ron Burgundy + Biff Tannen + The Dude = Donald Trump

Is it just me or does Donald Trump come across as a hybrid of the cinema characters Ron Burgundy (from Anchorman), Biff Tannen (from Back to the Future), and The Dude (from The Big Lebowski)? Like Burgundy, it appears as though Trump will read anything that's placed in front of him. Like Biff, The Donald seems to believe he can bully anyone into getting his way. Lastly, like The Dude, the president comes across as a man without the largest vocabulary in the world, often repeating himself time and time again. Allow me to test that theory by writing a Trump speech using only quotes from the three before-mentioned characters. We'll see how this goes...

Donald Trump: "I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I was one of the original authors of the Port Huron Declaration. Not the compromised second draft... Don't act like you're not impressed. What are you looking at, butthead? Look at him. He's a butthead just like his old man was. Since you're new here, I-I'm gonna cut you a break, today. So, why don't you make like a tree and get outta here? By the way, do you think that you could give me that $20,000 in cash? My concern is, and I have to, uh, check with my accountant, that this might bump me into a higher, uh, tax... Alright, alright, I've got four dollars, almost five... Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine. Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science. Oddly enough I'm full blown 100% Mexican. Straight out of the state of Oaxaca. Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina. For just one night let's not be Co-workers. Let's be Co-people. Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era. Don't just have a great night, have an *American* night."

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!"
