Rick Perry with another "oops" moment...

The Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry, has never been coy about making ridiculously stupid comments. Here are just a few of his greatest hits:

- "From my own personal life, abstinence works."

- "It's (Evolution) a theory that's out there. It's got some gaps in it."

- "Juarez (Mexico) is reported to be the most dangerous city in America."

- "Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote."

- I will tell you: It's three agencies of government, when I get there, that are gone: Commerce, Education and the- what's the third one there? Let's see.... OK. So Commerce, Education and the- I can't. The third one, I can't. Sorry. Oops."

Speaking at an Axios/NBC News event, Perry had himself another "oops" moment, when he said this:

"[Electricity is important] from the standpoint of sexual assault. When the lights are on, when you have light that shines the righteousness, if you will, those types of acts. [From the standpoint] of how you really affect people's lives, fossil fuels ... play a role in that. I happen to think it's going to play a positive role."

That's right, ladies and gentlemen; Rick Perry thinks the solution to decreasing cases of sexual assault is fossil fuels. With that kind of logic, expect him to utter the following lines at some point (if he hasn't already):

- "Suicide is a big problem. I don't like suicide, not one bit. It's, uh, bad. So, I want to do something about it and think I've found the answer. Litter. If people start throwing trash away outside, they'll be less likely to throw their lives away inside, outside, or whatever."

- "If we want to stop rape in this country, I've got three words for you: Star Wars. If we learn about the force, we won't be forcing ourselves on others. That's just common sense, people."

- "I have an interesting idea on how to stop abuse. Buses. If we destroy all of the buses, abuse just won't happen, because you can't spell 'abuse' without 'bus.'"

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...
