The Douche of the Week: Rick Santorum

Former U.S. Senator and current CNN talking blowhard, Rick Santorum, had a few words of advice for the anti-gun violence protesters who marched in this nation's capital over the weekend. He said:

"How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that... They took action to ask someone to pass a law. They didn't take action to say, 'How do I, as an individual, deal with this problem? How am I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community? What am I going to do to actually help respond to a shooter?' ... Those are the kind of things where you can take it internally, and say, 'Here's how I'm going to deal with this. Here's how I'm going to help the situation,' instead of going and protesting and saying, 'Oh, someone else needs to pass a law to protect me.'"

These comments are stupid on multiple levels. First off, why in the world do we elect people into Congress and the Oval Office in the first place? To twiddle their thumbs, nap, and work less than Elvis Presley has over the past couple of years? It's no wonder Santorum was defeated in his last Senatorial race. I'm surprised his slogan wasn't, "Vote for Somethin', As I Do Nothin'."

Secondly, does Rick Santorum even know what CPR is? If a person has been shot and is bleeding, CPR will only exacerbate the situation, as the person will then bleed at a faster rate. With that kind of advice, I can just imagine Santorum uttering the following lines at some point in his life (if he hasn't already):

- "If a person is having trouble breathing, firmly cover their mouth with one hand and plug their nose with the other."

- "If someone is losing their balance at the edge of a cliff, give them a nice tap."

- "When someone is having issues swimming, just hold their head underwater for a couple more minutes and that should do the trick."

I honestly don't think I need to say any more. Rick Santorum, congratulations - you're my Douche of the Week!

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...
