This liberal approves of "Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace"

I don't tend to watch much cable news. Most of it is slanted one way or the other. When that's not the case, it's common for conspiracy theorists to receive just as much airtime as renowned scientists. One show I've come to watch and like, however, is MSNBC's Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace.

Nicolle Wallace, believe it or not, was once George W. Bush's White House Communications Director. She was also a senior advisor to the John McCain-Sarah Palin 2008 campaign team. So she hasn't been shy about her Republican leanings in the past. That all changed when Donald Trump began running for the presidency, however. Especially after Trump received the Republican Party's nomination, Wallace, like many others, felt as though the GOP had left her, so it was time for her to leave the GOP. Ever since that point, she's been one of the Republican Party's (Trump in particular) harshest critics. There have even been times where I, a self-described liberal Trump basher, have listened to her commentary on the show and said, "Dammmmn! That was nasty!" I'll even hear a Democrat on her show partially defend a Republican politician or the party and she'll quickly snap back with something like, "No, he a lying sucktard. Moving on..."

The only complaint I have with the show is the fact it seems Ms. Wallace likes to play apologist for her former boss, George W. Bush. On one hand, I can understand why she does this. On the other, however, while Donald Trump is the worst president in this country's history, George W. Bush isn't far behind. I'll let that slide, though. For whatever reason, there's nothing I like more than seeing a former Republican seeing the light, seeing the party for what it's become, and bashing them harder than Aaron Judge on a 100 mph fastball right down the middle of the plate. So, check it out. Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace, on MSNBC from 4 to 5 pm EST Mondays through Fridays.

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!"
