"Truth isn't truth!"

On Meet the Press this past Sunday, former New York City Mayor and current Trump stooge Rudy Giuliani got into the following back-and-forth with host Chuck Todd:

Giuliani: "And when you tell me that, you know, he (Trump) should testify because he's going to tell the truth and he shouldn't worry, well that's so silly because it's somebody's version of the truth. Not the truth. He didn't have a, a conversation --"

Todd: "Truth is truth. I don't mean to go like --"

Giuliani: "No, it isn't truth. Truth isn't truth. The President of the United States said, 'I didn't --'"

This wasn't the first time someone affiliated with Donald Trump attempted to push such a narrative, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it.

Since even before his inauguration, Donald Trump has called most mainstream media outlets, "Fake news."

Kellyanne Conway has referred to lies purported by the president and members of his administration as "alternative facts."

Trump has stated something along the lines of, "What you're seeing isn't what's actually happening."

Not long before Giuliani declared that "truth isn't truth," he was quoted as saying, "Facts are in the eye of the beholder."

Never did I think we'd enter the post-truth realm of life, but here we are, at least to approximately 1/3 of the U.S. population. Up is down. Black is white. Sky is ground. Left is right. Given Giuliani's most recent quote, expect him to utter the following ridiculous lines in the future:

- "When it comes to Papadopoulos, Flynn, Gates, Manafort, and now Cohen, as a former lawyer, I can tell you first hand, guilt isn't guilt."

- "Why'd you mark this wrong, teach? The answer was C) and I put A)? But A) isn't A)!"

- "Excuse me, waiter? I ordered the chicken. This is chicken? No, no, no, chicken isn't chicken. These are pancakes."

- "Honey, where are you going? I'm not f*cking your sister! Remember what we talked about in Vegas that one time? Anal isn't anal!"

- "Officer, yes, the speed limit is 65, but you know as well as I that 65 isn't 65, right? 95, meanwhile, is 65."

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!"
