Donald Trump is gone. Now it's Herman Cain. Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry probably won't be far behind. It's depressing. The entertaining GOP candidates are leaving the party just as it's starting to get good. Who will be left? Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich? Maybe Ron Paul? What fun are those guys? The great late-night jokes which were uttered at these candidates' expense will be sorely missed. All I'll say is, please, reconsider resigning your campaigns, for me? For late-night talk show hosts everywhere? For comedians? It's been difficult for the Republican Party to outdo the eloquence of George W. Bush, but they've certainly been trying with the likes of Trump, Perry, Bachmann and Cain. I suppose the serious side of me should be happy that none of those four will be elected president in 2012. That's what I'll just have to keep telling myself as I watch the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert telling jokes at the expense of politicians.
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
