A Crazy Santorum Obamacare Conspiracy Theory

Like many others of his party, Rick Santorum has decided to join the crazed Obamacare conspiracy circle, where the members join hands, drink spiked Kool-Aid, and sing the new song "Kumbaya Against Gays" in unison.

At a Young Americans for Freedom event last Friday, Santorum said the following during a speech he made:

"It's actually a pretty clever system (Obamacare). Take care of the people who can vote and people who can't vote, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them care so they can't vote against you."

I could tear this conspiracy theory apart a number of different ways, but will decide to go the logic route this time.

What Rick Santorum is implying is that Obamacare will take care of those whom can vote, but will kill those whom can't vote as quickly as possible, so that these very people can't vote against you.

Let's think about this for a minute, which is approximately sixty seconds longer than Santorum obviously thought about matters before speaking. The legal voting age is 18, so according to Rick Santorum, it's President Obama's goal to kill those under 18 and perhaps minorities, women, and elders in certain states, due to them having problems voting because of voter suppression laws passed by the Republican Party. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...

So, mixing Rick Santorum's conspiracy theory with facts, here's our basic breakdown:

1) Obamacare will take care of people whom can vote and do away with people whom can't vote.

2) The Republican Party passes voter suppression laws to make it more difficult for typical Democratic voters, such as women and minorities, to cast their votes.

3) Due to all this, it's apparent that President Obama's ultimate goal with Obamacare is for it to kill many Democratic voters which would help to keep it as law.

Does that all sound about right, Mr. Santorum? In your own demented mind anyway?

It would have made a lot more sense if Santourm had altered his statement slightly so that it centered around the GOP's voter suppression efforts, and he said this:

"It's actually a pretty clever system (voter suppression). Take care of the people who will vote for you and people who won't vote for you, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them the opportunity so they can't vote against you."

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...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Film Critic Steve Rhodes Has Some Issues

Normally, I don't "bash" movie critics, because what's the point? We all have different tastes in film, so who am I to say that their tastes are wrong? But, I just bumped into a critic online the other day, and I really have to wonder about him. There is not much consistency with what he likes and doesn't like. Check that, he dislikes anything with George Clooney, he either strongly likes or dislikes films dealing with politics, and he typically enjoys Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Keep in mind that this is a major film critic. This is not a guy like me who writes blog reviews after I view a film at the theaters. Also keep in mind that I'm very open-minded when it comes to films. I enjoy: comedies, dramas, science-fiction, action, suspense/mystery, horror, romantic comedies, romance, foreign, independent, satires, amongst others. It takes a lot for me to sit down, watch a film, and dislike it. There are only a few films where after the credits start rolling, I...
