The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

I've received the following comments on my two latest satirical videos: - "Haha!" - "I liked the Tim Ryan one (as in it was my favorite of the two)!" - "I don't know how you're so clever so quickly!" - "[You look like] a sexy inventor (as Mike DeWine)!" The videos can be viewed at the following links: As Mike DeWine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9eY1k4DB88 As a horrible paid actor in an anti-Tim Ryan ad - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fuuezk17AE

Conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg wrote an article this morning on which I felt the need to comment, published by the Los Angeles Times  and entitled, "Was Robert Lewis Dear inspired by the Planned Parenthood videos? So what if he was?" Yes, that's the actual title. It only gets better. Goldberg's article starts with this: "'No more baby parts.' As of this writing, that statement by Robert Lewis Dear is the only evidence that the 'Planned Parenthood shooter' in Colorado Springs, Colo., was motivated by anti-abortion rhetoric. Dear's comment came amid a rambling interview, and law enforcement officials have not said what his motivations were." Well, that's more evidence than conservatives have of the controversial Planned Parenthood videos proving the family planning organization sells baby's parts, of climate change being a hoax, or of gun regulation having no impact on gun violence. If the shooter said "No more...

I'm slightly bothered by this whole Johnny Manziel situation, but not like most ESPN commentators it seems. While Manziel was in rehab over the summer and appears to have a history of alcohol problems, the guy is 22-years-old, fresh out of college, so it's not too terribly crazy to think such an individual would like to enjoy his weekend off partying. Yet after this occurred, he was demoted to 3rd string by Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine. Where was the outcry and demotion after he allegedly hit his girlfriend? Am I necessarily criticizing the Browns for demoting Manziel? No. But why in the world did this not occur after the alleged domestic violence incident and instead occurred after TMZ showcased videos of Manziel partying? It boggles my mind to think the NFL and Cleveland Browns would come down harder on this 22-year-old kid (kid in my mind) for drinking alcohol during the team's bye week than of hitting his girlfriend. I do hope the young Browns quarterback ge...

My father, an employee of retailer Big Lots, shared some pretty cute new videos the company is airing, entitled, the "Big Lots Pet Focus Group Video Series," and asked that I spread the good word. Enjoy, and if you do in fact like them, please share them with friends and family.  Big Lots Pet Supplies - Focus Group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne4JB3evktg Big Lots Pet Supplies  -  Cats Only  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvwLI6wzqco Big Lots Pet Supplies  -  Pets with Style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMGTy5AJK1k  

When talking about cardio workouts, a good friend of mine suggested I check out the "insanity" workout. She was even kind enough to send me a demo so I could decide whether or not to purchase the whole thing. Upon trying it out, I can say without hesitation that the title of the workout is most definitely not a case of false advertising. In fact, "insanity" may not even do the workout proper justice. I'm officially through day 15 of the 60-day workout and can honestly say my body has never felt sorer, my legs have never felt stronger, and I'm quite excited to think about how I'll look and feel when I've completed the 60-day challenge. For anyone who's interested, feel free to visit the link below and that will show you what all you need to do in order to take the 60-day challenge as well. There are also some clips of insanity workouts on YouTube if you think you may be interested, but aren't fully convinced you want to fork over any money f...
