SOUND OFF: Guys, Don’t Suck at Giving Christmas Gifts

Working retail while going through college, I can proudly say that I hate the holidays. Call me a grinch, but working insane hours, restocking shelves, rude customers, clueless seasonal workers..It’s enough to effectively kill any holiday spirit for the rest of my life. However, my favorite time of the season is always the weekend before Christmas and Christmas Eve because [...]

SOUND OFF: NBA Lockout

Last night I made popcorn, got some Coke Zero, and sat down in front of the TV to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves tip off their 2011-2012 campaign, but I was sadly disappointed. Due to the NBA lockout, my favorite team was nowhere to be seen. What should be a wonderful time for basketball fans everywhere has lead to a feeling [...]

SOUND OFF: Garofaloism is the new McCarthyism

Back in sixth grade history class, we were taught about Senator Joseph McCarthy, who rose to fame in the 1950s by saying that the evil Communists had infiltrated the Federal Government, the US Army, Dwight Eisenhower’s administration and various other aspects of government. The problem was, despite all of his vitriol, Senator McCarthy was never able to substantiate any of [...]

SOUND OFF: The Fallacy of “Need” and “Greed”

Somewhere across America, there is a group in the United States that refer to themselves as the 99 Percenters. Recently 2000 or so of these people ‘took over’ Wall St to protest the “one percent” of Americans that hold all the wealth, and to hold them responsible for the economic meltdown, and resulting sluggish job market. They even had a [...]

SOUND OFF: Obama: Crying B!#ch in Chief

As I sit read articles on the internet about our President, I am flabbergasted at how petty this chump is. Seriously, has any public figure ever cried more about anything that happens that reflects poorly on him, than Barack (Middle name redacted) Obama? Barack Obama, who promised the nation unemployment would fall below 8% if his trillion dollar stimulus was [...]

SOUND OFF: Next Thing You Know, Billie Got Low, Low, Low, Low…

Yes, rock stars are known for their outrageous stage shows. Yes, rock stars are known for wild and crazy parties. And yes, they are even known for their unrestrained attire (on and off the stage). So when it came to Green Day front man, Billie Joe Armstrong, it should only make sense that eventually he would cause a stir over [...]

SOUND OFF: America Since 9-11

As you may have noticed if you watched TV this past weekend, it’s been ten years since the September 11th attacks and in the decade that has passed America has gone through: Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, a crisis on Wall Street, the mortgage crisis, a recession or two, hurricane Katrina, the S&P downgrade, and bitter, hate filled battles [...]

SOUND OFF: I Wear Clothes For a Reason

Being the social butterfly that I am, I have a profile on all the major social-networking sites. Facebook, Myspace, VampireFreaks, and plenty more. Though I think we all know that Myspace is a dying breed. That’s completely beside the point though. The point is, I get tons of messages from random guys, and sometimes girls, with egos ten times their [...]
