HAPPY NEW YEAR! Resolutions and Wishes for 2017

Well, pretty much the best thing that one can say about 2016 is that it's been crazy AF.  Not only have we lost seemingly everyone that made the 80's and 90's worth living, White people showed us their "true color" by electing a racist raging asshole for President of the United States.  Usually I post these resolutions with a bit of tongue in cheek humor (and don't worry, you'll laugh at some of these), but this time it's a bit serious.  With that in mind, here goes...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Resolutions and Wishes for 2016

Hi, folks.  Here once again with my list of resolutions and wishes for the coming year.  Needless to say that 2015 has been an interesting year in almost every aspect.  And while I can spend an entire year coming up with stuff to put here, I figure I'll just limit it list to the top whatever pops into my head.  Enjoy.

RNC's Hillary Protest - Don't Call It A Boycott.

This past Friday the Republican National Committee, under the leadership of Reince Preibus, voted to "boycott" NBC and CNN because of their respective plans to air programs featuring Hillary Clinton.  Their plan is to not air any of the 2016 GOP Primary debates on those networks.  Looking at this, a few things come to mind right off.  First, a "boycott" is actually supposed to cause some level of monetary damage to the person or entity being boycotted.  It's pretty hard to see how this hurts these two networks, since advertisers don't really pay much for ad space on debates.  NBC, being an entertainment network, stands to make more money on reruns of The Voice than from political debates.  Second, there really is supposed to be a goal involved in a boycott.  The idea is to force the target of your boycott into some kind of concession.  Does the RNC really think they're going to force NBC and CNN to drop their respective Hillary plans?  No.  They don't.  That's because this isn't really a boycott.  This is an attempt to hide the crazy.
