I find this funny about the Republican Party...


It's kind of funny how it seems the majority of the Republican Party spends a good amount of their time bashing the United States government and how ineffective it is.

"Elect me. I know the government, of which I'm a part, will cause Armageddon for this country. I promise I'll make sure nothing gets done in Washington in order to move this country forward. I'm Senator Dumba*s (pronounced Doo-mah) and I approve this message."

So, what, should doctors tell their patients, "You know, Bobby, we doctors are pretty worthless. We get paid a lot of money to serve you, but at the end of the day, we cause more harm than we do good. I honestly wouldn't ever see a doctor if I were you. We won't give you shots, MRI's, catscans, EEG's or conduct a surgical procedure. Less is more and by not doing anything, we're going to help you recover from this awful disease."?

Yeah, that makes perfect logical sense... ::scratches head::

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...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
