The Top Ten Post-Presidential Jobs For George W. Bush


Former President George W. Bush was in office for eight full years (very long ones at that) and as I’m sure is the case for many others, I haven’t heard much about Dubya since Barack Obama was elected president. I think the ex-president could use some advice on what he should do with himself now that he’s out of the Oval Office (thank God!).

10. Professional pretzel taste-tester.

9. Philosopher with the newfound theory, "You're either with me or against me!"

8. A cast member on Survivor, finding a way to rig the vote so that he's not voted off the island.

7. Follow in O.J.'s footsteps in his lifelong quest of finding the killer and make it his lifelong quest to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

6. Horse trainer (with possible promotion to head of FEMA)

5. Owner of the Houston Astros, trading away pitchers: Roger Clemens, Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte and Brad Lidge for some top-of-the-line (pun intended) coke.

4. Author the book, A Dummy's Guide to Becoming President.

3. Along with conservative buddy, Bill O'Reilly, create a 900-hotline, called Hot and 'Nuculur'."

2. Become founder and president of AOL (America Online) rival, AWOL.

1. (drum roll) Open a new national chain of restaurants called Barbecue Bush.

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.

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 ...
