Drunken Rick Perry

It's unofficially official (according to me), Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry sounded a tad drunk or high in his recent New Hampshire speech. I'll give you all a chance to view this for yourselves: http://www.fitsnews.com/2011/11/01/nh-speech-was-rick-perry-drunk/

Pretty funny stuff, eh? I really hate to stereotype, but what is it with these Texas Governors? It's well documented that George W. Bush, at one time, had a drinking problem. He didn't seem to shy away from the coke or choking on pretzels either. Whenever the guy spoke, I had to think to myself, "Can he really be that dumb or is he just drunk?" Unfortunately for him (and us), I don't think he was drunk. Rick Perry comes across as Bush's non-identical twin. The way they talk (eloquent, of course...), they way they gesture, the way they have difficulty forming complete grammatically-correct sentences and the way they appear as if they're drunk or high half the time they speak. As I'm sure many people have either seen the picture of which I speak or just heard the phrase - "Do you miss me yet?" - in reference to former president, George W. Bush, if you do miss Dubya, Rick Perry is your guy! My answer to that? No. Eight years with one Republican Texas Governor was more than enough for me. I don't need another four to eight. Fortunately, as Rick Perry appears to be battling Herman Cain for craziest GOP candidate running for president, and with Perry's approval numbers sliding, it's very doubtful he will win the nomination. At the same time, however, Cain is neck-and-neck with Mitt Romney for first in the race to become the GOP nominee.

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 ...
