Rick Santorum admits that his supporters are stupid

Okay, so he didn't use those words exactly. However, he, perhaps unintentionally, insinuated just as much. At the Values Voter Summit on Saturday, the former Pennsylvania Senator and rumored star of the porno "Spreading Santorum All Over the U.S. of A." - Rick Santorum - said the following: "We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country. We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."

Rick Santorum - the former front-runner to the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election - went somewhere I won't even go, as he insinuated that conservative Republicans are, for lack of a better word, stupid. Sure, while a study released not long ago showcased that the average liberal person has a higher IQ than the average conservative and while it seems as if to most (not all) conservatives, fact-checking is akin to Satan reaching inside of them and pulling their hearts out of their chests, I don't think it's all too bright to insinuate that the average person of any group is stupid. Of course, if the wannabe-Jesus clone is right, perhaps the audience didn't understand what he was saying. Going even further, maybe he didn't even understand what he was saying. I'm thinking the latter is probably more likely than the former. Santorum may want to play off of this for some money, create and sell some shirts and bumper stickers, which read, "I'm stupid. I like Rick Santorum."

If Santorum runs for president again, he could play off of this even further and in an ad, close with this - "So if you like me, you're stupid. I'm stupid, so if you like me, you are too. So if you're stupid like me and like me, be stupid and vote for me. Be conservative. Be stupid. Vote for me. I'm Rick Santorum and I approve this message. Oh and I love Jesus. Amen."

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 ...
