According to some Republicans, winning = losing (and vice versa)

We're just one week removed from the election, where President Barack Obama won 332 electoral votes compared to just 206 for Republican challenger Mitt Romney. However, this hasn't stopped some Republicans from seeming to suggest that even though their nominee was soundly defeated, his policies won.

As Missouri Republican Senator Roy Blunt just recently stated:

"I think, frankly, this is a great opportunity for the president to step forward, he's just been reelected, he doesn't have to run for office again, and come up with a plan that can actually pass. And I think that means, don't do the across the board cuts, come up with a way to have really targeted cuts and look at ways to increase revenue by one growing the economy, and two, maybe look at the tax code, just like Governor Romney suggested, you look at tax code and increase revenue without increasing taxes."

Yes, because when America voted Barack Obama to be president for the next four years, what we were really doing was voting for Mitt Romney's policies. It's just like if Mitt Romney had been elected, what the people would really be doing was making certain Obamacare was here to stay. It's common knowledge that when Applicant B gets hired somewhere, his or her employer says to them, "What I really want is for you to be just like Applicant A. Can you do that for me? Thanks."

While Obama is at it, he may want to lighten his skin color some, become Mormon, take his dog for a ride while strapped to the roof of his car, and have a son who is to be named Tagg.

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 ...
