Reason #1,429,199 why blacks don't vote Republican

Some people (mainly Casper-like white people living in gated communities) wonder why African-Americans rarely ever vote Republican. Both Al Gore and John Kerry won around 90% of the black vote in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Barack Obama won 95% in 2008 and 93% in 2012. What gives? It's situations like the one I'm about to share with you. Well after the election results became final, Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster publicly announced that there may have been some voter fraud in the state. Why did he suspect this? I'll allow him to tell you himself.

Webster said, "In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day."

He continued with this: "Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in [these] towns knows anyone who's black. How did that happen? I don't know. We're going to find out."

For the record, President Obama beat Mitt Romney by well over 100,000 votes statewide. If we take 100,000 and divide it by 12 (a dozen), that brings us to approximately 8,333. If Mr. Webster, when saying "dozens, dozens" meant to say, "At least 8,300 dozens," he may had reason to investigate that matter further and Maine's four critical electoral votes could have swung from Obama to Romney to close the gap from 126 (Obama - 332, Romney - 206) to 118 (Obama - 328, Romney 210). To say that Maine was a game-changer in the election would be like saying pigeons are man's best friend.

In response to the Maine Republican Party Chairman's remarks, approximately 100% of black people prayed for pigeons to crap on Mr. Webster's 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 ...
