The Constitutionally Conflicted Bob Goodlatte (Republican Virginia Representative)

On April 14th's episode of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Republican Virginia Representative Bob Goodlatte said something which prompted me to replay it, look up the quote, read the transcript, and make certain I hadn't just developed a mild case of hearing impairment or Alzheimer's.

When discussing gun control, Goodlatte said, and I quote, "I'm all for the First Amendment conversation, but not at the expense of the Second Amendment."

Let me get this straight, Representative Goodlatte fully supports our free speech rights, with the exception being when it comes to the Second Amendment? Yeah, that makes sense.

While Goodlatte is at it, he might as well say the following:

- "I'm all for freedom of religion, so long as you're not a Muslim."

- "I have always been honest with the American people, except for in a few political ads."

- "I will always be faithful to my wife, unless her sister is in town."

- "I've faked every orgasm, besides all those times I didn't."

- "I have always made logical sense when speaking, except for those times when I opened my mouth to do so."

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 ...
