A North Dakota Representative believes abortions lead to school shootings...

North Dakota Republican member of the House - Kevin Cramer - had some interesting remarks when giving a commencement address at the University of Mary on May 4th of this year.

During this speech, Cramer said, "Forty years ago, the United States Supreme Court sanctioned abortion on demand. And we wonder why our culture sees school shootings so often."

Right, because the legalization of abortion is the cause for school shootings. I'm not sure how that alleged link works exactly, but I'm going to try and crawl inside the mind of Representative Cramer (not literally, thank goodness) and see where he possibly came up with such a link.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I stand before you all to tell you the honest-to-God truth - guns don't shoot and kill people; abortions shoot and kill people! Think about it... Due to the sinful nature of abortion, God has made it so that whenever a child is aborted, a person gets shot and killed due to that abortion. Also, when someone has an abortion, the baby is fired out of the woman's vagina and slams into the doctor like a bullet from a machine gun. The doctor dies instantly from the baby-gunshot wound. Don't just take my word for it - take God's! Now, due to all of these babies flying out of their mother's vaginas at great speeds and killing doctors, along with God punishing others with fatal gunshots, a great number of people have become angered by these events, and this is when they resort to school shootings. That, my friends, is a fact! Like I said, guns don't shoot and kill people; abortions should and kill people! Thank you. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America!"

I'm guessing Mr. Cramer would draw a similarly crazy link with regard to gay marriage, such as this:

"Hear me loud and clear, America! We're seeing more and more states legalizing gay marriage. And we wonder why people have so many abortions!"

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

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 ...
