Tea Party activist Roan Garcia-Quintana sounds confused

Meet Roan Garcia-Quintana - a Tea Party activist, a Cuban native, who sees himself as white, not Latino.

He's currently a board member of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which has been listed as a white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. This group opposes "all efforts to mix the races of mankind" and to "promote non-white citizen races over the European-American people."

The Cuban immigrant is also the executive director of the anti-immigration group Americans Have Had Enough.

Is it just me, or does Mr. Garcia-Quintana sound slightly confused? I can only imagine a woman's reaction upon meeting him off a dating site.

Roan Garcia-Quintana: "Hello there. Trisha?"

Trisha White: "Yes. How did you know that? Do I know you?"

Garcia-Quintana: "Yes, it's Bob Johnson from E-Harmony."

White: "Wait...what? Is this a joke?"

Garcia-Quintana: "No, it's really me. Is something wrong?"

White: "You said you were white."

Garcia-Quintana: "I am."

White: "Uh... I'm also having trouble believing your name is Bob Johnson and you were, but weren't really born in Cuba as you contended."

Garcia-Quintana: ::hands her his ID:: "See for yourself..."

White: "It says your name is Roan Garcia-Quintana and you were born in Havana, Cuba. I thought you were anti-immigrant..."

Garcia-Quintana: "I am."

White: "Why did you tell me your name was Bob Johnson?"

Garcia-Quintana: "It is."

White: "So, you're anti-immigration, especially Latino-immigration, are kind of anti-Latino, yet are yourself a Latino immigrant?"

Garcia-Quintana: "Yes, everything but that last part."

White: "But you were born in Cuba and are Latino."

Garcia-Quintana: "That's not true. I'm as white as you are and am a South Carolina native, just like you."

White: "I'm actually from Georgia."

Garcia-Quintana: "Liar! I can only date South Carolinians."

White: "But you're not even one!"

Garcia-Quintana: "Whatever. You're in such denial."

White: "Denial appears to be a river in Cuba!"

Garcia-Quintana: "Ugh! I hate Cuba!"

White: "You're from there!"

Garcia-Quintana: "No, I'm not."

White: "Ugh!" ::stomps out of the Mexican restaurant::

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 ...
