Texas Representative Steve Stockman claims the 2nd Amendment was somehow "granted by God"

Texas Republican Representative and man voted most likely to get into a fist-fight with himself - Steve Stockman - said the following with regard to President Barack Obama likely singing the United Nations' Arms Trade Treaty:

"The right to keep and bear arms is granted by God and protecting [sic] from government aggression by the Constitution. It is not subject to the whims of global totalitarians massed in New York City."

The first recorded use of a firearm occurred in the year 1364. It's estimated that the Bible was written between the years of pre-1445 B.C. to the early 90s A.D. In other words, the first gun was fired between 1,271 and 2,809+ years after the Bible was written. So, I guess my only question for Mr. Stockman is, when did the right to keep and bear arms get granted by God again?

While we're at, Mr. Stockman might as well say the following:

- "The right to watch reality television is granted by God!"

- "The right to play solitaire on the computer is granted by God!"

- "The right to play 'Duck Hunt' on the Nintendo is granted by God!"

- "The right to drive a truck while listening to Kenny Chesney is granted by God!"

- "The right to sound like an idiot is granted by God!"

Okay, so that last one may possibly be true, especially in Mr. Stockman's case.

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 ...
