God spared Boehner as House Speaker...or something...

I read an article today and couldn't help but share an excerpt of it. It pertains to the House fiscal cliff vote earlier this year. The article says:

"Barely 36 hours after the caustic New Year's Day vote, Boehner faced a coup attempt from a clutch of renegade conservatives. The cabal quickly fell apart when several Republicans, after a night of prayer, said God told them to spare the speaker. Still, Boehner came within a few votes of failing to secure his speakership on the initial vote, an outcome that would have forced a second ballot for the first time in nearly a century."

All of these House members whom prayed to God the night before the vote were told the exact same thing - to spare Mr. Boehner as speaker? Fascinating... Well, after reading that, I have a few questions for all of these Republican House members:

- What did God's voice sound like? Was it more reminiscent of James Earl Jones in a cave or Michael Jackson when grabbing his crotch?

- Did God speak Latin, Hebrew, Greek, English, or a combination of them along with some jive?

- Did God give the vibe that he had ever done any gangsta rap in his day?

- Did you take any pills that night? Any hallucinogens?

- Did you hear any other voices that night? An invisible friend by the name of Pipsqueak perhaps?

- Are you seeing a shrink? I mean, how many shrinks are you seeing?

- Do your doctors know about these voices and hallucinations? Are they scared as well? Especially since you're in Congress?

- Could you send an audio-clip the next time you hear God's voice, so someone can imitate him, and tell you to resign from office. Amen.

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 ...
