No offense, Glenn Beck, but you're a tool...

Glenn Beck is at it again - spreading stupidity, I mean, conspiracies (there's often times a thin line between the two).

It appears as if Beck believes the government might be lying about Secretary of State John Kerry's wife (Teresa Heinz Kerry) being recently hospitalized. Beck has criticized Kerry for allegedly being on his boat in Nantucket while the chaos in Egypt unfolded last week.

The State Department responded to the photographs showing Kerry on his boat by saying the following:

"While he (Kerry) was briefly on his boat on Wednesday, Secretary Kerry worked around the clock all day including participating in the President's meeting with his national security council."

Beck then responded to both this and the news about Kerry's wife in this manner:

"Instead of telling you the truth, [the government] says [Kerry] is definitely not on his boat. Until the pictures actually show up and then, 'Okay, he was on his boat.' And you expect me to believe that Mrs. Ketchup is in critical condition? I mean no offense, maybe she is."

Oh, no offense taken. A woman's life was in jeopardy, Beck insinuates her health situation was fabricated, yet then immediately says that he doesn't mean offense.

Segueing from that, I have to imagine Beck will utter the following lines at some point in his life (if he hasn't already):

- "You expect me to believe their 20-year old dog died? I mean, no offense or anything, but still..."

- "You expect me to believe a straight dude got AIDS from having lots of unprotected sex with lots of women? No offense, but give me a break!"

- "You expect me to believe that people actually listen to and believe what I say? No offense, but are people really that stupid?"

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 ...
