Ted Nuggethead Nugent's thoughts on the George Zimmerman ruling

Rock star, gun rights activist, and man voted sexiest person alive only by himself - Ted Nugent - wrote an op-ed on Sunday regarding the George Zimmerman verdict, where he stated the following:

"Trayvon Martin's vicious attack on George Zimmerman and Martin's tragic death have no doubt surely dragged Mr. Zimmerman through 18 months of untold emotional hell, pain, distress, anguish, fatigue, nightmares and financial ruin. Again, following the narrative of the pro-Trayvon media types and other race-baiters, if Trayvon Martin was a minor, then Trayvon Martin's parents may be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering Mr. Zimmerman has been put through for the past 18 months, and surely for the rest of his life."

Just when I thought the man couldn't get any stupider, he goes and says this. Yes, Mr. Zimmerman has endured quite the emotional rollercoaster over the past 18 months, Mr. Nugent. However, let's get one thing straight here - the defendant in this case has the ability to feel such things, whereas Trayvon Martin - the person Zimmerman killed - will never be able to feel such things again. Mr. Zimmerman may very well be an emotional mess for the rest of his life. Then again, he at least has the ability to live life and feel such emotions. The person he killed does not have that capability.

Nugent then decides to one-up himself on Morontron2000 by saying that if Trayvon Martin had been a minor, his parents could be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering of the man who killed their son.

Let's break down Nuggethead's train of thought here:

1) George Zimmerman kills Trayvon Martin

2) George Zimmerman is found not guilty (of a crime, but it's a fact that he killed Mr. Martin)

3) Zimmerman's family will get to experience life with him for days, weeks, months, and years to come

4) Martin's family will never get to spend a second more of life with him

5) If Martin had been a bit younger, his parents should have been held liable for the pain and suffering of George Zimmerman, while their son lays in a graveyard

6) Zimmerman and his family should not at all be liable for the pain and suffering of Martin's family - the family who's one member short of where they were not too terribly long ago because George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.

That makes a lot of sense. With that kind of logic, perhaps abused altar boys should be held liable for the pain and suffering the Catholic Church has gone through in recent years...

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 ...
