A Crazy Santorum Obamacare Conspiracy Theory

Like many others of his party, Rick Santorum has decided to join the crazed Obamacare conspiracy circle, where the members join hands, drink spiked Kool-Aid, and sing the new song "Kumbaya Against Gays" in unison.

At a Young Americans for Freedom event last Friday, Santorum said the following during a speech he made:

"It's actually a pretty clever system (Obamacare). Take care of the people who can vote and people who can't vote, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them care so they can't vote against you."

I could tear this conspiracy theory apart a number of different ways, but will decide to go the logic route this time.

What Rick Santorum is implying is that Obamacare will take care of those whom can vote, but will kill those whom can't vote as quickly as possible, so that these very people can't vote against you.

Let's think about this for a minute, which is approximately sixty seconds longer than Santorum obviously thought about matters before speaking. The legal voting age is 18, so according to Rick Santorum, it's President Obama's goal to kill those under 18 and perhaps minorities, women, and elders in certain states, due to them having problems voting because of voter suppression laws passed by the Republican Party. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...

So, mixing Rick Santorum's conspiracy theory with facts, here's our basic breakdown:

1) Obamacare will take care of people whom can vote and do away with people whom can't vote.

2) The Republican Party passes voter suppression laws to make it more difficult for typical Democratic voters, such as women and minorities, to cast their votes.

3) Due to all this, it's apparent that President Obama's ultimate goal with Obamacare is for it to kill many Democratic voters which would help to keep it as law.

Does that all sound about right, Mr. Santorum? In your own demented mind anyway?

It would have made a lot more sense if Santourm had altered his statement slightly so that it centered around the GOP's voter suppression efforts, and he said this:

"It's actually a pretty clever system (voter suppression). Take care of the people who will vote for you and people who won't vote for you, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them the opportunity so they can't vote against you."

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 ...
