North Carolina State Senator: Obamacare is worse than Hitler, Stalin, and terrorism combined!

The Republican Party may have reached a new low with the let's-talk-crazy-about-Obamacare rhetoric when North Carolina State Senator Bob Rucho tweeted the following message this past Sunday:

"Justice Robert's pen & Obamacare has done more damage to the USA then the swords of the Nazis,Soviets & terrorists combined."

After receiving criticism for his ridiculous tweet, Rucho responded by tweeting this:

"Those that tweeted, put your thinking caps back on: 'The PEN is mightier than the SWORD.' Edward Bulwar-Lytton, 1830. But surely you knew that."

I'm thinking Senator Rucho is void of anything resembling a thinking cap. Yes, according to him, it would make perfect sense to go up to a family member of a 9/11 victim and tell them, "Hey, the pen is mightier than the sword."

Victims of the Holocaust: approximately 11,000,000

Victims under Stalin: approximately 40,000,000

Victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack: approximately 3,000

Victims of the new healthcare law which has yet to be fully implemented yet: Closer to 0 than any of the preceding numbers

Speaking of "closer to 0 than any of the preceding numbers," based on his tweets, I'm thinking that's what Mr. Rucho's IQ is.

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 ...
