Racism is over!!! ...so says the GOP...

This past weekend, the Republican National Committee made the following tweet in an attempt to honor civil rights icon Rosa Parks:

"Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in ending racism. pic.twitter.com/uxIJ1QmtkU"

After being repeatedly mocked for the tweet, the RNC responded with this tweet:

"Previous tweet should have read 'Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in fighting to end racism.'"

Sure, sure... With that kind of cover, the RNC would likely take a similar approach with the following tweets:

Original tweet: "We cheated on our wives."

Cover tweet: "Previous tweet should have read 'We never cheated on our wives.'"


Original tweet: "Gay people make us go eww."

Cover tweet: "Previous tweet should have read 'Gay, meaning happy, people sometimes make us go eww.'"


Original tweet: "Blacks kind of frighten us."

Cover tweet: "Previous tweet should have read 'Blacks, on the roulette wheel, kind of frighten us.'"


Original tweet: "We're not worried about kids' health after they're born."

Cover tweet: "Previous tweet should have read 'We're not not worried about kids' health after they're born.'"


Original tweet: "We think 47% of this country is pretty stupid."

Cover tweet: "Previous tweet should have read 'We think 47% of this country is really 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 ...
