The GOP's battle with ACORN is officially over, well after it was officially over...

I'm happy to announce that, after voting to defund it 13 times, it seems as if the Republican Party's battle with ACORN (The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is now officially over.

Why is this news? Oh, just for the simple fact that Congress defunded ACORN back in 2009, and the group disbanded in early 2010 because it had run out of money. That didn't stop the Republican Party from attempting to further defund the already defunded group another 13 times, however. They just wanted to make extra certain, I guess.

In light of this extraordinary news, GOP members have decided to stop doing the following:

- Going to Borders to purchase the Bible

- Stopping by Circuit City for an Atari

- Proposing to celebrities like: Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, and Heath Ledger

- Donating money to the Unicorn and Dodo Bird Foundation

- Wasting the taxpayers money on groups that no longer exist

Nevermind about that last one. It was just wishful thinking on my part. In light of stories like this, I think the GOP in Grand Old Party should instead stand for Get Out Please!

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 ...
