The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists."

One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap.

:: slow-claps for two seconds ::

So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it?

"You know who talks about race? Racists."

Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist.

Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes?

With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths:

Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?"

A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women."

Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"


and


A gay man: "You know, there are times I wish I wasn't gay, so I wouldn't have to worry about fighting for equal rights. I'd already have these rights, you know? But, I am gay, I can't help that, and I have to fight for equal rights, not only for myself and my partner, but all of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters out there."

Hoenig: "You're such a homophobic queer! Just shut up about it already! Geez!"


Lastly, Jonathan Hoenig and the like-minded can deny racism all they want. They can deny sexism. They can deny homophobia, global warming, hate-crimes, rape, among many other things. However, denial can't refute the fact that all of the before-mentioned things do exist, and just because one may admit the reality does exist doesn't mean he or she is the reason for that reality existing. According to Hoenig, he could make sense by taking the following stance in this next back-and-forth:

A professor: "No matter how sad it is, and no matter how much we want to deny it, racism is very much alive and well in contemporary society. To deny this will only prolong the situation. What we need to do is confront this problem, discuss it, try to make some necessary changes, and hope that at some point in the future, we'll erase, if not significantly decrease the level of racism in this country."

Hoenig: "That's ridiculous! What is all this with race and racism? You know who talks about race? Racists."

You know who talks about nonsense? Jonathan Hoenig.

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 ...
