The process of Thom Tillis' brain functioning takes too long...

After spending decades in a North Carolina prison for a crime they didn't commit, Henry Lee McCollum and Leon Brown were finally freed.

When asked about the situation in his first debate with Democratic Senator Kay Hagan, Republican Thom Tillis said this: "I feel very, very sorry for them and I'm glad to know they're out. At least the process worked, it just took too long."

In light of this, expect Tillis to make similar statements with regard to the following scenarios:

Situation: Botched execution takes 9 hours to complete

Tillis: "At least the process worked, it just took too long."


Situation: Flight from D.C. to Charlotte takes 12 hours due to delays

 Tillis: "At least the process worked, it just took too long."


Situation: Tillis attempts to add 2 + 2 on the calculator

 Tillis: "At least the process worked, it just took too long."

Indeed it did...

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 ...
