Debbie Dunnegan Waters claims she didn't say what she actually said...

Debbie Dunnegan Waters, Jefferson County Recorder of Deeds (Missouri), and yes, a Republican, recently posted this message on her Facebook page:

"I have a question for all my friends who have served or are currently serving in our military ... have not put on a uniform nor taken any type military oath, there has to be something that I am just not aware of. But I cannot and do not understand why no action is being taken against our domestic enemy. I know he is supposedly the commander in chief, but the constitution gives you the authority. What am I missing? Thank you for your bravery and may God keep you safe."

After receiving the inevitable backlash for posting this message, Ms. Dunnegan Waters said this in a telephone interview on St. Louis Public Radio:

"I'm not calling the president a domestic enemy. I'm not calling the president anything. He is the president. Do I agree with what the president is doing? Absolutely not. Anybody that asks me, I'll be happy to tell you that."

She also tweeted this message: "The rest choose to hate me w/o cause. Judge me on half truth and spins."

Finally, she told the Post-Dispatch that, "Something innocent and simple got twisted into a disaster because it's an election."

Let's back up a moment here. Ms. Dunnegan Waters, would you please repeat the third and fourth lines of your Facebook message, starting with, "But I cannot..."?

"But I cannot and do not understand why no action is being taken against our domestic enemy. I know he is supposedly the commander in chief, but the constitution gives you the authority."

Okay then... ...and who is the Commander-in-Chief?

"President Barack Obama"

What does the "he," with regard to the Commander-in-Chief, represent in the previous sentence?

"Our domestic enemy"

In other words, our Commander-in-Chief, President Barack Obama, is our domestic enemy? Is that what you're saying, Ms. Dunnegan Waters? Please respond with your quote from the telephone interview on St. Louis Public Radio.

"I'm not calling the president a domestic enemy. I'm not calling the president anything. He is the president. Do I agree with what the president is doing? Absolutely not. Anybody that asks me, I'll be happy to tell you that."

So, you referred to the president as our domestic enemy, yet you didn't? Interesting... Is there anything you'd like to add?

"Something innocent and simple got twisted into a disaster because it's an election."

Twisting what you said by repeating what you said? Fascinating... Anything else?

"The rest choose to hate me w/o cause. Judge me on half truth and spins."

Even though it's been documented that you referred to the president as our "domestic enemy" and asked why no violent action has been taken against him? Who's providing the half-truths and spins again? Those in the media reporting the documented information, or the person trying to dismiss and hide from that documented information?

Ah, Debbie Dunnegan Waters, just another far-right politician blaming the "liberal" media for factually reporting her crazy thoughts. Maybe Stephen Colbert was right when he said, "Facts are liberally biased."

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 ...
