"What's the address of the White House?" Sarah Palin would see as a "gotcha question..."

At the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. last week, former Vice Presidential candidate and politician voted least likely to know the capital city of her own home state - Sarah Palin - gave a speech which yet again showed how lacking she is when it comes to remembering history, geography, specifics, well, pretty much anything. In this speech, she said:

"Don't retreat. You reload with truth, which I know is an endangered species at 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue, anyway, truth...the media's favorite president. He just can't stop telling lies..."

I wonder who resides at 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue, because it's not President Barack Obama. The White House has been located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since the 1800s. It's rather ironic that Ms. Palin told people to "reload with truth" before unintentionally misstating the address of the White House. As Rick Perry would say, "Oops..."

Due to this rather embarrassing slip-up, I have to believe the former Alaska Governor will make the following statements at some point in the future:

- "Did you notice that right when Barack Obama got settled in as president in this great nation's capital of Washington State, our country started going downhill? That can't be a coincidence!"

- "Whenever President Obama sits at the Rectangle Office, I get nervous, and you all should too! You betcha!"

- "This presidency is a crisis! It's such an emergency that we impeach him, I'm about to call 8-1-1 right now!"

- "If I were Santa Claus, I'd fill President Obama's stocking with coal in the Grey House!"

- "I can see 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue from my own house!"

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 ...
