Obamacare asks for a restraining order against Ted Cruz

There comes a time in most all our lives where we have to take a deep breath and walk away with our tails between our legs after failing in our pursuance of a major crush. If we don't, then a court order may follow, and we soon won't be allowed within a certain distance of that person. What can I say? Love (and/or infatuation) causes many people to lose their minds once in a while.

That brings me to Texas Senator and man voted most likely to fondle himself while listening to his own recorded speeches - Ted Cruz, whom seems to possess such an intense obsession over Obamacare, the healthcare bill is rumored to be seeking a restraining order against the Senator.

Not only has Cruz uttered such extreme rhetoric where he claims that Obamacare is the end of freedom as we know it and was chiefly responsible for the government shutdown in the name of repealing the healthcare law, he's now appeared to compare everything that he deems to be wrong in the world with the Affordable Care Act.

After President Obama recently urged the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to "implement the strongest possible rules" when it comes to net neutrality (protecting a free and open Internet), Senator Cruz didn't waste a moment to respond on his Twitter account, where he posted the following tweet:

"'Net Neutrality' is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government."

This is funny on two fronts: 1) Really? Everything that he doesn't agree with, he's going to compare to Obamacare? and 2) Wasn't it Mr. Cruz himself who was the main force behind the government shutdown? Due to his actions, if the Internet ran at the speed of government, it wouldn't run at all...

So, how far will Mr. Cruz take this Obamacare obsession of his? If he continues at the pace he's going, expect the Texas Senator to utter the following lines at some point:

- "California is the Obamacare to this country!"

- "Homosexuality is the Obamacare of the Bible!"

- "President Obama is the Obamacare of presidents!"

- "The Oakland Raiders are the Obamacare of football!"

- "I am the Obamacare of Congress!"

Okay, so perhaps he won't utter that last line...

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 ...
