6-year-old Tommy Piledriver becomes the latest GOP spokesperson

After writing a nearly legible letter in crayon to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, the RNC chairman took 6-year-old Tommy Piledriver of Ding Dong, Texas under his wing, and has turned him into the latest GOP spokesperson.

When I caught up with the RNC chairman and asked him about this development, here's what he told me:

"From the red, white, and blue crayons he used in the letter; to reasoning with a loud voice, wild gestures, emotion, and manipulation over facts, numbers, and logic; to seeing the world revolve around himself, I just knew little Tommy would make for the perfect spokesperson for the Republican Party."

Priebus was right. Not long after Tommy Piledriver was announced as a GOP spokesperson, he started making the rounds on cable news shows, Fox News in particular. The 6-year-old will even be hosting a show on Fox in the coming weeks, entitled, The World According to Tommy. If the clips I've seen are any indication, this show will rank right up there with the likes of Hannity and The O'Reilly Factor in terms of its intellect, honesty, and maturity. Here are a few of Tommy's quotes from the clips I saw:

- "Give me that cookie; it's mine! I built that!"

- "Girls are so much more stupider than boys! Like, duh!"

- "You think that toy is yours? Not anymore! Now it's mine, you moosher, musher, moocher, or whatever it is my dad always calls people!"

- "If I say the Earth is made of mac & cheese, it is! So there!"

- "Squirt guns don't kill people, you idiots!"

In light of this news, Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said, "I think this could go down as the most intelligent, thought-provoking show ever aired on Fox!"

Since Ailes publicly said those words, fact-checker PolitiFact has researched his claim and graded it "Mostly True."

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 ...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
