The GOP candidates make their debate demands

Enraged that the CNBC moderators from a recent debate inquired about mistakes, criticisms, and inconsistencies they've made in their pasts, the 14 Republican presidential hopefuls teamed up with the party's top lawyer, Ben Ginsberg, to provide several demands the moderators must abide in all subsequent debates. Each of the 14 candidates provided one demand a piece. Here is the official list of those very demands:

George Pataki: "I demand to never again be asked gotcha questions about what my favorite smartphone app is."

Bobby Jindal: "I demand we start each debate with a prayer to God that we can repeal the totalitarian life-saving Obamacare!"

Rick Santorum: "I demand being allowed to sing hymns if we're ever approached with a question about gay stuff."

Lindsey Graham: "I do demand that the male moderators not be too demanding, because it kind of turns me on."

John Kasich: "I demand the moderators to keep asking tough questions to help show how crazy the rest of these unmedicated loony-bin breakouts are!"

Rand Paul: "I demand enough time during commercial breaks to fix my Chia-Pet hair."

Mike Huckabee: "I demand that it be permitted for Kim Davis to give me a back, neck, shoulders, and head massage throughout the proceedings."

Chris Christie: "I demand for it to be alright for my, um, bodyguards, to be at my side during the debate. This includes: Tony, Tommy, Johnny, Donny, Timmy, Jimmy, and Gus."

Carly Fiorina: "I demand no follow-up questions, fact-checking, nor any questions that involve specifics, especially numbers."

Jeb Bush: "I demand, whenever you call on me to answer one of your questions, you refer to me as, 'Jeb! Mr. Fix It Guy.'"

Ted Cruz: "I demand being allowed to read Dr. Seuss books if a question ever makes me angry."

Marco Rubio: "I demand an unlimited supply of water bottles, towels, and softball questions."

Ben Carson: "I demand not to be woken up if I fall asleep."

Donald Trump: "I demand not to be booed if I say things like, 'Gays are kind of queer,' "Women are bitches,' or 'Mexicans are Taco Bell rapist janitors,' especially if I end one of those facts with the words, 'No offense.'"

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 ...
