GOP Presidential Candidates' New Year's Resolutions

With New Year's right around the corner, I thought I'd provide some fitting resolutions for every GOP presidential candidate from this election season (yes, all 17 of them). Here they are in alphabetical order:

Jeb Bush - To not place a "Mission  Accomplished" banner behind him during a speech when he's in 5th place

Ben Carson - To sound more exciting than a passed out Ben Stein when debating

Chris Christie - To release an autobiography, entitled, I'm the Real Godfather, Motherf**kers!

Ted Cruz - To quote every word from the film A Princess Bride while again trying to convince Congress to repeal Obamacare

Carly Fiorina - To write a children's book, entitled, What Planned Parenthood Could Have Done To You

Jim Gilmore - To be known by more than 43 people in the country

Lindsey Graham - To dispel gay rumors by dressing in camo and hunting bears in the woods, all the while fanning himself and singing showtunes

Mike Huckabee - To photoshop all his photos with Josh Duggar by replacing his face with Jared Fogle's

Bobby Jindal - To start a new series, entitled, America's Most Awkward Home Videos

John Kasich - To dedicate the Puddle of Mudd song, "Psycho," to Donald Trump on the radio

George Pataki - To do the inevitable and start a new Italian restaurant

Rand Paul - To write a book, entitled, How To Make Your Hair Like A Chia Pet

Rick Perry - To learn how to count to 5

Marco Rubio - To develop some roadie fangirls who will get him two coolers of water at the snap of his fingers

Rick Santorum - To alter his name to something a little less unsettling for him - Sanitarium

Donald Trump - To start a zoo featuring all the animals that have lived on his head, calling it, "Trump's Dump"

Scott Walker - To renew vows with his wife so long as she swears she would have voted for him had he been the party's nominee

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.

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.

That's the thing with TouchTun...

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.

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 ...
