GOP promises to protect country from Muslim unicorns

After North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory decided it was time to sign a bill preventing the nonexistent problem of transgender individuals using public restrooms of the gender with which they identify, House Republicans became inspired to tackle other such issues.

Earlier today, House Speaker Paul Ryan made this announcement before the press:

"Before making this big announcement, I want to first thank Governor McCrory for his leadership, his morality, and perhaps most importantly, his vision - his vision for seeing things that aren't really there but could be if we try really really hard, using binoculars, while tripping on acid. Without him leading the way, I honestly don't believe anyone in the Republican-led House would have come up with our new one-of-a-kind idea to make America great again. Now that we got that out of the way, let me get to the meat of this announcement. After other House Republicans and I got together, sat down, and really thought about things for at least fifteen seconds, we decided that the best way to move this great nation forward is to pass a bill temporarily banning Muslim unicorns from entering this country. I know some people will claim we're being anti-First Amendment and anti-Muslim, but that's not true at all. We're simply pro-safety and pro-security. Let me ask you all something, would you ever want your young daughter to be alone with a Muslim unicorn? Honestly? You didn't even though about it once, did you? Well, we thought about it, probably too much, but regardless, we don't like these visuals we get of our 7-year-old girls being approached by Muslim unicorns. Go ahead and read all the debunked stories about these creatures on the Internets and I'm sure you too will feel similarly frightened. Thank you. God bless you and God bless the United States of America."

After listening to Speaker Ryan's speech, Cheech and Chong tweeted, "What in the hell has that guy been smoking?"

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 ...
