The definition of cray-cray: Radio host Rick Wiles

I've heard plenty of ridiculous arguments supporting legislation which bars transgenders from using public bathrooms of the gender with which they identify, but none were nearly as asinine as the one I read today. If you don't believe me, read what right-wing talk show host Rick Wiles recently said about the matter:

"How about if I just urinate on your floor (Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder)? How about that, Molly? Because you're defecating on this nation. ... Our minds are being capture, Doc, by perverts (directed toward co-host Doc Burkhart). This is what happened in Germany. The Nazis were perverts. They took over Germany. It was a radical, socialist, homosexual movement called the Nazi Socialist Party. They're now in control of America, and sane people better rise up and oppose it quickly. This is just the beginning. ... It's either shut down Target or their type is going to shut down this nation, because there's no end to their insanity and their immorality and their wickedness. ... Doc, God is going to use the Russians to bring down Sodom and Gomorrah if there's no repentance in this land. Listen, these freaks are going to get us all killed. They're going to get us all killed. ... When there is a nuclear war, we all die. Now, those of us who are saved are going to go home to be with the Lord. Those who are unsaved are going to burn in hell. But we're all going to die in a nuclear war thanks to the sodomites that are in control of this nation right now. ... Show me a country in history that has gone down this road and survived. There's not one example. There's not one example in thousands of years of human history of a nation turning from God and becoming a sodomite nation and then going on to be great. Not one nation."

First off, I love how Wiles starts his rant: "How about if I just urinate on your floor? How about that, Molly? Because you're defecating on this nation." The man's a poet. When he asked a woman out for the first time, I imagine he said something like, "So, what's it going to be, Adrian? Are you going to go to the movies with me or just sh*t on my chest? Huh? Huh? Huh?" It's a shame the man wasn't one of the many authors of the Bible. Jesus likely just facepalmed himself at the thought of that.

Moving past Mr. Wiles' smooth opening, the man goes off the deep end to such a grand extent with his argument, he makes the middle of the ocean look like a baby pool. Not only does he go cuckoo for conspiracy theories, but he's also historically inaccurate. Late last year, fact-checker Politifact researched Texas state Representative Jason Villalba's claim that like Bernie Sanders, Nazis were Democratic Socialists. Guess what they graded that claim? Pants on Fire. In addition to that, the Nazis were not overrun by homosexuals. As a matter of fact, they persecuted homosexuals. So, ironically enough, in this scenario, Rick Wiles has more in common with the Nazis than homosexuals do, because like the Nazis, Wiles is persecuting homosexuals. Lastly, what percentage of the U.S. population does Rick Wiles think identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender? He makes it sound like President Obama, Vice President Biden, and 90% of Congress are LGBTs, when Gallup found last year that only 3.8% of people in this country identify as LGBT.

So, let's go over things one more time...

Wiles' claim: The Nazis were socialists

Truth: This claim is so ridiculous, Politifact graded it as Pants on Fire false


Wiles' claim: The Nazis were homosexuals

Truth: The Nazis persecuted homosexuals (yes, this could be ruled as Pants on Fire as well)


Wiles' claim: This country is being ruled by sodomites

Truth: Just 3.8% of the population identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (Pants on Fire yet again)


Rick Wiles may want to spend less time obsessing over crimes the LGBT community are not committing and instead focus more on stocking up on fire extinguishers due to his seemingly constant pants-on-fire lies. He may also want to read his Bible again, because he makes it sound like it's been a while...

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 ...
