Donald Trump vs. a Crying Baby

The question of the day is, "How long can he go?" During his campaign, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has gone after the following demographics: Muslims, Mexicans, women, LGBTs, "the" blacks, the disabled, POWs, the press, immigrants, Jews, the other Republican candidates, Democratic candidates, fact-checkers, the current president and administration, former presidents and administrations, opponents' families, and now you can add babies to the seemingly never-ending list. At a recent rally in Ashburn, Virginia, Trump melt the need to comment about a crying baby in the audience, and started off in a pleasant tone, as he said the following:

"I love babies. I hear that baby cry, I like it. What a baby. What a beautiful baby. Don't worry, don't worry. The mom's running around, like, don't worry about it, you know. It's young and beautiful and healthy and that's what we want."

Not long after those comments, though, Trump changed his tune, saying, "Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking. That's OK. People don't understand. That's OK."

So, once again, we have to ask the question, "How low can he go?" I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear him utter one of these quotes at future rallies:

- "Aw, isn't that a cute little puppy dog? Okay, someone snap him to me like in that football sport thing and I'll punt him. Who wants to be the returner?"

- "Look at this old dude up front here. How old are you? 96? Jesus... Hold on, let me bust out my list of you're-so-old jokes. You're so old, you remember when Obama started The Great Depression! Bam!"

- "How far along are you? Eight months? Hey, everybody, let's play a new game, called 'The Pregnant Punching Bag.' This is gonna be a lot of fun - good clean, family fun, folks - believe me."

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

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 ...
