GOP House passes car insurance reform

In a surprise move on Monday, House Republicans voted to reform car insurance. The bill, called, "The No Drive No Problem Act," makes it simultaneously easier for those without automobiles and more difficult for those with automobiles to purchase car insurance. Here's what House Speaker Paul Ryan had to say about the bill:

"This could be called the Common Sense Act, because some things just make sense, and this is one of those things. Have a car? Why should you have car insurance? Don't have a car? Here's your car insurance. It's as simple as that."

Up next on the slate for the GOP-led House is to pass a bill which forces the homeless to pay for mortgages of homeowners. While it's predicted this bill, "Homeless Homes," will easily pass in the House, the chances are slim it will pass in the Senate.

With regard to this bill, President Donald Trump said, "This will be a yuge win, people! What better, more smarter way to spend money than to make those without it spend it on those who do? This is gonna be just fantastic, tremendous, unbelievable, 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...

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 ...
