Don Jr. teaches his daughter about what he believes socialism to be...

Donald Trump Jr. continues to showcase that the "bigly" stupid gene runs in the family, as he has again illustrated he knows as much about socialism as a dog named Lucky knows about kama sutra. On Halloween, the president's son tweeted a picture of his daughter Chloe holding up a half full/half empty bowl of candy, adding the words, "I'm going to take half of Chloe's candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It's never to early to teach her about socialism."

Apparently there is such a thing as TOO late to teach him about socialism, well, and English/spelling. Let me get this straight; on a day when kids all over the country knock on neighbors' and strangers' doors, asking for free candy, Don Jr. stealing half that candy from his own daughter and giving it to a kid at home is an example of socialism? As Mandy Patinkin said in The Princess Bride, "I do not think that word means what you think it means."

Let's break this down even further:

Step 1
Donald Trump Jr. takes his daughter out trick-or-treating, asking for free handouts (candy), and that's perfectly acceptable.

Step 2
Donald Trump Jr. takes half of his daughter's free handouts (candy) and calls it socialism.

Conclusion: Donald Trump Jr. doesn't know what socialism is and he's a cold-hearted jerk.

Based on that rationale (or lack of it), I predict Don Jr. will utter the following to his daughter at some point:

- "I'm gonna loan you millions of candies, let you run out six times, & then call you a good businessperson."

- "Okay, now pretend these pieces of candy are your papa's tax returns. That's it. Probably no ketchup this time."

- "You? 100 Skittles. Give me your reds. Doll? 2 Skittles. No reds to give. That's taxes. Not fair, is it?"

- "I bought this Milky Way. I have to eat it. I can't throw or give it away. I have no choice. So, yeah, abortion."

- "These two jelly beans don't belong together. Let's call them Adam & Steve. Now let's eat Adam & Steve. Yum."

- "Let's say these Starburst cure cancer. If everyone had one, that'd be bad, because, you know, death panels."

- "Go ahead & hit me with that gummy bear. Ow! That could've killed me! This is why we can't have gun control."

- "If you want a special kind of candy, ask papa to call Uncle Vlady & he'll get it for you. That's democracy."

- "Give me all your candy. In due time, some of this candy will trickle down to you. Isn't that cool?"

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 ...
