Ann Coulter thinks the two parties are the same

On a recent episode of the Fox News show The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, conservative commentator and inspirer of the creatures in Alien - Ann Coulter - said this:

"They (Republicans) were exposed as a 'uniparty,' indistinguishable from the Democrats..."

Let's break down just how similar the parties are:

- Democrats believe in women's reproductive rights; Republicans don't.

- Democrats believe in equal pay for equal work; Republicans don't.

- Democrats believe in immigration reform and protecting DREAMers; Republicans don't.

- Democrats believe in building from the bottom up; Republicans believe in trickle-down economics.

- Democrats believe in tax reform benefitting the middle- and lower-classes at the expense of the upper-class; Republicans believe in tax reform benefitting the upper-class at the expense of the middle- and lower-classes.

- Democrats believe in expanding education; Republicans believe in removing education funds.

- Democrats believe in science and protecting the environment; Republicans don't.

- Democrats believe guns should be taken out of the hands of violent and mentally ill individuals, as well as terrorists; Republicans don't.

- Democrats believe in equal rights, regardless of a person's age, gender, race, creed, or orientation; Republicans don't.

- Democrats believe in expanding voting rights; Republicans don't.

Need I continue? Ann Coulter may not like the direction in which her Republican Party, but while she may also loathe the Democratic Party, that doesn't make the two equal. Just because I don't like cigarettes and don't care for Limp Bizkit, that doesn't make the two equal. Ann Coulter may want to take a Critical Thinking course and come up with a more rational explanation.

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 ...
