This week in trending Twitter hashtags

It's been a fairly uneventful week on the trending-Twitter-hashtag front for me, but I thought I'd share what I posted anyway. Here are my tweets, ordered from the most to the least popular (all my tweets can be viewed here: https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):

1) Headline: "Trump says he's directing Pentagon to create a new 'space force'"
If this results in Trump going to and finding a new home in space, I'm all for it.

2) It can't be any coincidence that Donald Trump's birthday coincides with #NationalBourbonDay, for whenever I'm reminded of Trump being president, I'm tempted to drink bourbon.

3) Yes, Trump is lying whenever he moves his lips, but the guy is such a chronic liar, he's found a way to constantly lie even when he's not speaking. Whether he's speaking, sleeping, praying, or golfing, he's lying.

4) Don't resort to Fox News, Breitbart, WorldNetDaily, or your crazy Uncle John's conspiracy-laden chain emails for information.

7) #LauraIngraham: "Detention centers are like summer camps."

Yes, because the most common question to ask kids is, "So what was your favorite moment from summer detention center?"

8) #TuckerCarlson: "People speaking up against America detaining children in cages just want to change your country forever."

Yes, because detaining children in cages is definitely one way to make America great again...

9) GOP:
"We believe the children are our future,
Detain them well and lock them in cages,
Show them all the beauty they miss outside,
Give them a sense of spite,
To make them hate easier,
Let their crying remind us of the crisis actors we see."

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 ...
