A Majority of Republicans Support a Sexual Predator on the Supreme Court

So I read through a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll's findings today. Here were some of the early documented results:

- 58% of Americans claim they'll pay close or very close attention to the Brett Kavanaugh/Christine Blasey Ford hearing tomorrow.

- 32% believe Ford; 26% believe Kavanaugh; and 42% aren't sure who to believe.

- 38% support Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, while 43% oppose it.

- 59% oppose Kavanaugh's nomination if the sexual misconduct allegations are found to be true.

- 37% are more likely to vote for a politician in the midterms who opposes Kavanaugh's nomination, while 32% are more likely to go the opposite route.

That's when we get to the big finding, the finding which should send shockwaves to some people. According to this reputable pollster, a majority, 54% of Republicans think Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed as the next Supreme Court Justice regardless of whether or not the sexual misconduct allegations are true.

Let that sink in for a moment. Brett Kavanaugh allegedly attempted to rape Christine Blasey Ford; stuck his genitals in the face of Deborah Ramirez; tried making women vulnerable to gang rape; and physically assaulted a woman.

Combine the allegations with what a majority of Republicans reportedly believe. They're essentially saying the following:

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh tried to rape a woman, he should be on the Supreme Court."

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh rubbed his junk on a woman's face without her consent, he should be on the Supreme Court."

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh tried to make women vulnerable to gang rape, he should be on the Supreme Court."

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh physically attacked a woman, he should be on the Supreme Court."

Yeah, remember when the GOP said the War on Women was a hoax? They've disproved that claim to infinity and beyond with this new poll result. It's about time they actually listen to women and stop blaming them for their own faults.

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 ...
