Win Ben Stein's Rubles

Actor, game show host, and right-wing nut job known to put people on speed asleep after talking for 2 minutes - Ben Stein - is at his wacky ways yet again. When speaking on the Fox Business channel, Stein said the following:

"We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things."

He added:

"It's not about ordering people around, putting them in concentration camps. What do you do if a person is a richer or poorer person? What do you do? Do you take him away? Do you shoot him? Well, that's what the communists tried, it didn't work very well for them."

Really? Stein really wants to go there? He really wants to compare a democratic socialist to Hitler when he is an avid supporter of Donald Trump?

So Hitler wanted to give everyone an equal opportunity at voting? He wanted everyone to be healthy? He wanted to help improve the livelihoods of those in the lower- and middle-classes? He wanted everyone to be seen as equals in the eyes of the law? Yeah, that sounds EXACTLY like Hitler, doesn't it? On the flip-side, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez got elected on the promise she'd imprison and kill 6 million members of a particular religion, right? Uh-huh...

In the real world, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is about as close to Adolf Hitler in their world views as China and Wyoming are in terms of population. If Stein wants to talk about dictator-like tendencies, he should look no further than the man he currently worships - President Donald Trump. Here's a guy who continually tries to shut out the media and regularly attempts to discredit them. On an almost daily basis, he showcases that he feels he's above the law. The man thinks he has the power to do anything. He's banned people from entering the U.S. based upon their religion. But yeah, let's compare the 29-year-old Congresswoman from the Bronx to a dictator all the while the president continues behaving like one. Ben Stein proves yet again that denial isn't just a river in Egypt - that and he's likely currently being paid in rubles. On that note, perhaps he should start a new show, entitled, Win Ben Stein's Rubles.

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

Due to some tweets of mine, I got mentioned on the following two sites (all my tweets can be viewed here -  https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki ): https://crooksandliars.com/2019/04/trump-gives-stupid-advice-george https://hinterlandgazette.com/2019/03/istandwithschiff-is-trending-after-donald-trump-led-gop-attack-on-adam-schiff-backfires-spectacularly.html

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 ...
