New comment on my book, "Trumplandia"

I just received the following comment on my book, "Trumplandia":

- "Okay, so I started reading your book again. I got to the part about fake photo, it was authenticated. Fake author thing. And then it goes into do no research, ask no questions, don't learn nothin' because learning will rot your brain.

You see this got me thinking about keeping people down. If they're not educated then they won't know of the injustices perpetrated against them. They're not ignorant just un-educated in order to keep them in a position that is beneficial to others but not them. In other words it made me think about slavery and how it was against the law to teach slaves how to read or write. It's easier to oppress a group of people if they are uneducated. If they are uneducated then they won't be able to question how they're being treated and used. Once they can read and write they can then see the injustices and start asking questions about how slavery is wrong. And then they'll want their freedom.

I know kinda deep but that's what that part of your book made me think about. Probably deeper than what you intended. But it fits!"

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 ...
