GOP Candidate Political Ads...as I would like to see them...

Rick Santorum
"I'm a good gay-fearing, Jesus-loving, well-off, conservative family fan who is fearful of getting off. I oppose sex education. I oppose safe sex. I oppose abortion. It's pretty simple math and logic when you don't think about it. If we teach our children about all of the possible end results of having sex, they'll probably resort to using contraceptives for safe sex. With an increase in contraception-use, there too will be an increase in unwanted pregnancies and with that, abortions. It'd be like in baseball - if a batter hits a ball forward, he's more likely to have just struck out than someone who swung at strike three. I'm Rick Santorum and I approve this message. Unlike safe sex, be safe and vote for me."

Mitt Romney
"The liberal media wants you to believe I don't know what I want. Believe me, I know what I want. I want you to like me. I want you to like me when I'm pro-life and pro-choice, when I'm pro- and anti-Planned Parenthood, when I support my healthcare plan and reject President Obama's identical version of it. Like I said, I know what I want - I want you to like me. I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message, unless you don't, then I don't either."

Ron Paul
"I don't believe in government. It spends too much money and has too much power. It never gets anything done. Make me the leader of our government and I'll make sure to keep an eye on it and continue to make sure nothing gets done. Every bill I get on my desk will be vetoed. Just because a person doesn't believe in government, doesn't mean he shouldn't be the leader of it. I'm Ron Paul and I approve this message, disapprove of government and approve being elected to rule the government that I disapprove."

Newt Gingrich
"I'm not a nice man. We don't want a nice man as our president. We want foreign leaders to be afraid of our president. Trust me, with a name like Newt, they'll be afraid of me. Think about it. Women don't like me. I've been married three times. Black, Mexicans, bearded ladies and slugs don't like me either. The most important people - old white men - are the only ones that like me. Let me tell you, after I'm elected and serve seven terms as your president, I will have flown to the moon in a hot-air balloon, lived on the moon for one term, made polygamy legal and will re-marry my two ex-wives and marry four more. Elect me and perhaps I'll marry you too. I'm Newt Gingrich and I approve this message. Elect me and erect me."

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...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

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 ...
