Hank Williams Jr. Hates Intelligence

Country singer Hank Williams Jr. was known for a long time as the guy who asked the nation, "Are you ready for some football?" preceding Monday night football games. However, in the past year or so, he's become more well known for his anti-Obama rants. The reason ESPN pulled his song off the air for the Monday night games was because of a comparison he made between Obama and Hitler on Fox and Friends.

Not long ago in Iowa, Williams went off on the president toward the end of his set. Well, Hank Williams Jr. is at it again. At the Stockyard Music Festival Sunday in Dallas, Texas, Williams said the following:

"We've got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him!"

Let's run down the list of claims:

Muslim? No, Obama is not a Muslim. This has been debunked several times. (0 for 1)

Hates cowboys? I'm not sure where Mr. Williams got this, but never has the president said he disliked cowboys through words or actions. (0 for 2)

Hates cowgirls? This is getting more and more ridiculous. (0 for 3)

Hates fishing? I have never heard of the president talk about his love for fishing, but have never heard him say he hates it either. (0 for 4)

Hates farming? Once again, I've never heard or seen him act in such a manner. It'd be politically stupid to speak or show hatred for farming. (0 for 5)

Loves gays? He has come around to fully support gays rights, but I'm not sure that can be construed as "loving" them. (0.5 for 6)

There we have it! I will give Hank Williams Jr. a half a point out of a possible six, which brings him in at an 8.3%. Hank Williams Jr. may hate Obama, but there's another thing he hates just as much, if not more - intelligence!

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 ...
