The Top Ten Romney Zingers

As has been reported in recent days, it appears as if Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is focusing his attention more on zingers than anything else in preparation for his first debate with President Obama on Wednesday night.

The following was written in the New York Times on Friday:

"Mr. Romney’s team has concluded that debates are about creating moments and has equipped him with a series of zingers that he has memorized and has been practicing on aides since August. His strategy includes luring the president into appearing smug or evasive about his responsibility for the economy."

In light of this bit of news, I thought I'd be kind and attempt to help out Mr. Romney with these very zingers. 

The Top Ten Romney Zingers

10. ::speaking to Obama:: "Wanna bet? $2 million? $2 million that I have more houses than you?"

9. "I even know gay guys that are jealous of my hair!"


8. "Unlike the President here, the only time I've ever flip-flopped is when I said I didn't, which is what I'm doing right now!"

7. "So what if I don't care about 47% of the country? Only 47% of the country like Obama!"

6. "If either of us is a believer in woman's rights, it's me! As a Mormon and unlike Obama, I believe women should be afforded the right to give their bodies to men with other wives!"

5. "Under this President, the unemployment rate is still above 8%. That's more than I pay in taxes!"

4. "Obama may have killed one bin Laden, but I've killed more jobs!"

3. "Who let the dogs out? Unlike Obama, who was busy eating them, I put mine on the roof of my car!"

2. "Obama says he's creating jobs. Well, Mr. President, I'm unemployed and only making $20 million. Where's my job?"

1. (::drum roll::) "Obamacare? You didn't build that, Mr. President! I did!"

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!

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 ...
