Georgia Representative Paul Broun does believe in a government handout after all!

Georgia Representative and man who may have been the main influence for Ozzy Osbourne's song "Crazy Train" - Paul Broun - is about as anti-government as nuns are anti-orgy. But a recent report may showcase that Broun isn't as anti-government handout as he'd like for people to believe.

On Broun's webpage, he wrote a short letter to his loony bin clientele, which stated the following:

"Dear Patriot -

As one of the most conservative members of Congress, and a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, I am constantly under attack for my values and beliefs.

Today I'm fighting back.

How would you like to start off 2014 with a brand new AR-15 for free?"

That's right, ladies and gentlemen! When it comes to expanding our healthcare system so more people can get taken care of without going bankrupt, Broun is a fierce opponent. However, when it comes to giving away a free semi-automatic rifle, the kind which was used to kill 20 6- and 7-year-old kids in Newtown, Connecticut in December of 2012, he's all for it! You know what I smell? A strong odor of family values - that's what!

Someone should respond to Broun's letter with something like this:

"Dear Idiot -

As a woman/minority/homosexual/Muslim/Atheist, I am constantly under attack for how I was born and for my beliefs.

Today I'm fighting back.

How would you like to start off 2014 with a swift kick in the backside?"

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 ...

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...
