Conservatives keep pushing for women's votes with the "Boats 'N Hoes" PAC

The GOP's "outreach" for the women's vote is getting to the point where they've dug themselves such a hole, some people have walked by and mistaken it for the Grand Canyon (yes, these people may have been drunk, but still...).

The latest GOP gaffe with regard to the War on Women comes courtesy of Shaun Nowacki - comptroller for Blakemore & Associates - who registered a PAC with the Texas Ethics Commission earlier this month. What is the name of this PAC? The Boats 'N Hoes PAC. No, that's not a joke. While it has been reported that this PAC will be dissolved today, that still doesn't detract from the fact that it existed and is just another in a stunningly long line of GOP blunders with regard to women.

Given this PAC's name and the GOP's vile history when it comes to women's rights, here are the names of some other likely future GOP PACs:

- Bitc*es 'N Hoes

- Birth Control Sluts

- Trampy McTrampington

- Make Me a Sandwich

- Men's Brains Are Twice the Size of Yours

- Like Pregnancy is Hard

- We've Gotta Fight For Our Right to Make More...Than Women

- Binders Full of Women

- Shutting That Whole Thing Down

- Suck It


It's really a wonder what the GOP will do if (and when) we elect a woman as president in 2016...

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 ...
