GOP questions Obama's birth certificate, claims Israel's Netanyahu is their real president

In an odd move made by the Republican Party, following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress on Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner made the following announcement:

"This speech, this day will go down in the history books, because on this day we finally discovered who our real president is, and that's my friend, Bibi Netanyahu!"

The announcement came a little over six years after President Barack Obama was sworn into the Oval Office and a little over three minutes after a Republican had last said, "We all know you're from Kenya, Obama! Show us your birth certificate again! The real one this time and not all those fake other ones!"

Nationwide, Republicans applauded the big announcement, with some of the better known ones saying this: 

- "Bibi is a type of gun and I like guns, so I like Bibi Netanyahu." - musician Ted Nugent

- "I've said it before and I'll say it again, Barack Obama doesn't love America. You know who does? Benjamin Netanyahu. Bibi loves this country just about as much as I love my cousins!" - former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani

- "Something always seemed foreign about Obama, but that's certainly not the case with the dude from Israel!" - Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson

The Republican National Committee joined the celebration, as they released this statement: 

"For as much as we stand by the fact we're the party of freedom and democracy, and for as much as we believe racism is over in this country, we'd much rather have an American-looking foreigner than a foreign-looking American as president of this country - the United States of America - the greatest country in the history of the world!"

In response to all of this, President Obama said his next order of business is to convince Congress to strengthen educational standards in the subject of geography all across the country. At last check, Congressional Republicans were looking up the word "geography" in the dictionary.

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...
