South Carolina state Senator Lee Bright's last name is quite misleading

Approximately 3 weeks after white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-Americans at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, South Carolina lawmakers finally debated whether or not to remove the Confederate flag from the state Capitol today.

How did the festivities begin? With Republican state Senator Lee Bright going on a crazy rant which could very well land him in the loony bin for at least 24 hours, of course. It went a little something like this:

"I watch the White House be lit up in the abomination colors! It is time for the church to rise up... Romans chapter 1 is clear, the Bible is clear. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and they are under assault by men in black robes who were not elected by you. ... Our governor called us in to deal with the flag that sits out front, let's deal with the national sin that we face today! We talk about abortion but this gay marriage thing, I believe will be one nation gone under like President Reagan said. If we're not one nation under God, we'll be one nation gone under. And to sanctify deviant behavior from five judges, it's time for us to make our stand, church! It's time to make our stand and we're not doing it. We can rally together and talk about a flag all we want but the devil is taking control of this land and we're not stopping him! Now, I believe that the Christ teaches us to love the homosexual, but he also teaches us to stand in the gap against sin. And we need to make our stand. I know how people of all colors feel about this. Let's find some way to deal with marriage. If we're not going to find some way to deal with marriage like our forefathers did or push back against a tyrannical government like the founders of this nation did, let's at least not put these citizens in South Carolina in a position where they've got to choose between their faith and their jobs."

Yes, when debating about whether or not to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state Capitol, Lee Bright ranted about homosexuality, the legalization of gay marriage in particular. Like I said, his last name is quite misleading. Lee Loony, Lee Douche, Lee Insanity, or Lee Nutty would have been much more fitting. Well, given this crazy rant, I imagine Lee (not so) Bright would make these statements when asked to debate the following topics:

Subject: The designated hitter rule in baseball

Bright: "When I hear the word designated hitter, seven words immediately come to mind: Global warming hoax! I could say more, but I don't think any more needs to be said!"


Subject: Twitter

Bright: "No, I don't do Tweeter, just like I don't do abortions! Planned Parenthood tweets about abortions all the time and that just ain't right! I don't like Planned Parenthood, don't like abortions, and don't like Tweeter!"


Subject: Rap music

Bright: "The only people that speak as fast as rappers are those illegal immigrant Mexican people - you know, them and their Spanglish! They're stealing jobs away from good hard-working people like you and me! Fact!"


Subject: Porn

Bright: "Yeah, I went to high school porn. That was one of the best days of my life! Sometimes I wish I could travel back in time and go do the porn thing every day!"


Subject: Christianity

Bright: "I'll put this as simply as I can: Providing equal marriage rights for gay couples is tyranny, but forcing the Christian religion down the throats everyone in this country is equality!"


No, Lee Bright he is not...

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...
