It's Donald Trump's goal to get 0% of the women's vote

Donald Trump has long struggled with the women's vote. Heck, that goes for the GOP in general. The Republican Party hasn't won the women's vote since 1988 when George H.W. Bush won that demographic by 2-points. In the six elections since then, Democrats have won the women's vote by a combined 61-points (average of 10.2-points per). With the Democratic Party featuring the first woman presidential nominee in this country's history, in conjunction with Trump's long history of sexist remarks, Clinton's current lead among women is 23-points. Given Trump's most recent move, it now appears as though he wants to expand that gap. In the past few weeks, there have been an increased number of reports of Roger Ailes sexually harassing women with whom he's worked. That number is up to at least 20. So what does Donald Trump decide to do after Ailes gets forced out of Fox News? Hire Ailes as an adviser to aid him in the coming debates with the first female presidential nominee in U.S. history, Hillary Clinton.

While Trump is at it, expect him to do the following before election day to expand the gap between he and Hillary Clinton even further:

- Replace running mate Mike Pence with Bill Cosby

- Change his slogan to "Make Titties Great Again"

- Start a voter outreach group entitled, "Gimme Some Mo' Broads and Hos"

- Alter his introductory and closing rally song to The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up"

- Just be himself

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...
