"Jeffery" is the "Lord" of dumbassery

While I agree that every person should be afforded the right to possess and share their opinions, why does it seem cable news networks and talk radio programs hire the loudest, craziest individuals to share their insane viewpoints? Case and point, Jeffrey Lord of CNN. The cable news network's political commentator and Donald Trump butt-wiper just recently compared Donald Trump to Martin Luther King. His full quote is as follows:

"Think of President Trump as the Martin Luther King of healthcare. When I was a kid, President Kennedy did not want to introduce the civil rights bill because he said it wasn't popular, he didn't have the votes for it, et cetera. Dr. King kept putting people in the streets in harm's way to put the pressure on so that the bill would be introduced. That's what finally worked."

Apparently, Jeffrey Lord knows comparisons and logic about as well as Beethoven knew disco. Martin Luther King fought to provide millions of people with equal rights in this country. Donald Trump, on the other hand, as the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects, is fighting to take away healthcare from 20+ million people. Let's break that down even further. While MLK fought to improve the lives of millions, President Trump is fighting to worsen the lives of millions. Like I said, Lord seems to know comparisons and logic about as well as Adam Sandler knows Oscars.

Given Lord's logic, or lack there of, expect him to make the following statements in the future (if he hasn't already):

- "Donald Trump is the Gandhi of war."

- "United Airlines is the Mother Teresa of assault."

- "Pope Francis is the Christian Grey of lovers."

- "Charlie Sheen is the Virgin Mary of AIDS."

- "Jeffrey Lord is the William Shakespeare of CNN dumbassery."

Okay, so that last one might be true...

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...
