Birther Sean Hannity claims birther Donald Trump is getting birther-ized

Apparently Sean Hannity knows similes like Motley Crue groupies know abstinence, for he recently said this:

"Democrats, members of the destroy-Trump media will not stop pushing this phony Russia-Trump collusion narrative despite no evidence. This has now become, like, Russia-Trump conspiracy, birther conspiracies, you know? Sort of truthers." 

No, they're not alike at all actually. It's not even an apples-and-oranges argument. It's more like an apples-and-Old-Country-Buffet argument. Sean Hannity, Donald Trump and other birthers felt that then President Barack Obama's birth certificate was forged. That claim was debunked time and time again, yet they still had doubts about its authenticity. There was never any FBI investigation on whether or not Obama was a legalized citizen of this country. There were never any hearings held by the Senate Intelligence Committee, where Obama Cabinet appointees were inquired about whether or not they had heard anything regarding the debunked claim that the former president had been born in Kenya. A special counsel was never appointed to delve deeper into the mystery that was Barack Obama's birth certificate. There was never serious chatter about possibly impeaching Obama due to the debunked theory that he was not born in this country. President Obama showcased his birth certificate; it was proven to not have been a forgery; and Hawaii even further proved this point by displaying the president's birth in a state newspaper. Like Keyser Soze would say, "...and like that, it (the conspiracy theory) was gone..."

That's not the case with Russiagate. It'd be a more accurate statement to say Russiagate is the antithesis of birtherism than to say the two are in any way similar. The FBI has gotten involved. The Senate Intelligence Committee has held hearings. A special counsel has been appointed. Trump and the rest of his inner-circle have hired lawyers. Donald Trump's personal lawyer has even hired an attorney. From the sounds of it, the investigation is just starting. So no, Mr. Hannity, Russiagate isn't like birther conspiracies. If anything, Russiagate is similar to Watergate, whereas birtherism is similar to me claiming Sean Hannity used to be a woman who went by the name Madea Spamalot. Like I said at the outset, Sean Hannity knows similes like Charlie Sheen knows sobriety.

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...
