The New York Football Giants are in the Super Bowl. In other words, nothing else exists in my universe today. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t entertain you. For example, do you remember Beetlejuice? Of course you do.
I would be excited if the Giants were playing the Buffalo Bills or the Cincinnati Bengals or the Jacksonville Jaguars today. But they’re not. They’re playing the best franchise in the game and probably the best coach and quarterback of all time. I’ll be disappointed if the Giants lose, but I won’t be mad. All I expect of the Giants is that they make the playoffs every year. I just want at least one playoff game to watch. They’ve already exceeded my expectations. But if they beat Brady and the Patriots a second time, I’ll be in a good mood for weeks.
Patriots’ Day is already a holiday.

Not to be confused with Patriot Day.

I’m no fan of the Giants, but I loathe the Patriots..
so….
GO GIANTS!!
It should be close if it plays out to recent form. If it is, it will be very interesting to see who hangs on or pulls it out at the end. I guess I lean a little towards the Pats (Brady and U of M), but either way it goes, I hope no one gets hurt and it is a clear win.
Here’s something to get in the mood:
Today I’m for the Giants…and the Indiana union workers opposing the new right-to-work law.
I’m hoping RTW for less will at least give us an added boost come time to GOTV in the fall. We’re back in the Gilded Age here, waiting for the next Samuel Gompers to show up.
less than 3 hours till Greg Brady bats a slam dunk in one!
or is it Payton Place that plays shortstop for the Patriops? i always get them confused with the Hill Street Blues.
Hill Street Blues?!? You’re making me feel old!! 😉
you ARE old.
so am I.
How?
The Halftime Show.
Magnificent. Including the “World Peace” ending.
Uplifting.
Perfectly rehearsed.
Marvelously performed.
Amazingly organized.
The best Super Bowl halftime ever!!!
And absolutely false.
All pre-recorded, all adjusted to eliminate human error. Clones and drones, dancing.
America 2012.
False as Madonna’s hair color.
False as geriatric Dirty Harry hyping Chrysler and Detroit.
False as Obama’s populism.
Nice.
America.
Love it or loathe it. Yer stuck with it no matter what.
I keep longing for a little Cairo action, but it ain’t gonna happen.
Too well behaved, we are.
So it goes.
Down like a motherfucker.
Watch.

It took thirty years of worse to worser for Egyptians to lose the fear factor. Prior to January 25, 2011, Egyptians looked as apathetic as current Americans.
Give us another couple of years.
Unless things turn around enough so there is a more prosperous and happy middle class. Then all bets are off for much change.
Frogs boil slowly.
Sorry, man.
Seen it and seen it.
I was in Egypt “prior to January 25, 2011.” I called it then. They weren’t “apathetic”…as are Americans…they were simply scared stiff.
I called it.
I can’t call it here.
Why?
Apathy doesn’t revolt.
It is just revolting.
So it goes.
Down like a motherfucker!!!
Bet on that as well.

Golly, Dr. Pangloss was right. This is the best of all possible worlds–available to us.
No. Pangloss was wrong. It is the only “possible world.”
As is each of our individual decisions to resist, cooperate or simply give up.
So it goes.
It all works out as it must.
Bet on it.
I am.
