Bowl on the Run


Although, granted, it's fairly difficult to approach a blog the day after the Superbowl and NOT talk about the Superbowl, I'm just the guy with the balls big enough to do it.

.......Really.

Plus, what's pseudo-intellectuality if you don't pretend to sooooo hate things that the public does en mass!!!! I mean Pirates of the Caribbean was nothing more than a dark vehicle to show special effects to entertain dumb people who like to watch squids talk. (Note-the author enjoyed that movie).

But here it is: my unabashedly super-free post (note the lack of bowl in that modifier) and it sits here wondering exactly what to discuss. Although, there is much floating about the world (pop and otherwise although who cares about anything but Britney) nothing, and i mean nothing, is catching my eye quite like the president's determination to convince the American people he is a bi-partisan guy. I mean, I flip on the television two days ago and I see him knee deep in all the Pelosi one person can (for physiological toxicity reasons) stomach in a year cracking jokes and wearing a, get this, GRAY, WORN SUIT.

I spent a couple seconds unfazed (thank you T.V for turning my life into a dull roar) but then it hit me. I was watching the President mingle with the democrats. Which of course wouldn't be that unusual if earlier that day I had seen Jesse Jackson hanging with Jesus lunching at the Neo-Nazi Veggie Deli, but since today isn't "No Fucking Way in Hell Day," I was a little taken aback.

Not that I didn't see this coming. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. Check these archives for further vindication (Second Note- I understand no one is going to check the archives). I understand the mandate the public pushed forth, it's just so unsettling. It's like i continue to wait for some celebrity to thank the band for coming and tell the T.V. audience how much they loved doing the show.

The Policy Wonk (what little there is) in me is intrigued. You have to wonder what this forced coupling could possibly breed. If logic serves it will probably be a harpy.

For actual political insight, perhaps stayed tuned to the next post, although Jazzy Jeff just released a new CD so, if I were placing a wager, I might anticipate a review being next. Your call.

Well, enjoy your day folks. I suppose I'll do the same. Keep the wheels grinding because I'm about to the tear the roof off.
