A hearty congratulations to our pals who root for Big Blue. I still don't quite know if I'll ever be able to understand the phrase "Elijah Manning: Super Bowl MVP", but there you have it. Of course, this also means I'll get to see more clips of the Bills losing Super Bowl XXV for the next year-ish. So it goes.
My heartfelt sympathies to our Pats fans friends and family. While your quest for glory was denied, some of you still can relish in more positive things -- like pitchers and catchers in two weeks and the addition of Sean Casey. Also, take heart in the fact that you probably won't lose the next three in a row as well, and that, unlike those Cowboys fans, you know that Giselle isn't to blame [that would be, in order: 1.) The Un-Viking-like offensive line. 2.) The red sweatshirt. 3.) Not kicking the damn field goal.].
Super Tuesday has come and gone, and it looks like things are still neck and neck. I'm guessing we won't have this thing decided for at least another month (but I can't help but wonder what might be different if you California fools didn't let over 40% of your votes be sent in 30 days ago...). It's exciting, to say the least -- but, naturally, I'm still apprehensive about the other side of the aisle. McCain seems to be a lock (Bush Pt. 3? Bush-Lite?), but the surprising performance of Huckabee raises an interesting conundrum -- will the Rev. Huck be tapped for VP? In light of some of his more 'colorful' ideas, that's freaking scary.
Church and state? Separation, schmeparation.
If all things were equal, I'd throw my weight behind our buddy, Brother Ben Wilson -- who celebrated a milestone birthday yesterday by announcing his candidacy for the Presidency. Anyone who can pull of a long-sleeved Breeders shirt and jean cut-offs is aces in my book. Send him any and all policy and campaign ideas.
Be well, and let's see if we can't get this messy little strike thing cleared up over the weekend, okay?
Thanks for the B-day notice and the campaign support! The inaugural Friday Party Inauguration Party on Friday was a terrific success! Spirits were definitely raised! Hopefully we'll be campaigning out NYC way sometime soon. Ben BenWilsonforPresidentinTwoThousandGREAT!
