Football and Politics: Clash of the Titans

It's Super Bowl football madness weekend!

And politics.

On both fronts, we're going to get a clash of the Titans.

Super Bowl Football: Patriots versus Giants!

Presidential Politics:
  • Dems: Hillary versus Obama!
  • GOP: McCain versus Romney!
I knew that the number of candidates will drop quickly, but I really liked the entire chaotic mess of all those crazy politicians running to the first primaries. Now we're left only with the 2 real possibilities for both sides.

(Besides, I'm now sick and tired of the Billary 2-headed Clinton monster -- and more sick of Bill being an attack dog who can neither control himself nor stop hogging the spotlight for himself. He seems to think this election is all about him. He's also lost all his charm; his vitriol and poisonous attacks sound increasingly shrill, desperate, and divisive to his own party. His attack on Kennedy for the Kennedy endorsement of Obama was ugly -- and I found it amusing to see two old Washington power-elite establishment camps fighting over Obama the "new guy." You can't get a more old-power, Washington-aristocrat, insider establishment name than Clinton or Kennedy. As for Hillary the Feminist -- wait, feminist? Some kind of feminist! She's depending on her husband to do the dirty work of attacking Obama, while she's using the Clinton brand and clout to push herself on. On this campaign, she's depending on . . . her man!)

I think I'll have more fun watching the football, actually. The Super Bowl commercials, I hope, will be good. And if not, well, Super Bowl watching is really about food and friends. Better than politics! Besides, delicious hot wings!

Besides, I'd MUCH rather watch the Patriots and the Giants play the game than watch the venom-spouting 2-headed Clinton monster attempt to eat cheerful Obama in the name of "progress." Besides, Eli Manning and Tom Brady are easy on the eyes . . . especially eyes sore from too much nerd-reading. *attempt at schoolgirl giggle*

Have a great weekend, everyone!
