Now, I missed part of the first half (was driving to a family BBQ/Super Bowl party), but the second half was... well, kinda boring, until the 4th quarter. But I'm sure you already know all those details... the Giants took the lead, then the Pats take it back, and then Eli makes an incredible escape and Tyree makes an ungodly catch for a first down, and the rest is history...
Speaking of history, how's that 19-0 crown you New England fans have been gloating about all year? I mean, all fucking year? Greatest team ever? Ha. Just think - the Arizona Cardinals, the Denver Broncos, and even the Miami Dolphins - they all won the same number of super bowls as the Patriots won this year.
And just a little more gloating - I think it's funny that the Boston Herald had links up on Amazon.com where you could pre-order a book about the Patriots this year - it was called 19-0. Oddly enough, that's a broken link now. Awwww...
Anyway.
And then yesterday was "Super Tuesday." I dunno; it seemed like any other Tuesday to me, except I got to vote. And almost everything I voted for yesterday? Lost. If I voted for a prop to pass, it failed. If I voted for a prop to fail, it passed. I think there was maybe one prop where I was among the majority. Oh well. At least I voted.
Oh, and just really quick, I was reading a local article about the election, and was struck by one conservative's comment. Not on his stance on the issue (immigration), but on his comment (look for mochabean here, 5th comment down):
"McCain voted NO on making English the national language of our country.
Romney was the only candidate that would have secured our borders instead of rewarding the millions of people who come over here illegally by giving them amnesty.
Most of these candidates, Republican or Democrat, are total sell-outs to the American people. No wonder the illegals have it made now."
Now, put aside your stance on illegal immigration. Read that last sentence. "... sell-outs to the American people." Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't the government supposed to "sell-out" to the people? Aren't they supposed to do what we want? Aren't they public servants? I don't know what country he lives in, but our govt. is intended to be of the people, by the people, and for the people.
But, ah yes, no wonder the illegals have it made now. I see them buying up all the expensive property in and around San Diego, because "they've got it made." I always see them driving by in their Rolls Royces and Ferraris, all because the government sells out to the people, and now all the illegals have it made. They're just rolling in dough, and all because our govt. is failing us by... listening to us (and really, they're not, but why split hairs when arguing with someone who doesn't know who the govt. should serve?).
OK, I'm gonna go read about how the apocalypse is nigh, since Hilary won. (I don't agree with that sentiment - that's just what the local (conservative) paper says).
