Superbowl, Ultimate Fighting Championship, Bush Sucks.

A stream of consciousness triggered by my more than pleasant first weekend as a thirty-oner.

Superbowl was a fine contest between two excellent teams. Each one wanted two win damn bad, both took risks. My brother thought that the game was a bit over-reffed, and I have to say that I agreed. Particualirly as NFL football is watched by the vast majority of its audience via the big-screen T.V. As a spectator at the field, when a flag get thrown there's at least a chance you know why - on television, and this flaw also reveals why so many of our fellow patriots have their head's up their asses, one's point of view is totally controlled by the cameras that are chosen to follow 'the action.' So we observe that early Seahawk reception in the endzone, then we hear Madden tell us there's been a flag thrown. We wait. . . Too many of those moments, that's all I'm say'n

Now for a sport that no one can say is over-reffed, check the UFC payper view that was broadcast last Saturday night. I won't try to summarize it here, but I'd say this quote by 'The Truth' does a fair job, 'Kick him in the head, knee him in the face, collect my check and go home.' I'm not sure how much our friend B- pays for that show, but it is some damn entertaining violence. Paris Hilton was in the audience, so you know that competition is getting classy. Two lessons we learned that night: If you want to be a champion you better be comfortable getting covered in the other guy's blood, and the fucker who looks the toughest with all his tats and brands might be all show. Some of these guys look like your worst nightmare from a prison rape movie, and other guys look the sort of dumpy fella you reackon just started at the Y last week. Always bet on Brazilian juijitsu.

Yet dispite all this groovy entertainments the full suckiness of Bush and the Republican agenda still manages to smudge up our nations's T.V. screens with their grimy fingers. More memo's released where Bush is telling Blair that he's going to invade Iraq even if he has to ignore the entire U.N., while he's telling the American people that he wants to do everything diplomatic he possibly can - force is the last option. Then that fucking budget bill that got passed last week. Whafuck? I guess my fellow citizen's don't care that our nation is racking up monsterous debts to China while we slash taxes on - here's an interesting example: If your next door neighbor was in denial about his addictions and maxing out all his credit cards to buy guns and ammunition, perhaps you'd start to feel he was going to be a problem soon.

Perhaps.

Comments:
I normally hate commercials and mute them as soon as they come on. However, the Super Bowl is "supposed to" have the creme de la creme. BS.
I do agree the magic fridge was another one the deserved a chuckle. Most sucked. This year, the game was better than the commercials. Except I think someone payed the ref's off, but hey, that couldn't happen here... not in this country.
