There are those that believe...

That life here, began out there.

Here's a nice video about some kids that are way smarter than I will ever be. We'll all be working for them some day soon.

Oh What A Rush

And now a message from the more Progressive side of our great nation. I'd bet you won't find this clip on Fox News.

Manning Up

So with Peyton Manning's career in Indy officially over, the Manning watch is on. Last night he visited Denver and this morning is still there. Word on the street, is that from Denver he'll fly to Zona, and then on to Miami.

As a Seattle Seahawk fan I'm hoping he signs with the 'Phins. Not because I'm afraid of what would happen if he went to the Cardinals (I'm not). I want Peyton in South Beach because that means that Seattle will be a solid front runner for Matt Flynn.

Don't get me wrong. Peyton is a first ballot Hall of Famer. But he's also 36 years old. I'm looking for a guy that can still be a quality starter 4 years from now. I'm not convinced that Peyton will be that guy at the age of 40. Not many play that long and he's got no reason to do so. So for my money, I want Flynn here in the Northwest.

As for Miami and the fans of Philben's Phins...

The Chant Ends With "Get Used To It"

Congratulations to California. Today Proposition 8 was overturned.

Sort of.

I say sort of because what really happened was closer to the
courts saying, “how in the hell did you guys let this thing pass to begin with?”

If you haven’t been paying close attention to this story it’s
been a little goofy and confusing but here’s the short version.

Once upon a time, some folks got together and decided that
it would be sorta nice if gay people could get married too. Some of them lived in California so they
worked hard to get it approved and oh what a glorious day it was. We’ll call them “The Happy Peeps” since gay
literally means happy.

Then some other folks got together and decided that it
really made them feel bad about themselves to know that “The Gays” were getting
married just like normal god fearin folk. After all, it’s really unnatural, and not what God intended. Let’s call this group “The Dumbshits”
because, well, sometimes this thing writes itself. So a few years after The Happy Peeps did
their thing, The Dumbshits had it reversed, and thus Proposition 8 was born.

Now I could go into some of the weird things that are in the
Bible that everyone, including The Dumbshits frown upon. I could also go into a little bit of the
Constitution and explain all the different reasons this was COMPLETELY AND
UTTERLY ILLEGAL. I could even go into
how the folks that backed Prop 8 worded things on the ballot in such a way as
to intentionally confuse those that would have voted against it. But this is supposed to be the short version.

Besides. I don’t have
to explain further, because today Appeals Court Judge Stephen Reinhardt announced
that the California voters violated the Constitution by “taking away from them
alone the right they had won to marry”.

In layman’s terms Prop 8 was completely and utterly illegal.

And so for now Prop 8 is dead. That is until the Dumbshits get together and
try something new, which they are bound to.

As a comedian once said, “If you don’t like Gay Marriage…don’t
get Gay Married”

Eli Manning is Darth Vader.

Join me, and together we will bake up a storm

I know this seems like a stretch. But stick with me for a miniute. I can back this up. Trust me. Just take a moment to open your mind and join me on this brief journey.

We've all seen Episide 1 where young Aniken Skywalker does his Pod Racing gig and in the end the real heroes do all the work to secure a critical victory. Ani is excited becase he gets to spend time with all these super cool, extremely gifted people. Maybe some if it, if he's lucky and pays enough attention, will rub off. Maybe.

One day soon I'm gonna give San Diego a big "Eff You"

Fast forward a little bit and Ani is still hangin with Obi Wan. They are an inseparable team. Whether its stopping plots led by the Sith or winning Oreo dunk championships against the Williams sisters (I'm pretty sure it was them) you can always find Obi & Ani hangin together.

Ani & Obi. The Sith don't stand a chance

Later in the series Ani seems more accomplished and although his side wins you're not really sure if he had a hand in it. For the most part he walked around whining about how he didn't really want to be there and all in all he seemed a little pathetic. What we do know is that a very wrinkled muppet looking creature played a key role and the special effects were good enough to hold your interest. But much like watching a game where the final score is 21 - 17, you're left with your jaw agape wondering what happened.

I've never seen him and Coughlin in the same place at the same time

In the final scene we find our protagonist standing victorious over the more accomplished Jedi. He's defiant and we all hate him. No one really understands how he made this miraculous ascent but there he is sitting at the top wearing a gold jacket and holding his shiny light saber. Sadly because we've all seen Episodes 4 - 6, we can be assured that the mouth breathing never ends.

Say what you will but this guy just wone a second Super Bowl

The good news is that we also know that there will be another. Oh yes, there will be...
