Predictions for the weekend

This Sunday is the Super Bowl, America's annual television orgy.  Hundreds of millions of people will tune in to see the game, and/or to see the commercials.  Unless the game is close, most people start to bail out after halftime.  This year, no one is going to bail out.  I predict this Super Bowl will be one of the most-watched events on television, from pre-game to wrap-up interviews.  Some of the commercials are going to suck.  Most of them will at least be amusing, and for 12 million dollars per minutes, they better be.  That's $200,000 per second, folks.

 

The Patriots are going to win.  Not by much, and it's going to be ugly.  There will be at least one *very* controversial call in the Pats' favor, a call which will keep Giants fans in deep denial for another year.

=========================

On the political side of things, Hillary Clinton still has Zackery disease...  her face looks "zackery" like her ass.  But less intelligent.   I keep looking for the wires that control Obama's actions, I swear he looks and sounds like a wooden puppet.  He could be, as he doesn't say anything original, or act as if he has any ideas of his own.  Maybe puppet is the wrong term, perhaps Android would come closer.

 

Romney is thinking hard about how to stop the Mac-Is-Back Express, and he's not coming up with much.  Unless he has a deep pile of fresh stuff hidden somewhere, he's already thrown all the mud he has at John, and it ain't sticking.  I'm not going to call him the Teflon candidate, as that's been done already.  But, I wonder if the term "ScotchGuard McCain" has been used yet?

 

What Mitt needs to keep in mind, is John McCain knows exactly how to deal with him, ideologically and theologically.  John has dealt with Mitt's spiritual clone, back in Arizona, over 20 years ago.  Anyone ever heard of Ev Meacham?  Next time Mitt gets ready to throw a big wad of Keating-Five mud at John, somebody needs to remind him who was behind that scandal and where it started.  Good old Brother Meacham, then-Governor of Arizona, blessed and anointed by Salt Lake City to run the state, just as Mitt has been to run for President. 

 

John McCain is going to wrap up the delegate count Tuesday.  It'll all be over but the talking from then on.  Mitt won't give up until the nomination, hoping to hold on until he gets asked to be VP.  Mitt, it ain't going to be McCain/Romney, and I think you know that.  It's going to be McCain/Huckabee.  And you know that, too.

========================

The Giants need to play the game, even though, in all probability, they will lose.  Who knows, Brady could break the rest of his ankle in the 1st.  But the difference between the Giants and Mitt Romney is simple.  The Giants have a chance, and they know it.  Mitt does not, and he doesn't know it yet.
