Okay, it's been two weeks since I updated. I was sick last week and worked a lot of OT. I know that it's not an excuse but cut me some slack will ya.

Super Bowl time. Next Sunday is the Super Bowl, we've come a long way since the first Super Bowl in 1967. As a matter of fact the first Super Bowl wasn't even called a Super Bowl. The Packers beat the Chiefs in a half filled LA Coliseum. Tickets were $10 and the game was telecast on two of the three networks. This week you will hear all sorts of stories about how Payton Manning and the Colts will win. My advice, take the Bears and the points. The Bears defence will make Payton look more like his father back with the Saints. I still say Archie Manning was the best quarterback to play the game. The New Orleans Saints had the best QB with the worst offensive line ever. When Conrad Dobler joined the Saints for his final season, his knees were so bad he could hardly walk and he was still the best lineman on the Saints. It's a miracle that Archie Manning didn't get killed on the football field.

Archie, Payton and some guy from the Giants

The other major sporting event going on is the Presidential election in 2008. The hats are flying into the ring. Bush has pushed his approval rating so low the only way the Republicans can win in 2008 is if the Democrats put up a woman or a man with an Islamic sounding name. So who are the Democratic hopefuls? Hilary Clinton and Obama Barack. Hilary, who went from the White House as First Lady to the Senate, representing New York ( I guess they didn't want her back in Little Rock) now on to the White House. If Bill was stepping out when he was busy being President does Hilary really think he won't be getting busy as first.......Gentleman. When asked in Iowa this weekend how she would handle Osama bin Laden, Hilary quipped, " I know how to handle bad men". Is she planning on sending Monica to Afghanistan?

Barack, a congressmen from Illinois, doesn't stand a chance. the voters will confuse him with Borat or Osama either way he's dead in the water.

Obama Barack

Obama Borat?

Osama Bin Rack?

The Republicans on the other hand have a major hole to climb out of. Arizona Senator John McCain has been waiting his turn for eight years. Back in 2000 John came out of the gate with a couple of early wins but then the Bush machine took over. As the primaries were heading to the Carolina's they started a phone poll of Republicans asking questions like, would you vote for McCain if he had an illegitimate black child? or would you vote for McCain if his wife were an alcoholic? In reality, the McCains had adopted an Indian girl from one of Mother Theresa's orphanages in India and she did look black in the family photos. Mrs. McCain had an openly discussed problem with prescription painkillers but the biggest rehab center in the country is named after former First Lady Betty Ford so that point should have been moot. The voters looked at the family photos and McCain went down the tubes. How did big John repay the Bush Juggernaut, in 2004 he came out supporting the President just like a good Republican soldier.

What the Republicans need is someone to clean up the mess that W has made. Who cleaned up the mob in New York City? Who cleaned up the remains of 9/11? We need Rudy. Former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani is talking the talk in New Hampshire but has still not officially thrown his hat in. This is going to be a great year and a half to the next election.

Rudy still wearing his hat
