On Wednesday, there were two news artricles concerning middle-aged men shedding tears of gratitude for their recent successes. John Boehner(rhymes woth "no-brainer") was pathetircally grateful that Republican victories sending them to the House of Represesntatives would make him eligible to be elected Speaker of the House, thus eligible to be President ahould sudden death overtake President Obama and VP Biden. His success is strongly rooted in his ability to make consecutive statements which absolutely contradict one another. e.g. "The Stimulus Plan is a failure" and "I have brought all these jobs to Ohio". Is it any wonder that politicians are uniformly distrusted?
Monday evening, it was pretty thrilling to us neighbors of San Francisco to look at the tv screen as the left and centerfielders of the baseball team formerly owned by George Bush watched the ball hit by one Edgar Renteria as it flew over the fence. For that hit and for otherwise inspiring his team, Edgar was chosen Most Vauable Player of the 2010 World Series.(Edgar's body is so damaged that he will probably never play another game of baseball. Indeed, the next day he received a severance package from his team.) It is left as an exercise for the student to guess which tears of joy your blogger identifies best with.
