Other Stuff

I, like John, have decided to take a break from the election for a bit, instead, I'll just give you a few thoughts on completely immaterial matters.

1. The Michigan-Michigan St. game Saturday was among the great sporting events I've ever seen. The way Michigan St. carried the play, especially before Stanton got hurt, was very surprising, and the performance of their running back was great as well. Braylon Edwards' performance late, though, was among the best late game performances ever. His long reception broke Michigan out of a slump and set up the field goal to make it a 14 point game. His two consecutive touchdown catches were absolutely astonishing, easily just as good as what Larry Fitzgerald did last year. The overtime's were so incredibly nerve-racking, especially because Michigan Mike Hart, who has to be kicking himself for being born the same year as Adrian Peterson. Braylon's touchdown in the third overtime, not too mention Avant's in the second, were just amazing. I really give a lot of credit to Michigan State, who could have just died in the overtime becasue they blew that lead, but agin they didn't. Now we just need them to get back up in two weeks, and beat Wisconsin, sorry John and Karen.

2. As part of fact-checking an article, I happened upon Shula's Steakhouse's 48oz Club, which, as one might guess, is for people who finish their 48oz steak. One guy I found, a Jeff Pallies, seemingly ate three, that's one more than 2, in one day, and potentially at one sitting. That's 144 oz, 9 pounds of meat.

3. I'm starting to look for jobs, so far my interest has been peaked by jobs all across the country, from Idaho, to D.C, to Vermont, to an AP job in Honolulu.

4. Ok, I lied, one last election related thing. I saw the episode of Seinfeld last night where Susan died from licking the toxic envelopes. The "Jerry" plot of the episode, though, reminded me of the election, and what might happen. Jerry's (Republican America) life gets saved by Janeane Garafolo (Bush), who's character is exactly like Jerry in every way. Jerry is smitten, because he's finally found the one he's always been looking for, himself. Kramer (Democrats and liberal America) is freaked out by this and doesn't like Janeane/Bush. Then, Jerry decides to ask Janeane to marry him (re-election). Then, as their sitting at the coffee shop Janeane orders cereal for the third time that day, Jerry realizes how weird it is and regrets it. In the next episode we see the two of them break up, happily, acknowledging that they hate each other. This works in a lot of ways, except we have to live in Bush's America, and we can't break up after one episode.
