There’s a Football Game Tomorrow
Jump to Comments
Barack Obama will be having a Super Bowl party at the White House tomorrow where the invitees are ten members of congress. Among them, our own Raúl Grijalva and Trent Franks.
Franks is likely invited because he “represents” the Cardinals since his district includes Glendale. Who knows, maybe an encounter with Obama will change his ways. Come on over, Trent, be cool, we’ll be your friends…
The gathering will be bittersweet for Grijalva, as his beloved Oakland Raiders will not be playing in the game. Again.

Obama’s super bowl party shows another difference between him and GWB. He has friends! (remember GWB’s Super Bowl party… he choked on a pretzel, fell, hit his head. Only one there to revive him was his dog).
As for the Raiders… we had a horrid season (again) but we knocked off those pucks that beat us in our last visit to the super bowl to end our season and theirs.

About a week ago we were under by three. And the source was that someone told me that in a bar. It sounds about right though.

Well, here it is in the second half. Anybody have a proposal to quickly pass a stimulus for the Cardinals?
Hey, let’s be honest. This is the Super Bowl. Think Super Bowl, and you probably visualize the Pittsburgh Steelers. Definitely not the Cardinals.

But there is a lesson to be learned here:
In Pittsburgh the last steel mill closed its doors more than a decade ago. The industry the football team is named for, no longer exists in any form at all in Pittsburgh.
But Pittsburgh, though it went through some hard times, didn’t die. It had diversified its economy, and the Pennsylvania legislature had invested heavily in education in that state including at the University of Pittsburgh (although private Carnegie-Mellon University also is a magnet for the region.)
There is a lesson to be learned there, somewhere. Maybe our legislature should visit Pittsburgh before we put all our eggs into the cut-education-and-taxes basket.

A more fitting name for the times would be the Pittsburgh Bankers.
