Anybody seen Tom?
What has happened to Tom Brady? If you lived anywhere in New England for the past 6 months, you couldn’t go five minutes without hearing, reading, seeing or otherwise experiencing a full sensory onslaught about number 12 and his current and his ex and his baby and etc. But talk about your fickle press. One lousy loss and suddenly he gets less press than Dennis Kucinich.
Actually, I don’t consider that a bad thing. Quite frankly, I was a getting a little tired of reading about Tom Terrific. I think the shot of him carrying flowers to the latest member of the Patti Boyd club was the final straw. What the hell was that all about for chrissakes! Joe Namath had a fifth of bourbon the night before his big games. Bobby Layne had a fifth of bourbon during his big games. A bouquet of flowers? No wonder the guy got sacked six times. Talk about giving the opposing defense motivation.
So, if the sudden moratorium on all things Brady is a good thing, how can we get the presendial candidates to disappear? If familiarity breeds comtempt, then Hillary, Barack, John and Mike could wind up being the most disliked Americans of the 21st century. Is CNBC really covering live speechs by Barack or Hillary? Hasn’t she been wearing that same yellow out-fit for a couple of months now. I think they’re holed up somewhere in the Caribean somewhere having a good laugh. But, I am truly non-partisan in my campaign fatigue and disgust. If I have to watch Huckabee play the damned bass guitar one more time I’m going to gag. It’s only February and I feel like these clowns have been running for office my whole life.
I think what the country needs is a Super Bowl for politicians. If the states can move the primary day up, I think the public should be allowed to move up the general election day. Why should we have to put up with this endless posturing for another nine months. Do we really think we’re going to hear anything new? I propose we move the election day up to January 31. Better yet, let’s move it to February 31st!
