If your office is like mine, you just stood around a Tele with a group of mixed voters listening to John Kerry's concession speech. It was very upsetting, and we as a party must turn inward to understand our problems in reaching potential voters who should by all means be casting for the blue team. We have more time to think about it than the Yankees about Boston, but to keep on that note, here is a concession email from Beach. He knows where he stands.
Check it out...
Simply put, the city of Boston should be blamed for everything......
The Red Sox came back 3-0 to beat the Yanks and then go on to sweep the Cardinals. This was truly a devastating tragedy. The fine folks and cops of Boston danced around the streets, flipped some cars and killed a person or 2 in the celebrations. Then a few short days later, the other Boston team, the Patriots dealt my Jets their 1st loss of the season. Since all of this has gone down, the city of Boston has been glowing and on top of the world. Our choice to defeat George W, Mr. John Kerry also happens to be from Boston. And since they've won the Series I don't think he's taken that ugly Red Sox hat off his head. I was thinking; well as much as I hate that hat I still need to really pull for this guy to win. As I was looking at the pictures of all the jackasses in Boston gathering in Copley Square yesterday to wait for Kerry to speak if he won the election, I realized that I needed to actually side w/ these folks for a minute. The same folks that were still on a 2 week drinking binge from stealing the season away from the Yankees. And side with them I did as I got excited to see the election unfold. Fast forward 6 hours, the big crowd at Copley Square starts to filter away as its now 2am and the race is all but over for Kerry. And that is when I realized that Boston really does suck. They beat the Yankees, they beat the Jets and now we've lost the election.
So as we all sit around today, speculating as to how much worse our country is going to get with another 4 years of W and even greater Republican control of Congress, I tried to come up with a list of a few things that I still have to keep me happy this week.
Quite overshadowed by the election last night was the opening of the NBA basketball season. Yes folks we now have basketball to watch again. And in the opening night, the Denver Nuggets were playing the LA Lakers. Now I don't root for a team as passionately in basketball as in football or baseball, but I really like the Nuggets this year. They are a great young team that should be lots of fun to watch. They have a guy named Voshon Lenard, who I believe is one of the best shooters in the game; he's just hands down awesomeness. So I turn to the game to take my mind off the election, midway through the 3rd quarter. And what happens? Oh yes.....he is on ground in pain. What happened? Broken Achilles tendon. And yup, you guessed it, they'll lose him for the season. Now I am trying to figure out how to blame this on Boston, and I'm not 100% sure how I can do it yet, but I will get back to you shortly.
So here are a few things I know that even George W should not be able to screw up for me:
1) My 2 football teams have a combined record of 13-1.
2) There are several places in the area where I live and work, that anytime day or night I know I can go to and get a fantastic plate of nachos.
3) Saturday afternoon I can watch Notre Dame upset Tennessee, and Belin will be so happy he'll buying everyone a margarita, and then we will drunkenly throw Oveis into the East River.
4) Sunday I will watch football, most likely with some Nachos, and be happy.
5) It is still legal to drink tequila. (*If you are 21 of course*)
6) The Red Sox will not win another baseball game for a good 5 months.
7) While the Presidential election went a different course than I had hoped, I'm still happy to say that I voted. I'm still registered up in Bedford, NY and voted by absentee ballot. When my ballot arrived in the mail, I had a separate envelope from a candidate running for the state assembly. It was a 1 page later of a why you should vote for me kind of thing. The guy was a Democrat, and I couldn't even count all of the grammatical errors and misspellings in the 1 page letter. I could never imagine how he could let such a poorly written letter be sent out. And this is me picking up on it and most of you know I am far from Dr. Grammatical Perfection. So I said, buddy you've lost a vote, and it was the 1 Republican candidate I voted for. I just saw that that race is still "too close to call" and separated by a couple dozen votes and they won't have the results finalized until "they count all the absentee ballots." So, maybe I did make a difference.
Thanks for reading and please everyone feel better....things could be worse, as they will be getting soon. I'm just kidding....we will be on the upswing now. And please remember this; anything that goes wrong in your life or the lives of your friends and family is definitely Boston's fault.

I think you suck
is it fun being gutless?
keep reading jackass.
"anonymous" seems like a real fighter. i hope he's looking forward to another four years of bullshit paranoid political invective from g.w.b., not to mention inflation, an increasingly out of control deficit, and countless other gifts i know we all appreciate. on a side note, did anyone out there read that george bush sr. did not support the second war in iraq? i've read that. it would explain why he's been so quiet on the matter. scat
s.t. do you have any links to articles regarding Bush 1?
yep, give me a little time and i'll some good ones. scat
That's awfully convenitent to have 2 football teams!
