Football is starting really soon and that is super exciting. The hall of fame bowl is in three days, and although I think pre-season football is useless, who cares!! its football, and the beginning of football season is like getting a fresh start, a new lease on life. the bengals are going back to the playoffs. and were going to win one this year. and the other team isn't going to cripple our quarterback this year. yeahh.
ALSO AWESOME is that the World Basketball Championships are this month and next. Tonight at 11 the USA takes on Puerto Rico in a preliminary match, which I am totally going to watch. This year the US decided to do something different in not taking all star players, deciding instead to bring a bunch of stars complimented by a bunch of role players. The teams had a whole lot more practices and have to play in a system. That means we're going to own. America remains the best at basketball because we invented it. Too band for England the same logic does not apply for soccer.
Something thats been eating at me: Connecticut Primary Battle. Joseph Lieberman, a 3 term incumbent senator is facing a primary challenge from Ned Lamont, a wealthy businessman. Lieberman has been taking flack from Democrats and liberals for a long time over a bunch of issues: he fully supports the war in Iraq and says that people who criticize with the president are being unpatriotic and all that jazz. He was also a leader in the Clinton impeachment hearings. He caught my ire back in the mid 90s when he said that cursing in music and violence in videogames should be regulated by the government. Before my rebirth as a politico, I said that I disliked Al Gore because Lieberman was his VP candidate and he wanted to take away Mortal Kombat. At any rate, Lamont is challenging Lieberman. I like Lieberman a lot- he is a statesman and a good senator. He is very intelligent and very apt. He is a good addition in the Senate and if he loses, he will be missed. I have seen Lamont speak a few times, the first being on the Colbert Report. He doesn't really know much. He can debate well enough, but his entire candidacy is based around one issue- the war. Now, that issue is the defining issue of our times, but he doesn't want to talk about anything else. So whatever. I back Lamont. Mostly because I'd rather have a bad senator who is on my side than a good one in the middle or the other side. The primary is next week. Lamont is way ahead in the polls. We will see what happens.
Thats all.
