Game Time + Hardball!

This is a picture from my first flag football game, played last Friday. (I am in the white shirt & grey shorts). For better or worse, I got assigned as the Center for my team, so it looks like the bulk of my season will be spent trying to spin around fatties & avoiding fingers & elbows getting jammed into my eyes.

As you can see from this picture, the feeble guy trying to stop me was no match for my blistering turtle-like speed! I had a decent game, including a game ending quarterback sack! Our team won 12-0.



On a different note, I was sad to see the McCain campaign descending to the depth of Karl Rove-esque politics this week as they essentially stopped talking about issues, and instead decided the campaign should be waged with little more that nonsensical faux-outrage. Luckily the latest round of nonsense was summarily shot down by anyone with common sense and a brain. This clip from Hardball I found particularly enjoyable. From a tactical perspective, I hope the Obama campaign at this point lets the dogs off the leash in terms of the 527s. I don't think anyone anticipated McCain would go so dirty with his campaign; and if recent history has taught us anything, it is that with national politics you have to match fire with fire.
