Remember last year, when the Superbowl was somehow turned into a referendum on the presidential election? Falcons and the Patriots?

Yeah, well, the Falcons are gonna sit this one out. I know that those who follow pro ball are aware of this. I just wanted to point it out.

Haha, I hadn't seen that tweet (twit?) before. The most telling part of it is that he isn't cheering for the Falcons to win, he's cheering for the pats to lose. Just like liberal politics, they don't want their side to win, they just want everybody else to lose.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."
