Super Sunday and Tuesday hit by Kryptonite

So was that Superbowl awesome or what? I was actually torn at the start of the game...do I root for the manifestation of perfection at 19-0 (sorry Mercury keep on holding on to the Dolphins of old as the 2007 Dolphins came mighty close to an 0-16 season) or do I root for the underdog(really the only reason you would call the Giants an underdog is because of the point spread). Regardless the game was sweet like diabetes. But all the supreme superbness of Sunday (say that 3 times fast...I dare you) was almost ruined by a discussion of politics. I would loosely call it a discussion as one of my colleagues was a little drunk and ranting on about the Democrats and what will happen when taxes are 50% of our income and health care is on life support (it already is my friends but thats another blog for another day =) Hillary this...Obama that! And here I am just trying to watch a game that has nothing to do with picking a side as to who is liberal or conservative. The only thing I was being liberal about was enjoying the libations. And I was conservative enough to allow my buddy to keep on yapping so I could see his wife squirm. Truly being a Fencesitter is a nice place to sit sometimes because you can huck shit into both yards and watch the reactions. So I start throwing a little shit.

I chime in and tell my buddy that I cant believe he claims to be an independent thinker and an intelligent guy when he tows the party line of a C student, draft dodger who disregarded any fiscal responsibility and spends more that any democrat ever did. My buddy responded by saying "well he's kept the terrorists from attacking on U.S. soil." (by trampling on the constitution I might add). One guy then says" yeah you gonna blame Clinton for the attacks that happened on GWB's watch?" And I say...."didnt slick Willie have the bad guys in his sights and not pull the trigger? He could have taken out the mastermind on his watch." I went back to a nice spot on the couch and watched the rest of the game while these two fellas hashed out the worlds problems. It finally all ended in a bet of $100.00 as to how much taxes will go up if Obama becomes president.

So we come to super Tuesday and I hope you all put in your say in the political process. This is where I come to find that there was some green kryptonite in my super Tuesday. As an Independent/fence sitter/rational minded human being I wanted to make a choice as to who gets my represented vote for delegates here in Illinois. Well I get to the polling place and proudly claim my non partisanship and they tell me I can only vote on referendums and not for a candidate of either party. So I cast my anemic ballot and when I'm done they ask "do you want a sticker to show you voted today young man"(it was a slew of octogenarians) and I replied" No that sticker will only remind me of how impotent I felt voting in this primary as an Independent." "Well you have to choose son" the old guy replied. I smiled at the guy ( he couldnt tell I was biting my cheek so I wouldnt blurt out "I chose to have a choice which I am not being offered") and walked out feeling violated.

Both of these so called Super days were tainted by Politics as usual. Oh hell I didnt even let you know who I would have voted for if I had been given the chance.................................................I am going to chose to leave that bit hanging. Till next time!

Welcome to the Blogweevils

Well here we are in Cyberspace adding to the clutter of endless, senseless, dribble taking up bandwidth. I guess if you are here you find this interesting and entertaining...or maybe not! None the less, we will try to entertain as much as we can, make you think sometimes, and maybe (just maybe) make you laugh at our ranting, raving, and self promotion.

We are somewhat educated but dont expect the grammar to follow Roberts Rules of Order. We are somewhat cultured but dont expect Emily Post. ( who am I kidding this is free loving, no frills, fun and games so expect the unexpected) Welcome to the Blogweevils!

So what? You want us to write something now? This is just a stupid intro........someone will be with you shortly to post something of some significance somewhere to someone.



Oh....we are gong to play some shows with new songs in 2008.

There you go....until next time.
