Another Super Bowl in the Books. Nothing For Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee to Become Outraged Over

I watched the Super Bowl last night. It was my duty as a proud American. As a citizen, it is simply a must to at least have the game on the telly. Kind of like catching at least one game of a World Series or rooting for the Americans in the Olympics. Even in the "sport" of  Soccer. Be that as it may, I really did not have much of a dog in the hunt and was only passively pulling for the Giants to win. I kind of like "The Quiet Manning."  The game was quite good and came right down to the wire. The way a Super Bowl should.

I did not notice any advertisements that would outrage Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee. Remember last year? I don't know, perhaps I was missing something but I just don't think there was anything that would offend the Congresswoman from Texas. Time will tell though. She has not been in the spotlight of late and it is past time for her to be outraged and offended about something or other. Perhaps she didn't like the minstrel show that was presented during the (exceptionally long) half.

It is always something.

Sheila Jackson Lee Strikes Again

One of the few commercials that I found to be pretty good during the Super Bowl was the one presented by a major soft drink company that featured an African American couple. Ok I guess it is safe to say the add was pimping Pepsi. Well of course Congresswoman Lee found the commercial to be racist. Racist? Yes apparently she did not find the spot very humorous and saw some sort of derogatory racial undertone in the message. I think that most of us just found it to be kind of funny. Leave it to Lee to stir up some kind of nonsense. The woman is an ass and no mistake. A stupid ass if I may be so bold. As I have noted before she is an embarrassment to her district, the city of Houston, and the state in general. She probably just wanted (again) to get on television. Poor crazy old bat. I wish she had been defeated in the last election but as a man who likes comedy as much as the next bastard, I do see a silver lining to her retention in office. Incidentally, when the Super Bowl was held in Houston a few years back, (the wardrobe malfunction game), I was doing some bartending at an official event. At said event we were advised that only the aforementioned soft drink could be served as a mixer. I wisely hid a few cans of the leading soft drink behind the bar, both for personal enjoyment and to serve, for a price, to customers who made such a request. It would have been Un American to do otherwise. Oh nearly forgot; it was at a Super Bowl event that I first ran across dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee. She got up and spoke for quite a while until it became obvious to me that the party goers were becoming bored. Old Sheila didn't notice though and just kept droning on for a while longer.

Yes I Watched the Game

I was not really interested in the Super Bowl. The Saints were out early; beaten by a team that really should not have qualified for the playoffs and I quickly lost interest in the season. I really have very little interest in the NFL anyway. College ball is my thing but to each his own I suppose. I guess I watched because it seems just a bit Un American not to. It is the biggest sporting event going no doubt. Yes Yes I know - the World Cup is bigger some of you may say but let us be honest. Most Americans don't give a rats ass about that. As my good friend would say "fuck a World Cup." If "futbol" is your thing then more power to you but be so advised that it will never replace American football in this neighborhood. Don't even think it will displace golf in popularity. Bowling and tennis (badminton) perhaps but that is not a given. Getting a bit sidetracked here. As I was saying before the ugly image of soccer raised its' head; the Super Bowl is almost a "must watch" even if one does not care about football at all. It was a shame that the game was a bit lame but I did find myself pulling for the Pack for whatever reason and I suppose it was nice that they won. It was indeed hard to watch though. The ballyhooed Super Bowl commercials were a tad off this year also it seems to me. One or two were pretty good but for the most part they just weren't attention grabbers. Glad it is over.
