Super Tuesday, almost here … eager to see how it all shakes out, aren't you?
We talk a lot of politics in our household — usually we make fun of local and state officials, which is like shooting fish in a barrel — but rarely do we discuss how we're voting. Our better half finally confessed his presidential choice this election cycle. How are you voting? I asked him. "NO," he said. Yep, that's it. "NO." We like it that at least he's clear.
Candidly, we are not over Tom Brady's treatment of Bridgett Moynihan and so we don't care if he's player of the decade. He's a big creep in our book and so there you go. We were happy to see our W.Va. homeboy Randy Moss do well. Mostly tho we loved all the little rodents featured in the Super Bowl commercials. SO darling! Even the 'Thriller' salamanders were cute. Was that Naomi Campbell? We can't conceive she can dance — but if it wasn't, it was a great lookalike. It was an ad for some kind of froufrou water. The name was upstaged by the lizard dancing, tho.
Tom Petty … get thee to a tailor. Major respect rock Gator, but that jacket, as our esteemed galpal pointed out, was not a flattering cut. LOVE the band, tho, even with all that faux, staged rushing the stage.
Dude, those power chicks out on the stump for Obama, with den mother Oprah, Mrs. Guhvanator Maria Shriver, Caroline Kennedy and the O Mama, too. That is some liberal estrogenfest. If you were to tally the shoe, purse, haircare and Botox budget of all the ladies sharing the stage this weekend, you'd have the GDP of Kansas.
HB 282, Mississippi Legislature. Illegal to serve very fat people in a restaurant. Do these backwoods lawmakers have nothing better to do than get up into someone's private dining business? We know Mississippi has a tough track record on that score. But still. It's America and if folks want to eat themselves into pork-laden oblivion, it's their right. Taxpayers probably shouldn't have to foot the healthcare bill tho. We'll go there. Lots of costs from obesity. "Gimme some grits, witch. Or I'll sit on ya."
Lapsang Souchong, the Chinese tea. It tastes like drinking cigarettes.

Okay, we Mississippians may have some really idiotic things coming from our backwoods lawmakers, but hey, WE WON THE SUPERBOWL, DIDN'T WE?
There's something about being elected into the legislature that turns reasonable men into blithering idiots. Don't know what it is, so as for me, I'll just steer clear of Jackson.
On the other hand, for two years straight Mississippi has given the NFL its Most Valuable Players, in addition to the legendary Brett Favre (next stop: Hall of Fame). So, please excuse our legislators, and focus on our greater contribution to the common good, FOOTBALL.
