Superbowl silliness

Once again, my adopted team of the New England Patriots won their second superbowl in three years (both of those years I was in New England, so I think I am their good luck charm). Very cool stuff, except for the idiot drunken loud mouth Bostonians who try to ruin it all with their machismo.

Of all the unimportant things to report about, the Right is up in arms over the "accidental" display of Janet Jackson's surgically enhanced breast by Justin Timberlake during their over 'Nsync-ed AOL Highspeed Superbowl XXXVIII halftime show. According to MTV and Timberlake, they are very sorry about this "costume malfuction" , sure was a malfunction, when you rip off someone's clothing, its so surprising that it comes off. It seems like they didn't get the reaction they were hoping for: an aghast CBS, who capitulated to the RNC about the Reagan's miniseries and wouldn't let Moveon.org show its halftime ad against Bush (which it broadcast on CNN instead), went abruptly to commercial. Meanwhile a furry of letters went into the likes of CNN and I am sure other stations fueling the fire. Here's the press release Janet's people wanted you to see. Sex sells, right?

On to politics. Kerry is looking like he will win 5 out of 7, maybe even 6, if he gets close enough to Clark in Oklahoma. Edwards looks safe in South Carolina, but can he translate that into more wins down the road, or was this his Alamo. Then again, Kerry's Alamo strategy was very successful. In fact, Zogby has even better numbers for Kerry, looking like he could sweep all 7. If that happens, we are looking for who will be Kerry's VP. Because after Tuesday, it could all be over. Then again, Zogby was so off on NH last time, with his within the margin of error race with Dean that then shot down back to everyone else's poll literally overnight, that I think his credibility is toast.

Advice to Kerry on VP: make it Edwards or Clark. You need a moderate Southern outsider to soften your liberal Northeastern establishment image. Graham won't get you FL it will just land you right back in the senate. There's a reason why he sucked in this race. Evan Bayh is a nice guy, but not too bright and I don't know if he can carry Indiana for you, plus he is also from the South. Maybe Bill Richardson, but he supposedly is not interested. I suspect he is vying for 2008 with Hillary and maybe Edwards (Gore is now officially out of the running given his poor choice and execution of endorsing Howard Dean).
