Happy to see Gronkowski get a touchdown. I find myself rooting for Brady and Rob in spite of myself.
Rob said...
Not really OT, because it's about wokeness, right? Amanda Gorman's Superbowl performance--words fail me.
End wokism.
Good Grammar rule for Feb. 7:
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
No more on the fortified election?
So many triggered old white men due to Amanda Gorman. I might not be a big fan of hers, but I am impressed at how she lives rent free in their heads.
Beavis and Butthead sighting, my evening is complete.
TV on mute.
I'm not an old white guy, but don't care to hear 3 hours of corona ads, and sadly not the beer.
SB looks like a slaughter.
3 TDs for the GOAT in the first half. Awesome.
Forever Pats fan me is rooting for Brady, and Gronk. I don't get the TB, and Gronk, hatred from the locals. The Pats left him, he didn't leave us.
Watch out for KC and Mahomes, that bunch can put up points quickly.
Zoomed with friends tonight, haven't seen them since Covid. Got some insight as to why that is the case. For example, mrs. stevew and I have been going out to eat pretty much once a week since late June, early July. The others on the call were surprised, they have voluntarily isolated themselves for the duration. Sad. They all pin their hopes on getting the vaccine. I'm unlikely to get it even if it is offered, this could make me persona non grata. Oh well.
"So many triggered old white men due to Amanda Gorman."
Explain, please. If someone is going to live rent free in my head it only seems fair that I would have heard of her/him.
BTW, it turns out I didn't hate Brady after all - it must have been Belichick all along. Suck it Pats.
Not real impressed with the halftime so far.
At least he’s kept his clothes on.

I'm an old white man and I don't have the slightest clue who she is. I've never heard of her prior to this comment thread.
I don't mind that liberals live in a fantasy land, but if you're going to live in a fantasy land, why make it such a dark and unpleasant one? What's the attraction?
Here is a transcription of Gorman's poem in which she honored the three honorary captains of the Super Bowl game: a nurse, a teacher and a Marine veteran.
"Today we honor our three captains
For their actions and impact in
A time of uncertainty and need.
They've taken the lead,
Exceeding all expectations and limitations,
Uplifting their communities and neighbors
As leaders, healers, and educators.
James has felt the wounds of warfare,
But this warrior still shares
His home with at-risk kids.
During Covid, he's even lent a hand
Love-streaming football for family and fans.
Trimaine is an educator who worlds nonstop,
Providing his community with hotspots,
Laptops, and tech workshops
So his students have all the tools
They need to succeed in life and in school.
Suzie is the ICU nurse manager at a Tampa Hospital.
Her chronicles prove that even in tragedy, hope is possible.
She lost her grandmothers to the pandemic,
And fights to save other lives in the ICU battle zone,
Defining the frontline heroes risking their lives for our own.
Let us walk with these warriors,
Charge on with these champions,
And carry forth the call of our captains!
We celebrate them by acting with courage and compassion,
By doing what is right and just.
For while we honor them today
It is they who every day honor us."
Impressed by Brady/Gronk. Getting it done. KC making too many avoidable errors, not least this fool (32) who thinks it’s a good idea to get up in Brady’s grille. Really, child?
“ What's the attraction?”
Power.
#Me too on the new and improved Tom Brady bandwagon. As a Steeler fan, I disliked him like all other AFC teams did. Now that he away from the Pats, I am all in. Kronk still has it.
I do not think the game is over by any stretch. Mahomes is real good.
Happy to see Gronkowski get a touchdown.
At this point he has two.
Dancers look like they’re wearing jocks on their heads.
The marching masks are reminiscent of the Klan rally scene from O Brother Where Art Thou
Watching the football game.
The huge logos between the 20 and 30 yard lines is 'L' and 'V' with a tall trophy in the middle.
From a distance it reads 'LIV.'
Low Information Voter.
How appropriate.
Yipes. Just read the Heffernan (don’t plow me, bro!) piece from the LA Times. What a b*tch! Full of hate and contempt for her pro-Trump neighbors who snowplowed her driveway as a neighborly act. Totally delusional. Totally deranged. The excerpts run on right side blogs don’t do the woman justice. She is a nut.
That contempt can run two ways, as she may discover.
Urban America has a lot to learn.
"So many triggered old white men due to Amanda Gorman."
I taped it to buzz through all the bullshit.
But if that woman is famous, it's proof we're living in the crazy years...
Living rent free in an old white man's head? Good grief Mark, I had no idea who Amanda Gorman was until tonight. There is something else living your head though Mark. Not sure what it is, maybe you OD'd on smugness.
It's encouraging to me to see that America has finally caught up to my home state of Mississippi in demographics. Maybe surpassed, if commercials are a true indicator.
Good luck with that.
Just got done making some tacos and I see 100 dudes in red coats dancing around with their underwear on the heads.
Is there a way to opt out of covid relief checks? I haven't missed a paycheck and I don't care to receive a welfare payment. My congressman has failed to answer my qhery.
Not impressed by Gorman. That reads like word-fog doggerel, cheap reaching after ass/onance, oh so faux intense.
It’s as if women do not exist. That halftime show. What was it? 200 men? And I didn’t get what they were supposed to be. What was the underpants on the face supposed to mean?
While driving to my COVID test yesterday morning, the Vegas tout for some online betting was sharing his lock prop bet: the line was 11 penalties for the both teams in the Super Bowl, and he said the under was a lock: the refs notoriously let 'em play in the post-season!
So much for that lock. Didn't count on the gal enforcing tacky-tack pass interference (I swear, I couldn't even see the contact on the last long pass from Brady that set up the last TD). And I'm vaguely rooting for the GOAT to win.
Why so many KC penalties. It’s weird. Otherwise ok game.
I’m a Brady fan but I think Mahomes could be Brady 2.0. Can’t count him out.
I followed InstaPundit's link to this article by Glenn Greenwald about a Times reporter falsely accusing Marc Andreesen of using a forbidden word ("retarded") during a private chat session. The alleged journalist, Taylor Lorenz, is thirty years old. By the time he was thirty Marc Andreesen had invented the first web browser. What has she done with her wretched life that is in any way comparable?
I missed the poem. I guess I missed the most significant part if the event, per AA commenters.
Whoever let Kansas City wear shoes and gloves the same color as penalty flags will be getting a strongly worded email from me.
Who is Amanda Gorman?
I am usually pretty aware of new music, but I have never heard of her.
Not watching the game, but checked the stats- the penalty differential is probably the key factor if I had to guess.
I lived in CT for 20 years, but never really a Patriots fan, but started to pull for them the more people hated them over the last half decade. I usually root for the game's underdog, which is Tampa Bay tonight. 21-6 is nothing- the Chiefs can put up 28 points before an old man can go to the bathroom and squeeze out a piss.
"It’s as if women do not exist. That halftime show."
Back in the day, you could at least count on some hot cheerleaders.
Too woke these days, I guess.
Maybe women will be mandated to wear Hillary-style evil genius pantsuits with the shapeless jacket and the collars that stick straight up...
If I didn't see the episode when it originally ran, it was soon thereafter, but it was about 50 years before I got the significance of the name of Mr. Atoz in the Star Trek episode with Mariette Hartley. "Atoz" was the answer to a few crossword puzzles.
Mariette Harley made quite the impression on me though.
And McCoy ONCE AGAIN is an insufferable ass.
I noticed a lot of cars gathered at a few houses on my walks this afternoon; it finally struck me what day it is*. The traffic was very light a few hours ago on the way to the Asian place for pick-up (the place I mistakenly thought was closed a few weeks ago).

Who is Amanda Gorman?
Before she was picked by the Biden Police State to recite a poem at the inauguration, her big claim to fame was being a radical abortion advocate.
"Is there a way to opt out of covid relief checks? I haven't missed a paycheck and I don't care to receive a welfare payment. My congressman has failed to answer my qhery."
Give the money to someone who needs it more than you do. I gave all my stimulus money to my youngest sister and her husband who had their first child last May.
I just read the transcript of the poem...I hope it is a joke.
Sounds like AL Sharpton on a bad day.
Reminds me of the funeral scene in 'Mr. Deeds.'
I missed the half time show washing supper dishes. Apparently I came out ahead???
Anyway, here's a song about underwear for you.
"Whoever let Kansas City wear shoes and gloves the same color as penalty flags will be getting a strongly worded email from me."
My wife said it makes them all look like Ronald McDonald : )
Welfare payment? Yes, in a sense that is exactly what the Dems want it to be -- for us all to be government dependents.
On the other hand, if you paid taxes, ultimately it is YOUR money that they are simply giving back to you.
A to Z? I remember the episode, "All Our Yesterdays", but I had never once thought about what it might be until you mentioned it had significance. That is pretty cute for a librarian.
Bushman at 7:38 and atlhouse at 7:45!
Anyone else hear that Buttigeig wants to confer with the CDC about having a negative Covid test for domestic travel?
Yeah, let’s ruin the economy some more.
But, if it happens, I need a sample of what a negative test document looks like so I can forge one please!
I am too freaking old for this bullshit!
Two episodes. Twice when Spock was in love.
And another one of the saddest lines of the series. "Yes, it happened. But that was 5000 years ago, and she is dead now. Dead and buried. Long ago."
And bite me your grammer lessons.

I walked the dog.
Nothing wrong with The Weeknd. I like some of his songs, but that show was fairly dull.
Defense wins championships again.
A Covid passport, just what the doctor ordered. And T in V.
I think I have an old jock strap. I may wear it on my head at work tomorrow.
AA “It’s as if women do not exist.”
The Biden years are going to be tough for you. Or the Biden weeks, whatever.
It’s a mistake to watch the halftime show. Everyone knows this I thought. It might be a surprise exactly why it’s a mistake, so I guess I understand the morbid curiosity. Still.
Seriously- they did a poetry reading at Super Bowl halftime show? Yikes! That is pathetic. Is Gorman at least hot?
Police state officials: "You need to be tested!"
Citizen: "Can I get tested please."
Police state officials: "You only qualify for testing if you meet specific criteria. And you do not."
Big Mike and Yancey Ward have good comments tonight.

No, she infected the coin toss with her political poetry.
I can think of a few poems I’d enjoy seeing read to a national audience.
Here's Mike Lindell’s Absolute Truth documentary on fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.
YouTube keeps taking it down, so I found a Bitchute version to embed.
Should we worry about “women not existing” in football halftime shows? Is that a hill to die on?
I kept wondering why the absence of crowd noise until they zoomed in on the stands; no fans, just cardboard. The little noise heard might be canned at that.
I wouldn't be complaining about "women not existing" when you all totally ignore the greatest achievement in the history of women is happening at this game --
A woman ref. THE FIRST WOMAN TO OFFICIATE A SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!
There are real live fans there, Ernest T.
Just googled Gorman. Pretty hot. She would be hotter if she wore a MAGA hat, though. Interesting the little Google bio I thought, at first, her parent was John Wick.
"A woman ref. THE FIRST WOMAN TO OFFICIATE A SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!"
Is she black? A transwoman? Or is that transman? I keep getting them mixed up.
"THE FIRST WOMAN TO OFFICIATE A SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!"
It's not Gabriela López is it?
"THE FIRST WOMAN TO OFFICIATE A SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!"
And probably a Tampa Bay fan.
I guarantee you that she is doing a million times better than the first woman president will start doing in a few months/weeks.
Gotta say, that was a hell of a pass by Mahomes as he was falling to the ground.
I don't know about that Mark- Harris does have some very useful political skills according to Willie Brown.
This guy is dangerous right down to the 00:00.
Keep playing like it's a tie game.
Trust me. President Harris will gag on the job.
Lame game. Not even a contest. TB at least came to play.
FU commercial coming on now. Putting TV on pause.
8 minutes left, 93 yards from the endzone, down by 22. Can Mahomes pull of a Brady style miracle? This is where legends are made.
Mock thinks it's over. I don't. I've learned my lesson.
And to think, Bengals fans like me used to say, "Well, at least we aren't Tampa Bay."
Of course, a "prevent" defense will certainly help.
That Jeep ad was asshole. The "ReUnited States of America?" FU,Jeep.
I think I prefer to imagine that half-time show based on reporting here.
If enough complaints are lodged, maybe we can bring back hot women in skimpy outfits having occasional wardrobe malfunctions.
Mahomes learning what it's like to have a porous offensive line.
Redskins QBs have known what that's like for 20 years.
They played that Jeep commercial pushing moderation from Kansas.
Wasn’t Ike a moderate from Kansas? And the left hates Ike.
If KC doesn't get a touchdown by the 4 minute mark, it will be nearly impossible to come back, though, without a turnover from TB.
Just saw the "Let's meet in the middle" commercial. The Re-United States of America. Where is the middle ground on abortion?
The Yahoo tracker says there is a delay. Did someone test positive for COVID?
Haven't watched a minute of the Super Bowl.
Can't stand the idiotic and way too long half time show.
I'm sure the ads are unwatchable this year.
And now some teenage girl reading a poem that would have gotten a C back when I went to school.
The game usually isn't that good either.
If it wasn't for betting no one would watch.
Now get off my lawn.
“I think I have an old jock strap. I may wear it on my head at work tomorrow”
Cool! Does it have Jason Alexander’s face on it?
FBI: Most Wanted. Sorry. FBI crapped the bed. No interest.
My husband and sons are watching The Goat of 1921.
Edward Woodward is the ONLY Equalizer. Not Denzel, and certainly not some chick in yet another reboot/remake from a Hollywood that lacks any originality or talent.
The Denzel movie was pretty good as The Equalizer, the second movie was bad, though. I don't even know what to make of the television remake with Queen Latifah. I laughed my ass off at the idea when I first heard it.
I never did *get* Mr. 'Atoz' until I saw a thread like this one some years back.
OTOH, It never occurred to me there was anything to 'get'. Just another vaguely exotic Trek name.
The game is probably over. KC down to 1 timeout and still haven't scored even the first TD on the comeback. Will need a quick TD here, a successful on-side kick, and other quick TD to even have a prayer at a comeback.
I've been trying to find a good free movie on Amazon, and have bailed out of four already. There are some good ones I see but I already own them on DVD.
Bailout usually for crap plot reasons, occasionally for realization (interesting situation suggested but the man is playing the broad fool for laughs).
The general plot equivalent of hero tied to a chair and tortured, which also describes the audience.
You could spend a lot of time & effort figuring out how to 'return' your COVID check, or you could just cash it and donate it to the Treasury. They take donations.

Where is the middle ground on abortion?
That's an ancient question with divergent answers. Some religions believe that a child can be scalped. While others disembowel the little "burdens". Others recycle her profitable parts a la Planned Parenthood sect. Others yet sequester her carbon pollutants in a secular appeal (i.e. capital, control, empathetic, sympathetic) to climate stasis. Now that the CCP has found common ground with their Western ideological partners, there should be progress on all fronts without borders.
As for my COVID check I'm in
The Devil has had this money long enough camp.
The general plot equivalent of hero tied to a chair and tortured, which also describes the audience.
An excellent movie on Amazon Prime now is Death and the Maiden, with Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley.
NFL has become an insufferable product. Found myself completely uninterested. Turned to an old Ramadan Miniseries on Netflix, rather than watch.
Sounds like OurBetters snatched the football away again and made the game political. Only strange thing was they snatched the football away at the Super Bowl. Expect some arrests because people watched the Snooper Bowl, I mean, Super Bowl, and had a good time and foolishly posted the news they had a good time on FacialRecognitionBook.
Goodnight all. Off to watch another episode of Midsomer Murders.
"Is there a way to opt out of covid relief checks? I haven't missed a paycheck and I don't care to receive a welfare payment."
Invest it for your grandchildren, it's their money after all.
He was either going to be the goat or the goat.
And no doubt, he was/is the goat.
And, actually, the game itself was remarkably politics free.
Thank you.
Looked up the halftime show. I liked it!
I'd consider watching the Super Bowl if I could watch it without ads. Ads make my lip curl. I'm afraid it might end up on my forehead.
Ads may be pc but Trump's golf buddy still won it..I'm sure he's a terrible, terrible man! Lol
I liked the halftime show. I was actually happy for The Weeknd afterward. That must have felt so good to put on the show!
And no women looking like strippers!
Jake From State Farm has been working out.
Great movie, for certain tastes
National Lampoon's Dirty Movie Amazon prime
Basic premise, producer wants to make a movie about dirty/disgusting jokes. Whole movie is about making the movie and mostly consists of one joke after another. Occasionally told by topless young women.
Also has a midget tapdancer telling jokes as she dances. And a Chinese ventriloquist in a kkk robe & hood with a black puppet telling racist jokes.
As I said, not for everyone but I laughed my ass off. Absolutely tasteless throughout
John Henry
Yep I remember when Springsteen was giving the Trump presidency a chance. NOT.
6 of the last 12 Super Bowl Halftime shows have featured women performers.
I think the reason for the all-male dance revue was that they were supposed to be versions of The Weeknd. The bandages on the face were supposed to represent how people changed their appearances to be liked more, etc.
A bit heady for a halftime show, but what are you going to do.
Thanks Sleepy Joe!
Super bowl was stolen!!!! KC wins; they were up 3-0 in the first quarter.
All of the other points after this arbitrary time imposed, should not count.
The kraken is coming! It is time to storm the NFL offices!!!
Kudos to the Bucs secondary. MVPs.
Before she croaked, Mother Theresa was always asking me for the secret to my moral grandeur. She kept pestering me, and I finally broke down and told her. Prayer and fasting will only get you so far I told her. If you want to reach the next level, what you have to do is watch the Superbowl commercials. They really help to make you a better person. Those Bud Lite commercials do more than doing the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage on your knees so far as attaining truly sanctified soul.
So Jeep flew Springsteen to Kansas. How long did he stay? Does he even really give a shit about Kansas? I don't get it.
"Super bowl was stolen!!!! KC wins; they were up 3-0 in the first quarter.

The Left can't meme.
The Superbowl was saved by a cabal.
If I were dictator and could revise the history curriculum there's two changes I would make. First I would make it plain that the First Nation culture that was here when the settlers came was the matrix which formed the next culture, ours, meaning by that that the First Nation trails became our roads and the First Nation villages which were emplaced on the sites which gave the best opportunity for farming, hunting and trade, became our villages and then our cities. And seeds from the First Nation crops which were adapted to the soil in the different parts of America became the seeds that made the settlers in those different areas successful farmers. Forgetting this contribution was the work of the Progressives at the beginning of the 20C who built up social sciences that designated civilized and savage modes of behavior.
But then I would also point out that in America there are two farming areas. One is north of the Mason-Dixon line and the Ohio and is like Northern Europe and was formed by the arrival and withdrawal of the glaciers. North European farmers using First Nation seeds could farm it easily. And the second farming area is like West Africa and was formed when West Africa and North America were one continent, a similarity which was not erased by the glaciers which did not reach the American South. And the North European settlers learned from West African farmers whom they kidnapped for their skills how to handle the different soils. And this learning from West Africans on how to farm the South was also ignored by Progressives who represented slavery as a desire for strong backs rather than for skills which North Europeans did not have.
A study of local history in any area would, I am convinced, show these contributions; and would also show that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries the city-dwelling Progressives by generally denigrating all farmers as hicks lost sight of the contribution of these other farming cultures. These cultures and the European settlers willingness to learn from them or the way in which they used them are significant parts of our history.
The Left can't meme.
Maybe not. But the Right can’t discern facts from crackpot conspiracy theories and has deluded themselves into radical irrelevance.
Tampa Bay Lightning win the Stanley Cup.
Tampa Bay Rays win the American League Pennant and play in the World Series.
Tampa Bay Bucs win the Super Bowl.
All political things aside, it's been a good year to be in the Tampa Bay region.
Temp today was 74.
I have no opinion about Brady, good or bad, but I was glad that the Bucs won if only because I could geographically claim them as my home team. If I wanted to, that is.
Amanda Gorman was inoffensive this time. Still not a patch on "The Tay Bridge Disaster".
Congrats, Temujin!
If a Martian watched the Stupid Bowl ads, xe would conclude that we were all POCs, except for a smattering of pale morons who inevitably play the fall guys in lame 30-second vignettes. Really: the country is 60% white, 20% Latino, 12% Black, 6% Asian. Something like that. So, given that underlying demographic picture, why would you advertise trucks or beer or mortgages using actors who represent at most 40% of your target market? Is it because your market doesn't care about color, it just wants a good beer and a good truck and a funny ad? If so, why are you obsessing about color? If instead your market does care about color, why are you ignoring 60% of the market?
Thinking this is very much a "Get Woke, Go Broke" moment.
POC
There has been great progress: one step forward, two steps backward, from colored people, a low-information attribute, to people of color, an identity defined by your skin color.
"Get Woke, Go Broke"
Woke and drowsy, perhaps. Democratic principles don't matter. Capital is inflated beyond repair.
Paul Zrimsek @ 9:55: "...'The Tay Bridge Disaster.'"
Excellent reference. And I agree: she's got potential, but she's not there yet. Still: give her time. That catchy rap crap might yet match the Great McGonagall.
@Owen
MSM, Tech, Entertainment, and Politicians care about color and sexuality, the rest of us 95%, not so much. Business is still trying to figure it out.
So Jeep flew Springsteen to Kansas. How long did he stay?
In the age of diversity, color judgments matter.

Get used to it. It's how the they try and make their bones nowadays; taking scalps.
The idiots are at the ad agencies who see nothing but color in people. The Amazon ad was the worst. How much did they spend on that crap?
Wildswan, fantastic thinking there.
I had no idea the east coast of North America was actually once the west coast of Africa until I started teaching Earth Science. The story of how that all came about (Pangaea coming together, and then [and still] coming apart) is one of my favorites, it always blows my 7th grade students' minds. It's right up there with the 600+ volcanoes in Arizona... there are so many things about the world they don't know.
Thank you.

Did anyone else, upon seeing the Springsteen ad, automatically shout at the TV, “F*ck you”? I air it about ten times and it made me feel a lot better. Then I went to Twitter and the first tweet I saw said exactly that.
So you see, we are coming together.
True story. Ask a German what percentage of Americans are black and you’ll get an answer of 40-50%
Why? Because that’s what they see on American TV shows.

You could make an argument that 24yo Daryl Hannah in this movie is one of the most beautiful women to pass through Hollywood.
Great music too...movies don't get any more 'New York' than this.
Yet another sign that The Ministry of Truth is already set up and running at full speed, this headline at the Daily Caller:
"Newly-Cancelled Lou Dobbs Spends Evening Spite Retweeting Fox News Hate"
It written by one Shelby Talcott, described as a former college tennis star who majored in journalism. I don't know the truth of any of that, but I am CERTAIN that she's another snotty little shit.
I doubt Tucker controls any part of that site any more. Or at least I hope he doesn't.
wildswan & Joan: yes, when I moved to Eastern CT I discovered that it was in fact a piece of West Africa before the Mid-Atlantic Rift had gotten busy and pushed things apart by about 3,000 miles. The relevant landmass was "Avalonia" and the geological signature is very much present here. It's somewhat humbling to wander around in the local woods and see bedrock formations that match those a full ocean away.

We watched the game and were mostly mystified by the Deep Fake Vince Lombardi (? - I think it was him) giving an inspirational speech.
KC looked like kids playing adults, and all those penalties killed them. #32 should be fined and benched for some number of games at the beginning of next season just for making a fool of himself and contributing to his team's loss.
The halftime show wasn't horrible. My favorite of the ads was Drake from State Farm, but that's just evidence the ads were totally lame this year. We reminisced fondly about past great Super Bowl ads like the ETrade baby, herding cats, and Clydesdales playing football. Nothing even came close this year, although I supposed Edgar Scissorhands made the attempt.
I live in Long Beach, which is in L A County. The county health nuts said no outdoor tv for the sb. Wife and I went out to pick up a couple of burgers and got a good chuckle when we noticed that the restaurants had put their tv in their windows facing the sidewalk so their patrons could watch the game. Big FU to the health nuts.
Sarah Thomas is only the third person to be elected class president of Calvin Coolidge High School with a father on death row. She is only the fourth woman to admit to having a crush on John Wayne to work as a security guard at Bush Gardens. She protested against the murder of Abe Lincoln at the hands of white supremacists JW Booth. She was the first woman to be an official at the Super Bowl.

I teach high school, and most of my students think that. They also think that slavery was a uniquely American evil.
I know educated adults that have called me a liar for saying that Black people only make up 13% of the population, White people make up 77% of the population and that over 50% of all violent crime is committed by Black men.
Oh, and Ms Thomas wears number 53, the same number I wore in my last year of football when guys who had a few pounds on me were verbally abusing at the end of each play.
So, given that underlying demographic picture, why would you advertise trucks or beer or mortgages using actors who represent at most 40% of your target market? Is it because your market doesn't care about color, it just wants a good beer and a good truck and a funny ad? If so, why are you obsessing about color?

Most White people don't think of themselves as White, they think of themselves as American. So as long as the PoC looks and behaves American they don't care. However most PoC definitely do think of them selves as their race, so including them in excessive numbers is pleasing to them. So we get lots of PoC.
"Sarah Thomas..."
More than once, when she was on camera, I said out loud "Illegal use of a pony tail, 5 yards!" And I thought of Lazlo.
Oh, and Ms Thomas wears number 53, the same number I wore in my last year of football
I wore 53 in high school.
Here is a transcription of Gorman's poem
It's not awful, but it is plain prose in short lines, not poetry.
DavidUW
A survey not long ago showed 20% of American teenagers thought blacks were the majority in America. They weren’t the only group to get it very wrong. I think most Americans put the number at about 30%.
[W]hen a Florida recount threatened to undo Republican George W. Bush’s less-than-1,000-vote lead in the Sunshine State and hand the 2000 presidential election to Democrat Al Gore, the elders of the GOP drafted [Roger] Stone — a notorious dirty trickster with roots in the criminal presidency of Richard Nixon. ([and] . . . on an aborted third-party campaign . . . [for] Donald Trump.)
Stone quickly set up shop in vote-rich, majority-Democratic Miami-Dade County. On the morning of Nov. 22, 2000, government workers expecting to conduct a recount there were surprised by an angry mob of hundreds of people storming the building, and with radio DJs urging more people from Miami’s conservative Cuban community to pour down. The vanguard of this counterrevolution, though, was a gaggle of well-dressed young white men with deep ties to the Republican establishment . . . .
The outrageous part . . . is that Stone’s mini-coup against American democracy worked. The Miami vote counters — intimidated and lacking adequate security — left and never did conduct that full recount. The shenanigans allowed a GOP-heavy Supreme Court to declare Bush the Florida winner by 537 votes and become America’s 43rd president.
So writes Will Bunch at The Philadelphia Inquirer - and you thought the problem was hanging chads!
Hope Rodgers enjoyed the game. Again.
Not a lot of free flowing hate here tonight. ALSO no Michael K, Pants, Achilles. What a coincidence.
I guess tonight proves Bill Belichik's genius all along was having Tom Brady as a quarterback.

"A survey not long ago showed 20% of American teenagers thought blacks were the majority in America. They weren’t the only group to get it very wrong. I think most Americans put the number at about 30%."
Surveys also show that 50% American teenagers think Canada is in Europe.
I saw another survey where most Americans thought gays were > 25% of the population. Always hard to know how juiced these polls are, but ... don’t people look around?

Ain't that what the Kinsey Report claimed? In any case, the Americans probably thought the question was about Canada.

Russia Collusion Dead Ender Truther Inga: "Hahaha."
Note: To this very day Inga believes Putin altered votes in 2016 to install Trump as POTUS, Carter Page is a Russian spy and Kavanaugh was a rape gang leader.
Here's the rest of the story that gadfly won't tell you:
"Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), was a decision of the United States Supreme Court on December 12, 2000, that settled a recount dispute in Florida's 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore.
On December 8, the Florida Supreme Court had ordered a statewide recount of all undervotes, over 61,000 ballots that the vote tabulation machines had missed. The Bush campaign immediately asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the decision and halt the recount.... On December 9, the five conservative justices on the Court granted the stay for Bush, with Scalia citing "irreparable harm" that could befall Bush, as the recounts would cast "a needless and unjustified cloud" over Bush's legitimacy....
In a per curiam decision, the Court first ruled 7–2 (Justices Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissenting), strictly on equal protection grounds, that the recount be stopped. Specifically, the use of different standards of counting in different counties violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Second, the Court ruled 5–4 against the remedy, proposed by Justices Stephen Breyer and David Souter, of sending the case back to Florida to complete the recount using a uniform statewide standard before the scheduled December 18 meeting of Florida's electors in Tallahassee.[1] The majority held that no alternative method could be established within the discretionary December 12 "safe harbor" deadline set by Title 3 of the United States Code (3 U.S.C.), § 5, which the Florida Supreme Court had stated that the Florida Legislature intended to meet.[2] That deadline arrived two hours after the release of the Court's decision. The Court, stating that not meeting the "safe harbor" deadline would therefore violate the Florida Election Code, rejected an extension of the deadline.
The Supreme Court decision allowed the previous vote certification made by Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris to stand for George W. Bush, who thereby won Florida's 25 electoral votes. Florida's votes gave Bush, the Republican candidate, 271 electoral votes, one more than the 270 required to win the Electoral College.
Media organizations[3][4][5] later analyzed the ballots and found that, under any considered criteria, the originally pursued, limited county-based recounts would have confirmed a Bush victory, whereas a statewide recount would have revealed a Gore victory.
It bears reminding that Gore pissed in his own whiskey by initially demanding a recount only in certain counties. Miami-Dade County was one of the counties where ballots were re-counted. There's where the Equal Protection issue comes up.
"The Miami-Dade County Democratic Party chairman suspected that thousands of ballots in this county might have been affected by a voting machine glitch.[8] He suspected that these miscounted ballots, after re-tallying, would help candidate Al Gore.[8]"
[After the Nov 22 "riot"] Miami-Dade County official canvassers, in order to meet a court-ordered deadline, decided to limit the county's recount to the 10,750 ballots that their tabulation machines had been unable to tally.
So the so-called Brooks Brothers riot didn't prevent a legal recount. And Gore didn't lose because of it.

The Tom Brady hate is pretty funny, but here is a comment from Sailer's blog that nails the reality:
"Ha ha! Tom Brady is the GOAT. No true football fan can hate him at this point. It would be like hating Babe Ruth, Roger Bannister, or Wayne Gretzky. At this point, we should feel happy to watch such greatness and feel inspired to go out and achieve more for having seen someone accomplish such feats.
That’s the real dividing line among men. Does Tom Brady make you feel great and want to achieve more or does he make you feel small and jealous? Remember, for the other men playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers it’s the former. Tom Brady can inspire others with his work ethic and talent. Let’s all try to do the same in our own way."
This was pretty funny.
I honestly can't tell if this parody or not. The problem is that I see tons of people with actual bylines who write stuff very similar.

Not a lot of free flowing hate here tonight....
Until you came along to take a dump...

Not a lot of free flowing hate here tonight. ALSO no Michael K, Pants, Achilles. What a coincidence.
Plenty of instigators though. Also Ken B, Mark, Inga, and the Village idiots are here. Not a coincidence.
Isn't it interesting the people who foment hate are also the ones who whine about it?
“It’s as if women do not exist.”
Althouse picked a weird issue over which to develop a little consciousness raising. Par for the course.
Step 1) What was the underpants on the face supposed to mean?
Step 2) ?
Step 3) Profit!
So, that was Amanda Gorman again? If she’s a poet, the term has no meaning. And her reading was atrocious. She read a series of declarative statements, but refused to pause between sentences, thereby turning the whole thing into one endless run-on sentence.
And of course, in the spirit of the evening, which was devoted to the White Genocide Project, none of her “heroes” was a White man.
I only heard Gorman because CBS misled the public about kickoff time, announcing that it would be at 6:30 p.m. I tuned in at 6:31, to find she’d just begun. If the network had been honest, millions of football fans would have skipped Gorman.
Now, every communist “president” has to have an affirmative action black female fake poet read a fake or awful poem at his inauguration (Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Alexander, Gorman). I suppose it was fitting that a fake poet would read a fake poem at the fake inauguration of fake president Joe Biden. And seeing that, thanks to mail-in election fraud, we now live in a one-party totalitarian dictatorship, we will be afflicted with fake presidents and black fake poets for eternity.

Two comments on the football game itself. KC's offensive line was rearranged and patched together with the loss of their two pro bowl quality tackles. For me, the big question was could they still do the job. From the very start, it was obvious that they couldn't, and the game was all but lost from that point on. As for the defense, the refs didn't let them play. Even Boomer said it at half time. Also it didn't help that the Chiefs let Tampa get under their skin, so that they were suckered into getting caught time and again. That's on the Chiefs. But Romo (and I) after watching a replay of the Brady-Mathieu contratemp said they could just as easily have called the penalty on Brady rather than or as well as Mathieu.
This takes nothing away from how good Tampa Bay was. They surely won. It's just my take on why this turned into a laugher rather than the tight game it should have been.

Disagreeing with a lefty is hate speech. An outgrowth of disagreeing with Obama was racist.
Watched BBC America Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Great stuff from my youth. All male dancers? Cannot be true in 2021. Half must self identify as girl's basketball players.
Mock.
I didn't watch at all. Went down stairs and organized some fly tying stuff. I totally didn't reload any 9mm for a Glock I don't have. Had random 50s tunes to listen to. Took a trip to Aldi to get some stuff. Read something about Andy Jackson and some Indians.
How epic would it be for Brady & the Bucs to go to Mar-a-Lago instead of the White House?
Hate.
Does anyone think that Pelosi hates Trump? Jim Acosta? Joe Scar'bro? Adam Schiff? John Brennan? James Comey? Jack Dorsey? Schumer? De Niro? The Cheney chick? Barack H.?
Does the phrase "with a passion" ring a bell?
Dicknoses Unite! at halftime.

True story. Ask a German what percentage of Americans are black and you’ll get an answer of 40-50%
Why? Because that’s what they see on American TV shows."
And 2/3 of American marriages are interracial based on commercials.
"Retarded" is forbidden! I had no idea. Of course that's the point. No effort is needed to ban us. Any word can be retroactively labeled as evil and every book and person using it wiped out.
Since I'm not woke I'm sure to be way behind the curve about just which words and ideas have been banned. But I suspect that already the list is so extensive that even a woke enthusiast could lose track.
"Yancey Ward said...
I guess tonight proves Bill Belichik's genius all along was having Tom Brady as a quarterback."
That's a ridiculous statement. Brady has won just a single non Belichik ring. It's also a slap in the face of all the great Patriot teams and players.
"Maybe not. But the Right can’t discern facts from crackpot conspiracy theories and has deluded themselves into radical irrelevance."
Piss Hookers.
Gronk had no message on his helmet, Brady walking without a mask, doing post game without a mask; down right deplorable, love it.
Curious George,
LOL! I thought the sarcasm was obvious, but I guess it wasn't.
Super bowl was stolen!!!! KC wins; they were up 3-0 in the first quarter.
Did they black out the rest of the game and then only show the final result when it was over?
