| Baked beans are off |
Speaking of Spam, the Vikings are actually favored at home this week**. Seems even the oddsmakers can't believe how bad they are. Coach Frazier really needs to PONDER that 0-4 record, I think, lest his team get caught in a self-reinforcing WEBB of despondency.
When you listen to Obama, you have to take him absolutely literally. For example, in his latest news conference, he noted that, "I had a chance to meet a young man named Robert Baroz. He’s an English teacher in Boston who came to the White House a few weeks ago..." Now a lot of people are calling Obama out because he didn't actually meet the man. Obama never said he met him, only that he had a chance to do so. Just like the Vikings had a chance to be a pretty good team this year.
In both of my history classes (at least the ones I have to be in class for) we're watching films this week and next. In one, we are watching actual Nazi propaganda films like Triumph of the Will and The Eternal Jew. In the other, we are watching an A&E*** biography of Napoleon. Like with the Vikings, it is apparently too much to ask for consistency between the first and the second.
SUNDAY UPDATE: The Vikings' change of strategy is obvious: since building a 3-touchdown lead and then retreating into a cocoon was not winning games, they have decided to up that to 4 touchdowns.
* Catch-22.
** By 2 1/2, but still.
*** History starts with an 'H', you will note.

I think you get three points just for playing at home, so actually they are not favored to win, just to be at home in a game in which they would otherwise be the underdogs by a 1/2 point.
Or something like that. I think odds are created by a man with severe brain damage who communicates with the Vegas establishment through patterns in bowls of baked beans.
PS Don't knock Obama's command of the English language. He went to Harvard, you know, and is the smartest man ever to become President. If he says it, then it must be what he really intended to say. Either that or the teleprompter told him to say it by showing patterns in bowls of baked beans.
If I posted it it can't be terribly important! Probably just as well that I was Spam!

Perhaps they have found the winning strategy.
