Ganked from auryn29a...

And now the song is stuck in my head!

I barely ever watch TV. I read the newspapers on the intarwebz. I listen to the radio.

Yesterday, however, I watched the Redskins game (EPIC FAIL!) and part of the RNC whilst hanging with sophistbastard and osym at an Irish pub. Because really, what goes better with football and politics than booze and snark? Would Wonkette even exist if politics didn't go hand in hand with booze and snark?

The football game was spectacularly bad for the Redskins. I mean, I was impressed with how badly it went for them. What the hell? Were the pro players somehow replaced by my high school team or something?

Osym and I entertained ourselves through the game by noting the tight pants (athletic men in tight pants... mmm), homoerotic overtones, and referee hand signals. Oh sure, you think you know the signals now. You are wrong.

Talk to the hands	Disco Dancing	Touch my boobies	Nonconsensual fisting

Yea, verily, it was truly Raining Men.

Complaint: Even in Irish pubs, and even when the home team is losing, it's poor form for the band to start practicing before the game is over. Especially when they block the big screen image!

Okay, the RNC. Leaving out for a moment my own political opinions, and just concentrating on basic drunken observations.

1. Cindy McCain = Cryptkeeper? I'm just sayin. Scary!
2. McCain's mom = alive or dead? Dude, she looks like a corpse. I felt sorry for her.
3. There was a blue and red flag waving in the background part of the time. Whose flag was that?
4. Is it just me, or are they totally fetishizing McCain's war injuries?
5. Have they forgotten that he was 5th from last in his class at the Naval Academy?
6. Poor Palin. She stood up and clapped at one point in McCain's speech with such a look of confusion on her face. "Conventions are hard! Let's go shopping!"
7. And WTF was that mansion in the background?

I dunno. Maybe I was drunk. But I swear it seemed like a farce to me.

We also drunk texted a few people.

Okay, that's all for now. But to cheer myself up, I give you this video.

I hope so...

Here's some information to consider.

"And if a small child ever asks you the meaning of the bad word John McCain used to insult his wife in public, simply say: 'That's the special place where babies come from.' Then use candy to change the subject." --Daily KOS
