Cowboys, Lions and John McCain

Politics, pestilence, punditry and pontifications, lately, we’ve covered it all, with our expected aplomb, brilliance and wry sense of humor. We’ve tackled the tough issues in depth and with a coveted insight unseen before in the annals of classic historical literature save Dickens or Twain. But, it’s time to lighten things up, just a bit, for you edification and enjoyment. Why you’re asking, with baited breath, awaiting a prescient profundity. Because my pigskin, gridiron brethren; it’s June, and we all know what that entails and implies. In just two short, sultry, sweaty months we top off our favorite adult beverage, order a pizza, lie back in our favorite Lazy Boy, prop our feet up and get ready for some football. That’s right football aficionados, just two months until our unbearable, long awaited wait is over. In August it’s back, pre-season football. Cheerleaders, monster hits, corner blitzes, quarterback sacks and dare I mention it again, I dare, I dare… cheerleaders. I get all goosepimply just thinking about it.

I absolutely know what you’re thinking, at this moment as you read our written words. Your first thought is, “my God this man is a literary genius and at the same time you’re asking yourself, “rightly so” what the hell Conservative Springfield, a sports story, Football?

I consider our readers and my staff to have a familial relationship and my viewers doubting of my unparalleled, unequaled, unvarnished, unambiguous aptitude and ability to combine the finest of sports, “football” into an award winning composition of polemic comparative conservatism not only beguiles the genius of this author but belittles the intellect of the recipient of this masterful literary content.

An unavoidable truism, as our observations turn to gaze upon the leaves, absent their sustaining Chlorophyll, accepting of the introduction of fall, conservative’s fallback position to a lackluster candidate and ensuing bloodletting politically might possibly be the distraction of the greatest sport devised by man, football. After all, watching the Senator from Arizona thrown to the lions couldn’t possibly be as much fun as the cowboys thumping the lions.
