I Believe The Patriots Should Be Allowed To Continue Playing Super Bowl XLII
I Believe The Patriots Should Be Allowed To Continue Playing Super Bowl XLII



You know, during this very long campaign season, I have traveled this country far and wide. I have been to all 50 states, shaken thousands of hands, kissed hundreds of babies, and seen literally millions of faces. And everywhere I go, I hear the same thing from people: Don’t give up. Don’t surrender. Be a fighter, Hillary. And it really inspired me. It made me realize that I wasn’t just running for me. I was running for working mothers, and their daughters, and millions of people around the nation. They put their faith in me, and it would be a crime to let them down.

So I’m not going to let a simple thing like the fact that I lost get in the way of continuing this battle. I was born a fighter. My mother once said I kicked so hard in the womb that the walls of her uterus were punctured. And, by golly, I will stay a fighter. Now, I’ve heard lots of naysayers say things like, “She doesn’t have enough delegates,” or, “No, seriously, the primaries are basically over. She lost,” or, “Jesus fucking Christ, will this stubborn bitch get out of the way of history already?” Well call me crazy, but I don’t think anyone told Michael Dukakis to give up after George Bush pasted his ass in ’88! What’s that? They did? Well then, he’s a little goddamn weakling.

I don’t think anyone should tell anyone when to quit anything. What kind of world would we live in if everyone were told to fold in the face of literally insurmountable odds? I met a 5-year-old girl last month who said she wanted to raise unicorns one day. Who the gosh darn heck am I to tell her that she can’t do that? I met another man who said he wanted to be an Olympic bobsledder, despite being 60 years old and having no bobsledding experience of any kind. Why should that man be forbidden from doing something simply because he can’t do it? IT’S UNAMERICAN!

2. Gigadittoes. Everybody knows the Giants fielded some trans-human entities in the SuperBowl

So let's set things, um, straight...



Actually, I believe the Giants won by platooning their defense and completely overwhelming and wearing out the Pat's offense. Even though my team lost, I had to admire the Giants' strategy and execution. It was a painful marvel to watch them. But then again, I was a Giants fan back in the days of Y.A. Title, Sam Huff and Andy Robustelli, and just switched allegiance to my hometown team, the Pats, when they began to come into their own with Babe Parilli, Gino Capiletti, and all the rest.

Wait till next year.

In the meantime, Go Celtics, and Go Red Sox !
