Huckabees considered harmful.

Here’s why.

Not only does he believe that he’s been Chosen by God (pronounced GAW-duh) to lead America, He thinks he knows what God’s thinking!  And he wants to change the Constitution to enforce that thinking.

Leaving all the God stuff out of it, any person who does not understand that the Constitution’s sole purpose is to limit the power of Government to interfere in the lives of Men has no business in the oval office.

OK, Maybe I was a little to hard on Eli

Actually, no.  I stand by everything bad I’ve said.

But there is nothing I can or will say to take away from the football that Eli and the Giants have played the last three weeks.  The difference?  The offensive line kept Eli calm.  A calm Eli is a proficient Eli, it seems.  It helps when the star receiver finally finds his hands and holds on to the football.  Tends to increase a QB’s confidence.

But there’s been a lot of good football the past few weeks.  Going toe-to-toe with New England, and holding them to a field goal.  -2 yards offense in the first quarter, then coming back to absolutely dismantle Tampa.

And then Dallas.  Dad was getting a little bummed when Dallas was on the offense for 10:28 in the second, going 90 yards for a TD in 20 plays.  I figured hey, leave that offense out there, get them tired.  Dad: “But it’s 14 unanswered points!”   Then Eli lights it up.  46 seconds, 71 yards, Touchdown!   Fast forward to the fourth quarter.  Two three-and-outs.  Dad’s now convinced that the Giants are going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  The Giants are up 4, so Dallas needs a TD to get anything.  That offensive line is tired.  And the Giants finally figured out how to get through it and get to Romo.  He’s clearly shaken.  And then it happens: interception in the end zone.

And the New York Football Giants are going to the conference championship!

Here’s hoping they can keep Eli calm for two more games.

Put on some clothes, will ya?

Seriously.  I’m not one for fancy dress.  I don’t go in for the whole suit and tie thing.

But is it too much to ask that when you are going out in public, that you put on a pair of pants?

Really.  How lazy are we, as a culture, that going to the store in pajamas and bedroom slippers is now considered acceptable.  And at 6 PM, no less.  And it’s even more prevalent among the teenage set.  Do they go to school dressed like this?  Or do they change into the pajamas as soon as they get home?

It’s not that there’s anything intrinsically wrong with it, I mean there’s no naughty bits hanging out or anything.  But couldn’t you put a little effort into looking like you actually HAVE clothes?

Why I don’t like Huckabee

I finally figured it out. It’s because he honestly believes he’s been chosen by God to be the next President.

Supreme executive power is derived from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony. Look, if I’d said I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!

There are no answers.

And I am no longer sure what the question is.
