Football movie cliches:
-rain during the game (usually a "difficult", turning point/catalyst game)
-night, which makes the crowd disappear, and there's flood lights from above, but they don't work very well, so everything is still pretty dark
-shot at ground level, rather than from above, which makes it hard to tell what the hell is happening, so you have to have:
-radio announcer narration

I'm going to revisit my anti-robot constitutional amendment idea. I was thinking about it some more and suppose a guy has a mechanical hip or a pacemaker or something - are they partially robots? Probably a little bit. These don't seem bad, but think about Spiderman 2. How far apart is that weird octopus stuff from a hip replacement or a pacemaker? We don't know. The scientists won't tell us. And I don't think you don't want the Octopus guy on the Supreme Court. Those tentacles are too evil.

The ads that air during Sunday talk shows are a mix of big issue ads - normally energy and health care - and ads for Morgan Stanley. Essentially the same as golf tournaments, except without golf equipment ads.

The rest of my Sunday: buying a new tie (maybe... ties?), fundraiser, drinking, complaining, etc.

The more I hear the word "Acura" the more it sounds like a new pharmaceutical drug.

Fun fact: Oregon's state flag has a beaver on the back.
