I'm still recovering from the near disaster at Heinz Field Sunday. After the Steelers chalked up 28 points to 7 against the Chargers in the first half, they apparently decided to level the playing field and allow San Diego to score three touchdowns in the second and put the Chargers within seven points of winning an upset, before finally winning by 10 points. Was it a moment of guilt over "Social Justice" or were they just embarassed by their sucess? Who did the Steelers think they were at that moment? The Obama administration negotiating with the Islamic government of Iran? Did they suddenly want to become a bunch of Beta males? Or was it all that feminizing pink on some of the gloves, uniforms and on the sidelines to "raise awareness" of breast cancer?
It was even worse outside of Heinz Field and across the Allegheny, where the fountain at the Point was spouting pink water into the air and polluting the football atmosphere during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We are all very aware of breast cancer and political correctness, we don't need a whole month cast in pink to remind us of its effect on woman, and even some men (including Montel Williams, a man and a Marine, who came down with the illness and overcame it).
There is enough time to waste for liberal awareness to point out the obvious. The Weathermen Underground of the 60's supposedly took their name from the line "You don't need a weaterman to know which way the wind blows" in a Bob Dylan song. If that was the case, they are, along with other liberals, the most useless of people, for pointing out what everyone already knows. The Left has been blowing the same way for decades, without being honest about who they ultimately are by the nature of their disingenuousness. They took their name most likely from Uncle Joe Stalin. Stalin's last "real" job before becoming a professional communist revolutionary (that is, a professional parasite on society) was working as a weatherman at a meteorological facility. So were the Weathermen just aspring to be little Stalins while not being honest about it? We are now inundated enough, to the point overkill, with liberal busybody excess on TV and radio with leftist pronouncements. Even Gov. Grendel has done a commercial telling us plebians to sneeze into our hands or the fold of our arm to prevent the spread of Swine flu. Ever heard of tissues, Grendel? You're probably still hunting for dangling chads.
This all brought to you by the proponents of Duh!
There is also time for unbridled competition in football and life. The Steelers overcame the effects of liberal bombast, the shock of losing to the Bungles or whatever was giving them problems, in time to come back and win the game by a good margin.
As there is no crying in baseball, there should be no fluff crap in football or life.
