The Barack Championship Series and Tim Tebow's right to shut up and get Stoned
The President is considering screwing around with the BCS because he wants a playoff. And in this he's joined in his nanny statism by Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch because Hatch's Utah team was denied a shot at the BCS championship. How's about this? The President and Sen. Hatch can play fantasy football with the BCS all they want so long as they stay out of important things, like health care, for instance?
The President getting involved in the BCS. It's enough to make you go to your window like those people in those late-night commercials for structured settlements who
scream "I want my money now!" and like Howard Beale in "Network" begin shrieking "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
The President can fiddle with football. But everyone seems to be up in arms over the Tim Tebow pro-life commercial that's going to air duing the Super Bowl. Tebow's mother was told by her doctor when she's was pregnant with Tim, her fifth child, that she should get an abortion because she was ill during her pregnancy. Everyone's upset with that commercial because we need to have a separation between church and games. But where's the separation between the state and the games?

It's not that we need to separate religion from the Super Bowl. It's that the pro-life forces are part of the wrong religion. Super Bowl Sunday is a religious holiday. It's the American religion. It has its gospel singers at halftime. The Rolling Stones, for example, who sang at halftime in 2006.
Their religious sympathies just happen to lie with the devil. One of the songs they sang at the Super Bowl was "Satisfaction," the lyrics of which contain the lines "When I'm ridin' round the world/And I'm doin' this and signing that/And I'm trying to make some girl (pregnant)..."
It's just if she's pregnant you can't implore her to keep the baby.
