Bill Maher Monologue, deflategate, Jan 23 2015

bill maher monologueDeflategate is a sure sign that we have become so fat and stupid that the Republicans may be right about global warming, we will probably do ourselves in long before the water comes lapping into our bedrooms.

When the top story is that game balls have a few less pounds per square inch of air in them as they should is silly enough, but the whole thing is about grown men chasing balls around in the dirt. Excuse me, dirt, wood and ice.

Can you handle the truth?

I love watching a football game. I like the basketball playoffs. I like listening to a baseball game on the radio for the nostalgia. I always watch the World Series. Going to a hockey game is big fun. But there is really nothing much to say about any of it, let alone devoting entire radio stations, TV networks and newspaper sports sections – that are larger than world, national, state, local, financial news combined – to it. I even noticed newspaper pages in the sports sections full of lists of numbers and names like the stock market financial pages that a magnifying glass is needed to read. And the internet? I would guess only prom surpasses sports in using up bandwidth.

I like watching, going to, and even participating in sports but talking about it is a bigger waste of time than trying to figure out what the dog is thinking – answer – not much. Just imagine what a better world it would be if all that time, money, and effort put into the talk-talk of sports were redirected into something important. Like how long will Kim Kardashian’s ass stay big and round? And what about Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber?

I hope you grasped the underlying gist of this article… The warm shallow end of the pool is filled with equal numbers of boys and girls.
