Finally, an idea I can get behind....

Well, here it is. Two solid years into the existence of the blog, and I'm caving and posting something about poltics.

Check out what California's Lt. Governor Abel Maldonado had to say about a new proposition on the California ballot that might be one of the best plans I've heard yet to reel in this country's out-of-control political parties whose continued courtship of  extremists has contributed to record numbers of Americans registering as independents.

This is a man with a plan people, and America needs more like him. Once the two major political parties realize that the majority -albeit a slight majority - of Americans' political views lie somewhere in between the two extremes they currently cater to, then maybe we can start making some real progress in this country.

Maybe.

If hating Tim Tebow means I'm rooting against Jesus...

... then let's go Satan!

And I don't mean Miroslav. (Though this was gorgeous. I can't get enough of the NHL Playoffs!!)

This is what The Denver Post is reporting that Tebow said of his first meeting with Bronco's head coach Josh McDaniels:

"I was jacked leaving that room. I didn't even want to visit another room. It was not enough time," Tebow said. "We were excited, we were enthusiastic. There was passion. It was just intense, and it was ball, and it was juice. The juice level in that room was high, and it was awesome."
You'll notice the typical born-again Christian vernacular right off the bat: "jacked", "it was ball," "it was juice." Are these not things right out of Scott Stapp's uber-douchey mouth?!?

I hope this guy breaks his femur on the first day of practice, and if that puts me at odds with the good Lord, then so be it. The God I pray to can't possibly like Tim Tebow.
