Good To See Everyone Kept Their Pants On...

20 bucks says the Steelers were more productive yesterday than most of us have been in our entire adult lives.

By now I'm sure you've read all about it.

Instead of just welcoming them in, shaking their hands, pausing for a few choice photo ops, and then sending them on their way, President Barack Hussein Obama had the team pitch in to stuff approximately 3,000 USO care packages for our troops overseas...


Without making an overt political statement, all I'll say is...change we can believe in, indeed.

Frankly, I'd wax poetic about this for several paragraphs, but Tec pretty much said it all in his post yesterday.

It's only fitting that the Steelers were the first team Obama congratulated and put to work for the benefit of those who are serving our country.

Now, why Arlen Specter's face was up in all this, is another story...

...one that I think we all can pretty much figure out on our own.

But that's neither here nor there.

Anyways, instead of engaging in any type of extended discussion on the subject, I figured I would simply share with you all of the images of yesterday's festivities I could find. By the looks of it, Silverback really missed a lot.

Oh, and if the Steelers win Super Bowl XLIV too, I really think they should rename the White House, the Black and Gold House...


Now, enjoy these pretty pics, which I think provide a perfect, natural segue into Memorial Day weekend...





























Right, sorry. One more thing - GO PENS!!!

Happy long weekend, my pretties! Soak up some sun. Grill up some tasty treats. And most importantly, drink up! See ya next week.

About Last Night...

Let's face it, I'm almost guaranteed to not have anything decent up until like at least 10 AM this morning. So for those of you early risers or whatever, a special treat. Not really, though.

Last night, you'll remember that our new President Barack Obama gave his State of the Union Address. And because it's scientifically impossible for me to take anything seriously, I decided that this was my opportunity to "LiveTweet" the whole thing. I mean, technically I didn't like make a conscious decision to "LiveTweet." It just kind of happened. But that's really no different than many other things in my life.

Moving right along...

Now, I think it's prudent at this juncture to mention that none of what you'll read is meant to be a political statement. None of these "Tweets," as I'm told they're called, contain any particular political sentiment, nor do any of them convey my political predilections. I am simply making the jokes that pop into my head. For entertainment purposes. So do not get offended by anything I say. Not like you would anyhow.

Oh, and allow me to predict for you how Republicans will feel about Obama's plan -- They won't like it.

Amazing that I don't get paid for this kind of expert analysis.

Anyways, because this is probably the best thing my life has ever contributed to the world, I thought I'd share with you.

Some of you, of course, will have already seen this. So you can just go back to sleep for a couple of hours. SCORE!

Sucks for all of you who don't have Twitter and aren't following me. Missed opportunity. You'll see that becoming a common theme.

In any case, enjoy (you're probably going to have to click to enlarge...unless you're an Owl)...

My parents are going to be so disappointed when they read this. In fact, if you listen closely, you can already hear my Mom dialing the phone. But then, shouldn't they be used to this by now? I say yes.

In the immortal words of Conan O'Brien - Some say a waste of time. Others say an INCREDIBLE waste of time.

I thank you all for allowing me to waste precious moments of your Wednesday morning.

Joe Biden. Go Blue Hens!

...I'll see y'all in a few...hours...

Quid Pro Quo, Barack...

Legend had it that if the Steelers won on Monday night, Barack Obama would, in turn, win yesterday's Presidential election. Well, last night that legend became reality. So naturally, you'd think that the old adage - you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours - would ring true for ol' President-elect Obama.

With that in mind, I've gone ahead and come up with three different ways that our buddy Barack can pay the Steelers back for their domination of the Redskins. Check them out below and let me know - as one of his first official acts, which of the following do you think Obama should do?

#1 - Name Dick Lebeau the new Secretary of Defense.


#2 - Pardon Neil O'Donnell for his transgressions.


#3 - Rename the White House, "The Black & Gold House."


So like I said this morning -- Your move, Barack.
