No one watches "Saturday Night Live" anymore these days, but that doesn't stop Mrs. Brinson from spending her Sunday mornings finding something other than football to watch. As a result, if there's anything sports-related on the previous night's show, I'm all up on it.

Like last night, when Fred Armison did the open as Barack Obama, breaking down the 12 most powerful things in America. The NFL checked in at No. 4.

How? Well, according to "SNL" you'd never see an NFL game interrupted for a Presidential broadcast ("even if the Cardinals were playing the Jaguars") and no one has a fantasy Congress league.

Both of these things are true, sadly.

Why do all the vidoes now say, "Must be in the United States to veiw?"  did some new law just pass saying Canadians aren't allowed to veiw these videos?

Shit I'd rather watch a bowling tournament ( for which I have watched) than this clown...

Your comment is sad but true.  The populace also has to learn how to be told "no, you can't have everything your want without paying for it" and "just because the country was founded on a tax revolt doesn't justify a pathological aversion to taxes".  Food for thought.

That's because our government is a joke. Get it?
