November 2 is soon approaching!!
In the past 17 elections, the outcome has been determined by an important factor. No, I'm not talking about the electoral college, the political party ads, the two parties involved. I'm talking about something much more substantial, and much more important.
Yes, I'm talking about today's football game.
According to the past 17 or so elections, the outcome of the Presidential election has been determined by the outcome of the Sunday football game of the Washington Redskins prior to the election. As the story goes, if the Redskins WIN the game, the incumbent (or incumbent's party) will win the election. However, if the Redskins LOSE the game, the incumbent will lose.
And in the EXTREMELY important Packers-Redskins game, final score ended up being Packers 28, Redskins 14.
Oh, looks like certain incumbents should be losing should history hold true. And they say history repeats itself.
In the meantime, want some comic relief from the election intensity? Go to jibjab.com and look at "This Land is Your Land."
Woohoo!
November 2 is approaching extremely quickly, and in the words of E.M. - please fucking vote.
