Sometimes it is frustrating just how gullible people seem to think we really are. Here are a list of things the Pendragon does not believe, but the higher-ups are apparently hoping we all fall for.
1. That John McCain had an affair with a lobbyist. The episode is instructive, however, because one should be asking why the same paper that drooled over McCain all primary season is now itching to ditch him by digging up "facts" like this story and the fact that he was born on a military base outside the United States. It's the beginning of the end for the senator. Soon he can really identify with Bob Dole--an "also-ran" buried at the polls.
2. That Bill Bellichik and the New England Patriots are guilty of videotaping the Rams' practice sessions before defeating them six years ago in the Super Bowl. It's normal, I suppose, for proven wrongdoing, like Spygate, to cast a shadow over everything the team or person has done. But the Patriots beat the Rams because they played their hearts out and, like the Giants this year, wanted it more. While we're hovering around the subject, Congress should busy itself fixing the illegal immigration problem and let the NFL deal with its own issues.
3. That kids who were spanked will most likely engage in risky sexual behaviors. More bull from so-called intellectuals.
This is also a good response to the flap in sports. The Pendragon was annoyed to read this past week that members of Congress are asking for an investigation into whether Roger Clemens "perjured himself" when denying steroid use. I don't remember Democratic Congressmen being so ethically particular when one of their own perjured himself to save his butt from his own sexual misadventures (he must have been spanked as a child). What's good for the goose ain't good for the gander apparently, but with all the members of Congress getting caught up in sexual problems, drug-use problems, money laundering problems etc., they surely cannot throw any stones. One more instance of the uselessness of government.
