She had plenty of opportunity prior to kickoff to pick up on the negative reactions to her tweet and to explain that she was only joking.  It's pretty lame to wait until now to make the claim.  Actually, the original tweet was pretty lame.  I say that as someone who has been pretty receptive to her policy positions.  Just another example of a politician going through a "ready, fire, AIM" sequence.

Speaking of politics and the Rose bowl...

I'm wondering if we could hire the skywriter to write that about Fiorina.

Not that I disagreed with anything the skywriters wrote but this was just bizarre and the messages got more and more radical as they kept flying around.

But I'm not sure which was more impressive: that someone thought to do this or the flying by the five planes writing the messages in dot matrix-style letters.

I suppose if you wanted to get your message across to a bunch of Iowans, the Rose Bowl let you reach about 50,000 or more in one fell swoop.

When I first heard it I thought it was so over the top that she had to follow it with a wink or a "just kidding -- WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE!!!!"

And Rubio and Cruz -- Republicans are a regular Casa Zapata.

Geaux,

Enjoyed my recent trip to the Sugar Bowl, other than the actual game.  Am glad our band does not strive to incorporate Dixie into it's repertoire.

Annunciation in the Warehouse and Atchafalaya Cafe in the Garden District were quite tasty. 

Irene's Cuisine was a fine NOLA experience but a bit claustrophobic for my experience.

Oman,

Glad you enjoyed your trip to the Big Easy.  You chose some good spots to eat but still have a few dozen (or more) worth a visit.

On a future visit, come join us at the Blind Pelican for a Stanford Football viewing party.  My standard meal there is a Pelican burger, Covington pilsner, and happy hour raw oysters for $3/dozen!  For the Rose Bowl we had double our normal turnout including visitors from as far away as DC and Alaska!

"Dixie" is the greatest fight song in America and when the Ole Miss Rebels win the Sugar Bowl there is a rightness in the world.  Played fast, "Dixie" will put fight into a whipped chicken.  Played slowly, it brings tears to the eye.  I wish the band would play it more.  They used to play it when the Rebels would take the field, which had everybody (whoever you were rooting for) on their feet and roaring.  Thus is was at the last Ole Miss Sugar Bowl, which I was happy to attend.



The Ole Miss administration is trying to water down "Dixie" by having the band put it into a medley and now they are trying to eradicate even that.  But the song remains by popular demand, despite the PC at the Lyceum.  And so it always will.

She is dead to me!  Can we find some basis on which to invalidate her degree?

Ditto, and she is from my class.  If she shows up for the reunion next fall, I will be honored to tell her she is a traitor!

I dont want to give the Rice Band any ideas, but Carly's Hawkeye support seems like an appropriate topic for an opposing band to mention in a halftime show. It would be fun if we got some of our own medicine.

I hope the MOB makes the trip. I am so looking forward to a fanbase with a sense of humor.

The New Yorker has had some pretty funny political satire of late. Their headline: Fiorina Cheers Self Up by Firing Campaign Staff

Minutes after the returns started coming in, revealing that Fiorina had no chance of making a respectable showing, the former business executive acknowledged that she was “sad at first—but then I realized that every failure is an opportunity, and in this case I had an opportunity to give some people the axe.”

“I got to downsize a lot of people tonight, and that makes me a winner,” the Presidential candidate said after her dismal showing in New Hampshire.
