I mean the whole thing too, not just the nutty half-time culture war business that I read about. It's been a while. The last time I watched a Superbowl game was probably when I still did my taxes during half-time at the bar. Doing taxes takes at least a minute amount of concentration, so I must have been busy during those half-time "extravaganzas".
I did hear that the Seattle Seahawks won the game yesterday, but, rather than rant about Sportsball, let me show this graph of the culture war divide. It appeared in a Zerohedge article - Bad Bunny Halftime Show Versus Turning Point USA Alternative Highlights A Divided Nation . First of all, I know about the assassinated Charlie Kirk and his still-extant Turing Point - USA, but Bad Bunny? WTH??
Some people like him, apparently.
Generally Democrats are "very or somewhat satisfied" with the lewd-behaviored Puerto Rican who sings about our politics in Spanish. Republicans are generally "very or somewhat dissatisfied". 8 - 12% of everyone is "not sure". The Independents lean nearly majority "don't give a rat's ass."
I gotta say, I feel one with these not sure* and don't care people, no matter what party they're in. The regular reader can probably see what's coming ... It's Bread & Circuses, people! The game is too, but especially this huge hype about the halftime show is the distracting Circus, and the bags of chips and salsa are the new bread.
I don't want to hear any more about ANY of this half-time this or that! Put me in the middle of the yellow.
* Wait, they're not sure if they don't care?

PS: Greetings, Achmed,
The last time I watched a Superbowl was probably when I still did taxes, too. (Yeah. It's been a while.)
Mrs. Smith let me know today that the Seahawks won.
I just hope everyone had fun.

“I just hope everyone had fun.” You know, if there were to be a Superbowl party with people I know next year, I wouldn’t be averse to going. I’d have to just go outside during halftime and hang out with the pets.
