Very long, very exhausting day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think I’m showing how to use new tools effectively. What I got accomplished in about 45 minutes would likely have taken three days using the old methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, there’s still a ton coming about what’s going on in Afghanistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve listened to a few takes on various podcasts, etc., but there’s really no way to sugar-coat this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Operation’s over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s try not to do that again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can point all the fingers you want. Every President since 9\/11 bears responsibility. The current administration, and the corporate media will try to pin it on someone they don’t like, but what’s the point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every excuse found, there’d be an easily-found counterpoint. When you’re not playing for one of the two big teams, it doesn’t really matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of not being on teams, Tim Tebow was released<\/a>. That brings me to the bit I’m recycling from my drafts folder —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanksgiving Football<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Thanksgiving 2014:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, what the fuck, NFL? Six NFC teams? Part of the draw of Thanksgiving football has always been that one game was a conference rivalry (often in-division), and one cross-conference game. Lett us not forget Leon in the snow at Texas Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The games were actually pretty good this past year. Thanksgiving Football is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. Keep the early games as they were previously; one cross-conference, one divisional. Lions and Cowboys. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. The nighttime game can be all-AFC. Somewhere cold with snow would be pretty neat. I could definitely go for seeing a game in Buffalo, Cleveland, New England, etc..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
