Stay the Course, now with Extra Crap!

MANIFESTO

Is it because I think of many things in sports terms, or is there really some parallels between the current Bush strategy and that of the Giants' owners? (And yes, I realize the importance of the two things are incomparable.)

In the face of one-sided public opinion (see: recent chants at a Giants home game, any current political poll) the brilliant men in charge decide that they are not going to change direction (keeping Coughlin, no troop drawdown). But not only that, in seeming defiance to everyone who claims to know better (the American public and the new Democratic majority, the fans and the press), they actually decide the best thing to do is add on more of the suck (new troops, an extra year extension).

I guess that makes the Giants "America's Team!" Sorry Dallas.
