by Bush's reelection so maybe there's some Karmic Boston curse where we can't have it too good on both fronts (sports and politics) in the same year. It would go along with the fact that the Yankees only win the World Series during Democratic presidencies for the last 50+ years.

Anyway, my other solace is going to have to be the rest of this Newcastle Winter Ale.

So God bless my fellow DUers, God Bless my fellow riteous Pats fans, and fuck all the asshole New York evil imperialists. Especially the celebs on twitter like P Diddy. God I hate I hate P Diddy.

2008 - Patriots LOST, and a democrat won White House

Just as that one receiver caught the ball near the sidelines to keep the Giants moving down the field with less than a few minutes to go, the same thought occurred to me.
