Here in Michigan, a 2 vs. 2 card game called Euchre is very popular.

The main part of the game is to win a set of cards for you team (a "trick").  Each round, you want to get the highest number of tricks (out of 5 possible tricks, you only need to win 3).  Now to do this, your card has to have a bigger value than the rest of the cards to win the trick.

Lets say that one of your opponents plays a card that has the biggest value in the game, called the "right bower."  You have the second highest card in the game: the left bower. 

Now, you need to play a card, but you know you can't top the right bower -- this trick is already theirs.  You have 2 options: you can waste your left bower, your most powerful card; or you can throw away another card. 

The first option would make you look like a complete idiot to the rest of the table.  The second option would allow you to win the next trick, and maybe it would help you win the round.    Any novice euchre players know this.

Now lets apply this to last night's speeches.  In this case, Obama is the right bower.  He's the star of the Democratic Party, a lot of people like him, and he gave a pretty damn good speech.

The Republicans could have easily given their opposition speech to a lesser known party member, someone who doesn't really have any hope of winning the presidency (a congressman or a senator).  Because lets face it: after a president gives a speech and recieves multiple standing ovations, there's no real point to having a response.  That's what the Democrats usually did after Bush gave a speech.

Instead, they play their rising star: Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.  He's young, he's not white, and he's energetic.  He's everything the Republican party hopes to be seen as.  He was the Republican's hope for a president in 2012.

He was their left bower.

So I know that I haven't been posting a lot, but apparently there's a new president or something, so I guess this should be an occasion for posting or something important. 

Um....so I uh...have been swamped with college shit, but I DID find time to go to Meijer over the weekend (it's pretty far away from campus).  I went with a few friends and we geeked out in the toy isle (they have a BUILD YOUR OWN LIGHTSABER KIT!!!)

We all decided to buy nerf guns.  They got pistols. They didn't have any left for me.  So I bought this huge motherfucker:

It's a SNIPER RIFLE.  That thing has bolt action, a bi-pod, a scope, 2 clips, and it can split up into 2 other nerf guns.  This is a CHILDREN'S TOY.

Also, did you guys see that 'G' commercial on TV that has Lil' Wayne talking about something?  I mean, what the fuck was that about?

Oh, and apparently Bush isn't president anymore. Did anyone else hear about this, or who is replacing him?

I was watching thing clip on Indecision 2008 website.



Now, watch the video again, but notice Jon Stewart's hair color. The dude is 38 and graying in this thing. What happened?  I don't remember that election all that well (besides Florida), but was that election THAT stressful?
