So lately we've been trying to get into sports. Or at least thinking about trying to get into sports. However, when the mental image of us actually playing sports hits, it's not pretty, sort of like picturing "Samwise" from Lord of the Rings doing a serious ballet piece, perhaps with large slabs of Broccolli strapped to his wrists and nipples. See, while organized fun can be enjoyable, for those of us who are extremely bad at it, and would much rather read a book (or be plopped in front of a beer), it's somewhat akin to one of the dudes from the Redneck Comedy Tour reciting Leon Uris. And go ahead, call us "snobs" for that last comment. It's time to embrace our place in the world. An ex-girlfriend recently pointed out that, empirically, we (and most of our friends) are, well, kind of snobby. And to emphasize said snobbery (and also point out that those folks reading this who don't think they belong said ex-girlfriend's "snob" pool are sorely mistaken), allow us to point out a recent statistic, taken from a poll by The Economist, which plainly stated that, at minimum, 11.8 million Americans believe President Bush to be either "liberal" or "extremely liberal". God help us.
