Politics has always been a love of mine, but even I'm getting tired of the Presidential race. It's great that the country is all, "Yay, Politics!" but it's kinda starting to feel like the 4th quarter of a football game after a whole day of tailgating.
Here's what I mean...
For an 4 o'clock game game, you start to party around late-morning or lunchtime - that's America 21 months ago. It's all a little fuzzy, right? Remember Romney? Huckabee? Hillary?!
By kickoff, you're feeling pretty good and are psyched because you got past security with your flask by stuffing it in your crotch (don't judge) - that's the USA circa-2008 primary season.
Then the 3rd quarter rolls around and you feel hot and tired from boozin' it up in the sun all day. Welcome to the post-Olympics, pre-conventions lull in August.
Then there's an unexpected interception-then-fumble in the 4th quarter (Sarah Palin), a reliable 5th-year comes off the bench (Bill Ayers), and the team from the richest school readies for an upset (Obama + $600 million in funding).
When the game's over half your friends are passed out by the grill, and the other half want to go out and "celebrate," but all you really want to do is go home, shower and take a nap with your dog.
I guess what I'm saying is...America, can we call this thing already? I need a shower and a nap.
BTW...Wyatt Cenac from The Daily Show agrees with me.

I'd like to shower with your dog.
Yes, yes, I agree. It's been very exciting, very inspiring. Very ... enough.
i do love your metaphor
So true, and so hilarious...can't wait to read more!
I love football season!
Well Matt, yes we are tired and ready for this to be over with - but we're behind by less than a touchdown and on the 1 yard line ready to score...now is not the time to give up!! This has been quite an exciting game, hasn't it? Definitely one of the most inspiring things I have ever been a part of!
Thank you so much for visiting the JCRP HQ on Wednesday and talking with us for a while! We enjoyed it!
