OK all of you hard-bitten Republicans out there, it's time for you to give it up for (drumroll, please) Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts! Why would you applaud Lurch, er, I mean, Sen. Kerry? Well, it seems the esteemed Sen. Kerry recently penned a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell petitioning him to have the upcoming New England Patriots game broadcast on regular TV. For those of you who don't follow sports closely, New England is one victory away from the first undefeated pro football season in over 30 years. Millions of people will be glued to their set to watch the outcome. If you still don't understand why this matters, read no further, this Bud's definitely not for you!

Apparently Mr. Kerry's missive must've had some impact since Mr. Commissioner has acquiesced and agreed to put Saturday's game between the Patriots and the NY Giants on both NBC and CBS. Now, that's a politician with clout!

Now, let's see if Mr. Kerry can take it one step further and propose an amendment to The Constitution that requires all NFL games to be broadcast on free TV. The NFL network is an abomination to our liberty and an affront to all freedom-loving Americans.

If Mr. Kerry can accomplish this feat, he'll definitely get my write-in vote for Prez come November!
