Seriously, Miller Lite’s one second commercial was the only really funny Super Bowl ad.
Anyway, I was gone this week because I flew out to Denver and drove back to Charleston in a Penske truck to help move Jeff back to the Palmetto state. In my absence another issue of The Procrastinator came out and it would behoove you to read it (click here procrastinator-1-30). The byline for this issue says, “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time” and I’d say that perfectly describes the newsletter. Give it a read, I promise you’ll enjoy at least something in it and it’ll get your mind off whatever bullshit work is dragging you down.
This issue starts off with a piece I did analyzing President Bush’s legacy, then goes to Brad’s Bonfire of Inanities about how people need to clean up the trash left by the crowds at the inauguration, which is followed by Rusty Lee exploring the ambiguity of Representative Democracy, followed by Brad’s gonzo journalist take on his experiences at the inauguration, then onto a Fifth Column story that Jim wrote for a competition that required him to turn in a mystery story, and finally Michael “the Chairman” Orr caps things off by arguing that there is no such thing as the moral high ground.
Plus, we’ve all added quick quotes about what the inauguration meant to us and to the world at large. Just an interesting spin for this issue.
As always you are welcome to leave comments about the newsletter on this post or, thanks to Mike Orr, you can go to The Procrastinator Online, which is a blog he created to archive all the stuff we do for The Procrastinator. So go there to read anything you missed or to comment on our musings.
That by-line on the cover page is a Bertrand Russell quote, if anyone is interested.
Anyway, I totally agree about that High Life ad. By far the best of the night. And really the only good one I saw. It was mega-lame.
Oh Bertrand, that wiley bastard.
Yeah, that was a good issue of the newsletter. All political but all the articles were different enough to keep interest. Good stuff.
