It’s Monday Morning. May I Have My Quarter Back?

by Staff Writer

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary contains the following info:

Main Entry: Monday-morning quarterback
Function: noun
Etymology: from a fan’s usually critical rehashing of the weekend football game strategy
: one who second-guesses
- Monday-morning quarterbacking noun

Education.yahoo , and The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (which offer no hyphen), provide the same definition:

One who criticizes or passes judgment from a position of hindsight.

These definitions do not apply to me! Until the end of the voting day tomorrow, this quarterback is definitely NOT throwing twenty-twenty hindsight around. I’ll pass on that, thank you ☺

I may occasionally have written a pretty offensive line in support of The NEXT American Revolution, and exhibited unsportsmanlike conduct or unnecessary roughness towards the Republican and Democratic Parties, and if so, I am sorry.

It’s only because the game is on the line tomorrow, and the neutral zone is no place to be huddling. The owners are throwing an all out 2.5 Billion dollar blitz at the fans, hoping the crowd stays out of the game altogether.

The left guard is trying to make the right tackle uncomfortable issues, and the right guard is hoping to make the left tackle its undeveloped game plan. Neither side has made any forward progress in years. Instead of insisting on a measurement of their character, the fans themselves should bring in the chains until these two teams are all tied up.

I’m an Independent Line backer, and I realize that sudden death for Democrats and Republicans and their illegal motions isn’t likely; but overtime… I know we can win.

No, I won’t guarantee an upset tomorrow. Joe Willie, I’m not. I’m not really even a quarterback, but come Tuesday, November 7th, you won’t find me riding the pine, or running out the clock . I’ll be in the game, not down and out.

When it comes to a government of, by, and for, the people, maybe this year we can take a quarter back, and then half back in 2008. If all goes well, our government may have earned the full backing of its citizens by 2012.

Neither left nor right, I stand strongly behind the center, and I’m calling an audible from these sidelines. Yesterday’s games are over. Don’t let tomorrow’s game be just another coin toss between Republicans and Democrats.

Oh, yeah, and just one extra point…

To achieve our goal, posts like this need to be shared, so pass it along until everyone learns about The NEXT American Revolution! The internet provides near immaculate reception, so don’t drop the ball fumbling for stamps and envelopes. Email ‘em!

The time has come for a little razzle-dazzle… for special teams to take the field and change the whole complexion of this game. Together we just might go all the way.

Up the Revolution!
