It was nice for our state to actually get a little recognition today. I can't remember the last time our state has been acknowledged on a national level. The last time the Packers were at the Super Bowl? It got me to thinking, when will the next time be? What possible event could take place in which Wisconsin will play an extended role in national news. Every possible scenario had one variable in common: Brett Favre.
The obvious possibility would be Brett Favre's retirement. I have long thought about what will happen on this day. Schools would be shut down. The elderly will die from sadness. Men whose blood was pure alcohol and brat grease would no longer be able to thrive off of their adrenaline, which was the only thing keeping them from dying of heart attacks for the last decade or so. It would rain, not a violent storm, but a slow steady downpour with the clouds blocking out the daylight.
After this day, the next time the proverbial sun would come out for Wisconsin in the media would be when Brett Favre chose to run for governer, President, and Pope all in one shot. He would make Friday required-pick up football day, with cheerleaders and everything. There would be no war, and all conflicts would be resolved in sudden-death overtime (not to be taken in the literal sense). It would be the most glorious era in the history of the Dairy state.
So fear not Wisconsinites, despite the fact that rough waters are ahead, they will ultimately lead to a utopia... a glorious beer-battered utopia.
I want to make the song of the day a totally unrelated song. For the past two weeks, I have been bathing in the sounds of the Dekoder remix of Menomena's "Weird". I decided to make it the song of the day today because I heard it featured in a Mountain Dew commercial (ad can currently be seen on the Mountain Dew link in promo section).
