Best Endorsement Yet?
Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris. That's serious stuff in Steeler Country...
From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette blog:
From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette blog:
"Sen. Barack Obama emerged from Soldiers and Sailors with Franco Harris and Jerome Bettis and a color-challenged version of the Terrible Towel. Mr. Obama waved overhead a blue towel emblazoned 'Here We Go America; Here We Go.' Cheering crowds that lined O'Hara Street waved back with their own copies of the towels that had been distributed by campaign aides. Mr. Obama held a football but didn't attempt to throw it, thus avoiding the risk of an embarrassing YouTube video. Then the Bus got on the bus along with the candidate."

Inquiring minds want to know: was anyone thrown under said bus? :-/

Ben, I hadn't even realized the golden opportunity that presents for use of said metaphor. Nice catch.
And Louis, grasping at straws? More like trying to have a little fun here.

I love grasping at straws. In fact I was captain of my high school straw-grasping team. We went to state. But go ahead, be a hater. It's tougher than it looks.

Our intramural team was called the Talons.
We finished fifth in the Residence Hall Division.
