-A civil union if I ever did see one-

Oh, SSFA! readers, we've had some good times. Some real laughs. But let's put erotically posed G.I. Joes down, it's adult time now. That's right. It's all fun and games until some self-important jerk starts toying with idea of running for Congress.
The breaking news Tuesday afternoon is that former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling was contacted about making a run at Ted Kennedy's vacant seat in the Senate. Wow. You gotta hand it to the Republican Party, they do have a good eye for marketing. What better way to win over the bluest of blue states than with a bona fide Bahston Red Sawk? Who's he gonna run against? This guy?
If Schilling knows what's good for him, he'll decline on this nonsense for many years to come. Most MA residents still know him as the clutch guy. The bloody sock. The guy who helped get their bread bowl eating hands on the 2004 title. That's fine. But Schilling has a big I-Can't-Shut-the-Hell-up problem. He openly bashes other athletes, aggressively campaigned for Bush, and did commercials for Ford. Yeah, Ford. I know it. Disgusting.
"My hope is that we're past that (bi-partisanship). That we're past the whole R and D thing." Schilling said when asked if he thought running as a Republican in MA was a good idea. Heads up, Curt: We ain't. We just want to remember you as the pitcher, man. You did good. We all still like you (sorta). Don't mess that up.
Fun fact: Did you know Curt Schilling is an avid role-playing gamer? He runs 38 Studios, a developer of on-line games. Huh. Something new every day. Still Curt, keep your +4 gauntlets of Scion to yourself and off the Capitol building.
