Buffalo

Growing up in north central PA without cable, most of the news I was exposed to came out of Buffalo. And I got to see those poor bastards go to four consecutive Super Bowls and each year have their collective balls nailed to the wall. Not being a Buffalo fan it was wonderful. 

For those who do not know, coma victims, amnesiacs, the thing about Buffalo is that they are insane about their football. And in the run-up to each contest there would be lights and decorations and bragging and on the local TV stations they would run congratulation and good luck ads from the local newscasters and, naturally, it would be nearly the lone subject of the sports newscast.

However, after each loss, nothing. I honestly can't even remember the Buffalo news reporting the loss. It was as if the Super Bowl had never occurred. 

Now, the question is, tomorrow, if by some miracle Obama wins,  well, will Fox News just go on pretending that the election never happened? Will they pretend John McCain won? Will they pretend Bush was crowned King? 

I guess we just have to wait and see.

Anyway...
