Rod Oksendahl and Hillary Clinton

For those of you who know who Rod Oksendahl is, you might find this amusing. For the rest of you, you will probably find it amusing too, just that you won't get the tie in to Rod Oksendahl.

The other night, I had a dream that I was a quarterback in the NFL. Now before you die of laughter, know that I wasn't the first string QB. I was 2nd or 3rd string. But anyway, something happened to the starting QB (I think it was Favre), and so one of us others had to take over for the upcoming game. The coach didn't care which of us took the position as long as someone did. He left to think about which he was going to put in and I was secretly hoping that he would pick the other guy, but got a call that I was in.

So I went home to get ready. I was all excited to tell my dad the big news, except he had already heard it on the news from Pat Sweeney (the local sports anchor in Grand Forks). I was bummed that I didn't get to tell him but was getting nervous about the game. My dad told me not to worry and that he would drive me to the game. I wondered how I would get home and then realized that I could catch a ride from Sonny, but then was worried I would be all sweaty.

So when I woke up, I had to chuckle to myself because the mere idea of it all was so funny. Then I started to laugh again when I thought of Rod Oksendahl day. This was just a guy who was the football coach for many many years. What would they do for the girl from my hometown who was an NFL QB?

Quick sidenote about Hillary (one 'l' or two? who knows?) Clinton. Did anyone see that thing about how she flipped out at some guy who asked a question that was misinterpreted as asking how her husband felt about something and she freaked out because she, "...is the Secretary of State and (I) will tell my opinion but I won't channel my husband" blah, blah, blah. When they showed the story on the news, they ended with, the man (who asked the question) later apologized. Seems to me, Hillary should have apologized to the man. I mean can you even imagine this poor man who doesn't even speak english getting chewed out? She was clearly the one in the wrong, and she clearly wasn't thinking that she would want to seek a public office again when this job ends with how she freaked out. But I digress.
