The Standoff



The music started and I got with the beat. The rousing rhythm of Willie Nelson's great hit, "On the Road Again," felt so right. The song joyfully flowed out of my body. I sang my heart out. The cheering, stomping and hollerin' when I finished was tremendous.

In this galactic battle of the stupids, there are no winners. None. It's uncanny how miraculously well-armed they all are. CBS ... Sulu ... whoever the fuck advised Sulu to go all Herman Melville in a massive blog post about his time spent on the single dumbest show ever created. Who loses there? Who wins? Who's able to look the other stupid in the eye and say, "Fuck you! I'm way stupider than you!!!"


It's impossible to tell.
