... I can't help but wonder...

Why is it so many want Les Miles fired, yet we keep electing the same people to Congress?

Because with Congress, they are given a choice of something potentially much worse. With Miles, their choice is some idealized candidate that must be better. That's why Obama trailed some "generic republican" in the polls, but lead every actual republican candidate during the lead up to the 2012 election.

I sort of doubt the voting crowd and the CFB crowd have an abnormally high rate of overlap.

People in general care more about sports than their congressperson?

Les Miles is the winningest coach in LSU history. When he becomes 2nd best we can discuss his firing.

Obama is the worst President in US history, with the possible exception of LBJ. But firing him is more difficult.

Aye. But if people followed the direct f*cking Gruber, Pelosi, Reid and Obama have dished out over the last six years with the same sense of accountability for lacking success and underperformance.... Our world would be a very different place today.

It's astounding. How much has the democrat party promised and failed to deliver to... say, the Black community? Why haven't they fired the democrats they keep hiring?

The same could be said for conservatives still voting for establishment republicans (through that seems to be falling).

It's just odd. People get all riled up over college football (which has zero power over their lives) and try to fire a coach by proxy.... while simultaneously not caring that the people they elect, and have REAL power to hurt them... treat them more like serfs, and subjects than citizens of equals.

Maybe I'm being cynical and over-generalizing.... But it seems we have some f$cked up priorities as a culture today.
