The First Monday After the Super Bowl Always Sucks

Okay, after sleeping on it, we're angrier than ever over the last-minute holding call. To have a Super Bowl determined on a ticky-tack call like that...Mrs. Stroock is actually okay. We're furious. Also, the field was a disgrace.

Otherwise, the Eagle's defense let them down. Andy Reid finally out coached someone in a big game. The announcers were fine. Most of the commercials were blessedly uninteresting, also unwoke. We did like the women's flag-football ad. Rihanna was 'mid' as the kids says. Overall, a fine game, till the ref's bullshit holding call. Andy Reid is an all-time great coach, and the NFL is in the Patrick Maholms era. 

Great back-to-back days at the gym. We needed them preparatory for Mrs. Stroock's Super Bowl spread. Pigs in a blanket, spinach and artichoke dip, sushi, meatballs, cheese and crackers. We've eaten worse at Super Bowl buffets.

So, SODA PDF refunded our money after auto-billing us twice in 7 days. They did this after we called them several times and finally took to Twitter. To be honest we really have no idea if the SODA people running the Twitter end of things were aware of our phone calls. Those calls took us to a dark place where we said things like, 'Don't be sorry. Be quiet and listen.' Did that work? We can think of other occasions where we become a complete asshole over the phone. A lot of occasions, actually, usually out of anger and frustration. We can say for a fact being nice over the phone didn't do anything. But thinking about going nuclear, we're cringing.

Israel's judicial reform law has advanced out of committee and will go to the Knesset for its first reading next week. The Times of Israel has a good breakdown of the law. The left has taken to mass protest, general strikes and disrupting Knesset proceedings. These are the acts of those powerless to control events. Where have we seen this before? Hmmmm...There's talk of violence and even civil war.  JFC, the left is the same everywhere. 'High ranking' members of the government have responded positively to President Herzog's call for compromise. Exit question, is Israel on the verge of a CIA style color revolution?
