Before we get to the much-anticipated Super Super-Bowl post, our last football related post until perhaps the NFL draft and then pre-season when every young PD and ASA is sure they can win our world-famous Survivor Pool, and hushed conversations are overheard in chambers about where to draft Tua in a fantasy football league;  we have some serious news/thoughts for you consider. 

If you wanted to get the attention of the beer-swilling, wing-eating world, what better event to announce your presence and/or intentions than the Super Bowl? It's not like you are going to get much attention if you show up at the Vermeer exhibit at the Rijksmuseum, which has been called "the blockbuster exhibit of the century". Because let's face it, most federalist society judges reading this post will quickly Google Vermeer and Rijksmuseum to figure out what we are talking about (a liberal art exhibition, in case you're wondering. The kind of thing Federalist Society lawyers sue the NEA to prevent government money being spent on exhibiting Girl With a Pearl Earring in the US).  

So if you want to get the attention of Hank and Harriert as they return from the Piggly Wiggly, not to mention Sam Alito, George Santos, Vlad Putin, Marjorie Taylor Moron Greene, and Ron DeSantis, then perhaps the Super Bowl is your best venue. 

Are we talking about a terrorist attack? Nope and hopefully that is not part of the story today. 

Abortion vs. Right to Lifers? Nah. 

Rihanna groupies? No, but don't bet that she leads with Diamonds  💠at the half-time show. If Rumpole knows a song she sings, and we only know one, then it must be a mega-hit which means she will close with it. 

Hialeah Property lawyers protesting the new law removing their ability to get attorneys' fees for plaintiffs? Not even close. 

Watch this description by Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand- scroll to 1 minute in: 

"A small cylindrical object..." which is not a Chinese Balloon 🎈. Hmmm.... can you say "INDEPENDENCE DAY?"  

ET PHONE HOME?

AREA 51?

Yes dear readers, let us be the first to go on the record as saying we are deeply suspicious that this is the opening chess moves by an Alien Race, visiting earth, preparing to make contact TODAY during the Super Bowl. 

Imagine their conversation as they decelerate from warp drive and approach Earth orbit:

Klatu: Gort, who should we contact first? 

Gort: That's an excellent question. There aren't really any men or women of intelligence who are in charge. 

Klatu: Yes, Earth abandoned leaders with intelligence around the time Adalai Stevenson lost for president in 52 and 56. 

Gort: Well, Jimmy Carter was smart. 

Klatu: And look what happened to him. 

Gort: This would have gone better if we could have got here when Obama was president. 

Klatu: Then next time I remind you to recharge the Di-lithium crystals before we leave, please listen to me. 

Gort: Well, who had to stop at Starbucks and get two dozen lattes for the trip, Mr. I need my caffeine every morning?

Klatu: Moving on, how about Trump or Netanyahu?  

Gort: One's indicted, one's about to be. 

Klatu: Emmanul Macron or Fumio Kishida? 

Gort: Too flashy, and no one knows who the other guy is. 

Klatu: Stephen King or J.K. Rowling? 

Gort: Fiction writers. No one will believe them. 

Klatu: Fox News?

Gort: Ditto. 

Klatu; Then it's down to plan NK I guess.

Gort. Yup. The only world leader than everyone listens to and studies. The one person who can grab the attention of the world and lead a peaceful collection of leaders to meet with us so we can discuss how our technology can help them reverse global warming and a cure all vaccine for the upcoming Covid 24.  

Klatu: Just remember, 49% of Americans and 99.8% of Republicans and 100% of Federalist Society judges in the US do not believe in science in general and global warming in particular. 

Gort: Then it's the one leader who believes in science and has the gravitas to bring the rest of the world on board while helping stop the inevitable panic our appearance will create. 

Klatu: Yes, but first, can we wait just until after the game ends? I have the over parlayed with the Eagles at DraftKings Sportsbook and I'd like to collect. Start my earth experience with some real money. I'm dying to try some NYC pizza. 

Gort: Of course. So you have his cell phone number?

Klatu: Hang on...ok, right here, to contact.... we need to call, let it ring once, hang up, call, let it ring twice, hang up and then call a third time. 

Gort: And then Kim Jong-Un will pick up. 

Klatu: It's a plan. 

Gort: Like Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. 

Klatu: Or their advance probes are shot down.
