Nation Of Wusses Whose Butts Will Be Kicked By China

With the Eagles-Vikings game postponed from Sunday to tonight, due to the inclement weather, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell declared, "We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything... If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down." (He also said, "This is football! Good lord, Vince Lombardi would be spinning in his grave that we canceled the football game for the snow.")

Mmmm

I was just looking at the workers shoveling like an army at Chinese-owned factory down the street, and they were all pretty happy. It's pretty impressive compared to the one dude with a snow plow across the street.

You missed the sight of the 500 pounder sitting in a beach chair hogging a parking spot in Greenpoint.

One of the reasons we're falling behind China is pandering idiot politicians more concerned with football games than public safety.

"Spinning" in his grave? People, its "turning over". Get it right or don't use the term at all!

Spinning, turning over, and rolling over are all acceptable.

Have you ever heard someone command their dog to "turn over"? I rest my case.

The real question is, what would have a Chinese Vince Lombardi done?

"If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game?"

No, but then the Chinese government doesn't give a crap that hundreds of people might've been killed in car accidents on the way to/from the game.
