In these times of economic stress and government insanity it is things like this that make me confident of the future of America.

I’ll take two please (I need to feed three sub-Saharan African countries and that should just about cover it).

* I almost created a new category for the post which was “triple awesome”.

Sorry it took several days, but here is a video right after the final whistle.

My lunch discussion led to me finding this link.  It’s great working with geeks.

What an amazing home opener, beginning with a march through Seattle with Drew Carey and the Seattle Sounders’ own marching band, “The Sound Wave,” and ending with a 3 nil win over the New York Red Bulls.  2 goals and one assist = Montero is a god!!!  I was unable to attend, that J-O-B getting in the way.  Gonzo did though, hopefully the Gonz can post about attending the inaugural Seattle Sounders FC match.  In the meantime, here’s a little recap.

GO SOUNDERS!!!

For those of you who are interested here is break down of our government’s 2010 spending.  Including closer looks at the three of the largest and most important.

Man.

He wins the Sounders Super Search and then plays for three weeks on the squad and is cut.  Brutal.

OLIVEIRA CUT: Sounders SuperSearch winner Vini Oliveira did not make the trip and is no longer with the Sounders, less than three weeks after winning a competiiton to attend camp. The 20-year-old from Sammamish High and Bellevue CC had played in two games (one start) for a total of 75 minutes. The Sounders held a three-city competition -- Seattle, Yakima, Spokane -- to find one player to try out for the Sounders. Oliveira won the competition on live television after the Super Bowl

Of course there is no mention of this on the Sounders site.  I ran across it on a fan site.  The only mention I see of it in the press is at the bottom of this article. (which I quoted above)

A friend passed this video along to me.  Very cool, even if you aren't a football fan.

some are a bit far fetched, or at least took several takes, but it's still sweet.
