Mr. Irrelevant

Some of you readers are about to enter into a learning curve. The National Football League draft is looming ahead. For the guys who are drafted in the first three rounds there's big dollars in bonus signings. A guy doesn't even have to do much but sign his name on a dotted line and he'll be buying cars and bling for his entire entourage. The draft runs all the way through to pick number 256; the very last guy picked on the board. Some of you might think this is an embarrassing position. I mean, who wants to be picked last in grade school for dodgeball? Well, in the NFL this guy receives accolades and gifts plus trips for being just that, "Mr. Irrelevant". I have decided to bestow another irrelevant title but this time on a former politician. And the winner is------Bill Clinton. The dude gave a speech the other day on the anniversary of the upcoming Oklahoma City bombing in which he claimed the Tea Party folks, Glenn Beck andRush Limbaugh had better watch out in case some of their followers might want to carry their activism to an extreme. In other words, and they are his words, not mine: Extremist Tea Partiers and conservative talk show hosts could be viewed the same as the Oklahoma City bombers. I'm willing to present a theory that not many people in the USA had the opportunity to hear the speech or had its contents explained to them. And do you know why? It's because the NFL doesn't have the only Mr. Irrelevant. You'll find many of them in and out of Washington D.C. on a daily basis and the biggest of them all is nicknamed "Bubba".
