Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Until they won the coin-toss to start today's football game, the New England Patriots had lost 11 straight coin flips. Having beaten a good team in Indianapolis today, 38-34, they've won eight straight games and are 10-2 for the first time in franchise history. If they beat Miami next week, they'll clinch the AFC East.
Before today's game, Terry Bradshaw called them the best team in the NFL. They made a better case for that in the first half today than they did in the second half (or against Houston last week). Their offense didn't look as good -- and their defense wasn't nearly as bad -- as the score indicates.
