Maine Lining

Once in a while the internets collide with the real world in a way that should be instructive for all who follow the ebb and flow of perception and reality. This was, if you ask the Pix, one of those weeks. While Romney and Obama droned on Tuesday night about taxes, Libya, unemployment, the deficit, immigration etc.....both candidates ignored a story that encompassed all of the above (with the possible exception of Libya).

The Pix refers, of course, to the injustice served in Kennebunkport ME where Zumba specialist and job creator Alexis Wright was arrested by the jackboot thugs of the local constabulary. By the way, according to the official Zumba website, Zumba is "an exhilarating, effective, easy to follow, Latin inspired, calorie burning dance-fitness party". Ay Carumba. Ms. Wright, a local entrepreneur and fitness enthusiast, was arrested and charged with (amongst other things) tomfoolery and ballyhoo. The Pix doesn't have time to right every wrong in the world, but when it comes to the fusion of latin inspired dance and men's health issues.....the Pix won't take it lying down. Or sitting in his car in a parking lot. Or on a massage table. Wait, what?

Anyhoo, it seems to the Pix that young Alexis is just the kind of constituent whom Mitts and Hussein purport to champion. A young woman trying to break through the ass (I mean glass) ceiling? Yes. A small business owner? Indeed. An immigrant who worked hard to gain citizenship the right way? Um, not sure, but she has a good tan. It seems to the Pix that as an amateur film maker AND tax paying member of the middle class, Lexi is a solar panel on her roof away from a million dollar subsidy from Yobama's green and pink jobs initiative.

The Pix is just confused by the governments's hypocrisy. Not since the unlawful incarceration of Pussy Riot, Flavor Flav, or Ghandi have the scales of justice been so off balance.

The Pix:

Texans -6 over Ravens. Speaking of Latin inspired dance, it's so sad to see double murder accomplice and dancing bear Ray Lewis out for the season. The Pix will miss trying to interpret Ray's pre-game rants. I usually average one word out of 5 if you count the dog barking.

Pack -6 over Rams. Aaron Rodgers is steadily becoming a favorite of the Pix. This week he called out Donkey Shannon Sharpe, who may be even harder to understand than Ray Lewis.

Titans +3 over Bills. True story, this week Uma Thurman and whoever she is married to released the name of their newborn daughter: Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman -Besson. No pretension there....."Better known to her friends and family as Luna. Each name has a special reason and meaning to her mother and father" Have fun filling out the SAT application Luna.....might want to grab an extra #2 pencil. And is "special meaning" to the parents a thing now? In that case, the Pix would like to announce the adoption of his new goldfish....Deliciousness Remote Control Steak BB Gun Brunch HBO Late Night Mimosa Case-Thurman. Just kidding, the Pix hates pets.

Cleveland +2 over Indy. When your most reliable winner vs. the spread is the Browns, you might be having an off season.

Giants-6 over Redskins. This just in.....the Vagiants are scary good. Not so good? A-Fraud and the Stankees. If there is a silver lining in the 2012 Red Sox season, it's watching with child like glee the emasculation that defined the Stankee post season. .188 at the plate. Runs scored in 3 out of 39 innings. A-roid trolling the stands for companionship. The Pix could write 5 posts alone on the schadenfreude champs of 2012. Perhaps a steady regime of Zumba would help them?

Patriots -10 over Jets. Just wondering......if you own 6 pairs of jeans but can only fit into 2, and you never even bother removing the assigned belt from either pair at night......time for some exercise? Anyone? Let's just move on....about the Patriots, there's something strangely fun about the Pat's 3-3 start. It's as if the Guru himself orchestrated this record. Losing 3 games by a combined 4 points, a rejuvenated ground attack, Stinkovich playing like he has a pulse.......all encouraging signs. And if you were to ask the average Pats fan.....they'll probably tell you we are all a little tired of winning Power Rankings in weeks 10-16 but no championships. And the Jets could not be arriving at a better time. No idea what Rex has been doing with his wife's feet, but he has been chewing on his own all week in the media. Pix Special.....Pats 41, Jets 12.

See you in Zumba class.

Pix out.
