Please forgive Verbal Jazz

Verbal Jazz normally likes to remain on top of zeitgeistian pop culture moments. Verbal Jazz was there to help you make sense of Janet Jackson's right breast; Verbal Jazz guided you through the conflicted feelings you had when it seemed certain that A-Rod would go to the Red Sox; Verbal Jazz guided you through the meaning of political polling and the Al Gore endorsement of Howard Dean; Verbal Jazz even stayed up to watch the State of the Union. This weekend I did not watch the Grammys, the NFL pro-bowl, or pay any attention to the three presidential primaries held this past weekend in Washington, Michigan and Maine. Verbal Jazz apologizes for his lack of attention to these details. Long ago, Verbal Jazz decided that the NFL Pro-Bowl and the Grammys did not matter much, except to the people who watch them. The Pro Bowl comes after the crowning of the champion (ie the Super Bowl for those who watch it for the ads) and taste in music is way too diverse for an award show (i.e. the Grammys). As for the primaries...well, if you do not know John Kerry won all three your name must be Dennis Kucinich.
