Jake Newland is a football fan. Mostly Georgia Tech and the N'awlins Saints, but any game will do. Jenny, on the other hand, thinks that the only smart thing George Will ever said is that "football combines the two worst elements of American life: violence and committee meetings." But when Jake suggested they go see "The Blind Side" at the Bon Twit movie house, it was something to do, so she went.
"That was a great movie," exulted Jake as they sat over milk shakes at The Whistle & Thistle. "That family really helped that boy. He's playing in the pros now." Jenny didn't say anything.
"And wasn't that a funny line, when the dad said that who would have thunk they'd have a black son before they every met a Democrat."
"Yeah," said Jenny, "wealthy white Republicans helping a kid is so unusual, they had to make a movie about it."
