Today the mighty and noble Steelers will yet again host the despicable Patriots led by Tom Brady's abominable haircut. Is it a big game? Yes. Yes, it is.
Ted Koppel speaks to the sad, sad state of the news through the prism of Keith Olbermans so-called "suspension":
The commercial success of both Fox News and MSNBC is a source of nonpartisan sadness for me. While I can appreciate the financial logic of drowning television viewers in a flood of opinions designed to confirm their own biases, the trend is not good for the republic. It is, though, the natural outcome of a growing sense of national entitlement. Daniel Patrick Moynihan's oft-quoted observation that "everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts," seems almost quaint in an environment that flaunts opinions as though they were facts.
I can sympathize with Bush on this. I wouldn't like having to give up my toys either.
Just a little bit of arrogance here...So Sarah Palin is doing a show ostensibly about Alaska. Sorta. Kinda. You betcha. Actually, no. It's about her. All about her.
Pirates!
Interesting: Recently freed Burmese dissident Aung San Suu Kyi has called for a lifting of the sanctions leveled against Burma. I can't help but think that she has a point: The sanctions could be better coordinated and targeted. It doesn't help that the ruling regime clearly doesn't give a damn if ordinary people are being hurt by for example, restrictions against tourism.
And would you really want to vacation in Burma? Really?
Looks like Ireland has managed to launch a whole new 21st century version of the Potato Famine. Naturally, it's been updated for our times so it involves the bursting of the property bubble rather than tubers. Someone please explain the "luck of the Irish" to me again?
As a service, I'd like to provide this helpful grooming note to the fellas:
Bad beard...
Good beard...
That's it for me. Enjoy your Sunday, peoples!
