Yeah, Right, Whatever

First things first... today is the 97th anniversary of the birth of Ronaldus Magnus.

ok... Sorry about the lack of posting. Wasn't feeling great, and there wasn't much to post about. Sure, there was the Super Bowl. I tried posting on that- I got a whole paragraph. Want to see it?

There was a big game last night. Some even call it "super." They say the ads weren't all that this year. Some are saying that the Lesser Manning might be as good as his big brother (not sure about that, but time will tell). He made a catch that will go down in history. According to him, if you feed your defense enough bs, they'll start to believe they can beat the unbeatable... and actually do it (I'm still trying to find a link for the quote I heard on the radio- it was great). Halftime went freefallin'(dude... you're sounding good... and looking old...) . And, in defeat, we learn that genius coaching doesn't always lead to good sportsmanship. And the old koots are still in Perfectville all alone.

Inspirational, eh? Yesterday, it was Super-Duper Tuesday, and, in the world of current events, nothing else was allowed to happen except that (and this parade). Now that the national nightmare (Super Tuesday) is over and done with, maybe we can get back to normal. Maybe...

Let's see what's in the news, shall we?

BREAKING NEWS: It's snowing in Wisconsin. This is news? Seriously... that's "breaking news" today...

Politics:

• Evidently, yesterday was "global primary day". Not sure how that works with delegates...
• Speaking of delegates... here's the current count.
  
• But what if we don't want universal health care?
  
• Some people weren't paying attention to their own state's primary dates. At least these people showed up early.
  
• The Clinton campaign says, "oops."
• I missed this last week. Thomas Sowell compares McCain to Benedict Arnold. Ouch. (h't to a listener on Rush's show today)
• San Fran's Grand Nan schmoozing for NASCAR Dad votes? Good luck with that.
  
• Poor atheists feel left out of the election process. Whose fault is that?
• Invisible ink? Some people might just be too stupid to vote.
  
• This column mentions "suicide voters"- if our choice is a liberal Dem or a liberal Republican, then let the Dems take the blame for the mess we'll be in.
  

General:

• I guess the Muttawa need to switch to decaf.
  
• This is one of the reasons I don't give money to people on street corners with little cardboard signs.
  
• I'm all for smaller government and less legislation, but... this just makes sense, doesn't it?
  
• We know how Heath died now. Can we move on? (no offense to the family... they need time to grieve. The rest of the world, however...)
• Israel's building a fence along their Egyptian border. They didn't already have one? Silly Israelis.
  
• Al Q is targeting the US. Who knew? I mean, besides everybody.
• This terrorist video is disturbing, but not surprising.
  
• Speaking of terrorists... they're not very bright, are they?
• Take a look at this photo:
  
  Yes, that's a baby, being tossed out of a 4th story window. Amazingly, he was caught and is doing ok. At press time, there was no news on if his parents made it out of the building.
  
• The dingbat Republican (who said all Republicans were small government) who authored the "no fat people in restaurants" bill didn't think it would pass- he said he was just trying to "bring to light" the problem of obesity in Mississippi. uh... he could have just asked everyone to look around.
  

Science:

• Technically, scientists already know how to kill viruses (viruses are very fragile- they don't respond well to extreme heat or cold. Unfortunately, the temps required to kill a virus will also kill humans.) Now, scientists are looking at shaking as a way to kill viruses. Question is whether or not the frequencies will also damage organs.
  
• I knew that twins in utero kick a lot (duh). But I didn't know they could kick hard enough to dislodge a tumor!
  

Sports:

• Unless the Blues do something interesting, there won't be much sports news until spring training. I have to agree with Peyton on this one.
  
• Bob Knight retired. He couldn't have waited until the end of the season? odd...
  

Other:

• So... does this qualify as a "stupid non-criminal" or a "stupid police" story?
  
• This will totally freak the boy out in about 5 years...
  
• I think I would just get a new key.
  
• Our first mother of the year nominee.
• This guy was arrested for singing a song. Makes you wonder what the "for radio" edit would sound like. Probably one long "beeeeeeeeeeeeep."
• Some people take things entirely too seriously. Then again... that is an odd name for a plant.
  
• Intentional flatulence? huh?
