Superbowl Sunday is upon us, with all its hype and hoopla. Since I’m not a fan of the Cards or the Steelers, I’ll be doing what I always do: eat great food and watch the commercials. If you want to gear up for the game, you can catch some of the all-time best Superbowl commercials, so you can see if any of the new batch measure up.

And if you’re affected by the chicken wing shortage, never fear…there are plenty of places to turn for great menu ideas. You can try something more upscale, like the gourmet offerings featured on, well, Gourmet (the grilled steak sandwich with chimichurri and bell peppers is one of their suggestions); or go more down home with Food Network, which offers their own version of sliders, kicked up with chipotle sauce.

Or order out…this is a pizza parlor’s big “Christmas” rush. So, what are you serving at your big bash?

It looks like there will be no luxe “retreats” or fancy new planes for those taking bailout money under the new regime. The Secretary of the Treasury required that Citibank forget about their new plane, while they’re relying on our hard-earned money for their continued existence.

Count me among those glad that our money won’t be going to ensuring the extravagant CEO lifestyle.

Some people would take a government handout and feel ashamed (the bureaucrats at Unemployment certainly like to make people feel bad). But apparently Citigroup has decided that a fancy luxury jet, manufactured in France, is a wonderful way to spend our hard-earned dollars. Kinda like that guy at Merrill Lynch who decided that $86,000 rugs would be a good expenditure of cash when his company was going down the toilet (though at least he’s now agreed to repay the $1.2 million he spent to redo his office).

Why are we trying so hard to save these people from their mistakes, when so many regular people are struggling and failing to keep their heads above water?

Yes, Rush Limbaugh did say it.  Are you surprised?

He’s really saying that he hopes Obama’s plans to involve government in business will fail.  And just imagine if that happens….the banks will fail and our entire economic system will crumble.  Won’t that be so much better?

It was just a poor choice of words on Limbaugh’s part.  After all, it’s not like he makes his living with words.

The Chief Justice only has 35 words to say in the whole inaugural. But yet, he managed to flub his administration of the oath of office to President Barack Obama so badly that the pair felt compelled to have a do-over yesterday. Just to ensure that no wackos out there try to contest his presidency, based on the fact that the word “faithfully” was placed in a different spot within the sentence.

So now, Obama is officially, completely—and perhaps doubly—our president.
