Its half time, the Colts are in the lead by 4. The saints had a great second quarter. The second half should be good.
The Who did a brilliant halftime show.
Next year is uncapped salary year, then if negotiations fail, its another NFL players strike. Regardless of who you root for, or even root at all, enjoy the day!
The Nor’eastern that blew through the mid-Atlantic dropped record snow in DC, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, et cetera. It was strong enough to drop 21” in Pittsburgh. That’s the 4th highest total in history. There are pictures on part 1 if you want to see the

Saints recovered.

What a great game!
How bout dat! TD Saints!
@ coldwarrior:
They drop it; we cover it.
While I like the old stuff by The Who, I’ve been listening to those tunes for 40 years. Wish they would come up with something new.
Saints seize the lead!
@ Whippet:
here’s a link to an outfit my daughter works for on Maui.

the saints gotta stop manning here.
@ coldwarrior:
Mannings ass needs to be sacked. Deflate them.
I love how Sean Payton (Saints head coach) is letting it all hang out.
I’d LOVE to see “Poutin’” Peyton get sacked!! Right on his ass.
Oh yeah,
Greetings from snow-besotted DC!

Dalty looked like he needed a good enema to allow his diaphram to work.
My tenant says they don’t sound as good as they used to, I said wtf they’re older than I am. I wonder how much they mad for that performance? How many people think John Entwistle was alone when he died?

WOW! The census ad was the lamest expenditure of my $3mm I’ve seen so. far
Saints kick FG, down by 1.
Credit where due: Google had a nice ad.

The announcers’ curse strikes again. Brag on the FG kicker and he misses.
@ citizen_q:
And that was a small amount compared to their other B.S. programs.
$300 mil to bribe a senator for starters.
The Who are really old, their voices are hoarse, and they couldn’t sing — just yelled and screached. They’re a sad reflection of what they used to be.
However, I gots to admit the electrics, lasers, and fireworks were brilliant.
First and ten
Do it again
(Still cheering)

great hospital there.
Bill Picone is a marvelous psych. Living in DC does have a few upsides.

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now just keep that ball out of Poutin’ Peyton’s hands……
TD saints
good challenge
7 point game!
Bud beer does it again – excellent ad
@ Dolphin:
I think they have the very best Super Bowl commercials. Did you ever see their tribute to 9/11? It brings tears to my eyes.

I have that one saved to my hard drive.
Manning = the ultimate bobblehead.
@ Fritz Katz:
Their voices weren’t at their prime, obviously, but it didn’t sound like yelling and screeching.
Both defenses have gotta be hurtin’ from all the running around.
OK…they really did just ruin a great Cheap Trick song.

Even if the new light bulbs were just ducky in every way, the idea that the government can tell you what bulbs you can buy with your own money—irrespective of whether you are willing to pay the cost of running the more expensive ones—is totally obnoxious.

Heh! Oops! The law of unintended consequences strikes again.
snip-
High efficiency traffic lights are being blamed for layer of ice and snow that completely covered stoplights across our area.
According to the West Bend Department of Public Works, ice built up over new high-efficiency LED fixtures installed in traffic lights. The LED traffic lights use substantially less electricity but do not give off enough heat to melt ice or snow.
That is a contrast to traditional traffic light bulbs that typically generated enough heat to melt ice and snow.

DENIED FUCKERS!!!!!!

Sounds more totalitarian than obnoxious.

@ mjazz:
A sci-fi plot if there ever was one.
@ Bordm:
Of course the answer will be to put in heaters that burn twice as much energy as the old bulbs. Go Green!
@ NoThreat2U:
Whooo hooo!
SWEET!!! They earned it on the field!
Congrats, Saints!!
Who dat win da Super Bowl?
Congratulations to the Saints!

Very much like the low-flow toilets in this motel. They only use about a gallon of water per flush; but you gotta flush 6 times to get it all rollin downhill. Somebody forgot to tell the engineer that the main purpose of a toilet is not to save water.

Well, if I break one, I might wrap it up in plastic and say a prayer and pollute the environment and throw it in the trash.
@ huckfunn:
I’ve noticed that everything the greenies push, ends up having the opposite of their intended effect. Don’t forget the big, plastic bags to save the trees push, a few years back among many other fail ideas.
I wonder if the motards will complain that the Super Bowl is a Crusader war against Islam since the SAINTS won?????????
@ huckfunn:
Where are you at? A couple of weeks ago we were in SA, TX annd the hotel had a half/full flush toilet and I was very impressed!
@ huckfunn:
There is actually a black market for the older type of toilet.
I wonder how much tobacco will go for
ifwhen they make it illegal?@ Bordm:
I’m all for saving money, but redesigning traffic lights that don’t ice up while using the new bulbs could create a carbon footprint that would take years of new bulb use to pay off,
Lib’s don’t think it through.
It got us “0″(pronounced zero) fpr prez.

There is a new generation of low-flow toilets that do seem to work. The commode industry had to hire a bunch of PhD’s to help them with the, um, fluid dynamics. Frankly, they should come up with a neat logo to help them sell…

Well, WTG Saints. Time to sign off. Thanks for the conversation yinz guys.
NFL / Saints ads are damn annoying. Somebody in the Third World needs to get ahold of the Indy/Super Bowl Champs shirts that’ll get dumped there, and resell some of ‘em back here.

Well, just a bit slower than some!

Well, a team called The Saints just won.
This is ponytail-yanking-out-of-head level bad craziness in his view.
The Saints won! I watched a little of the game, but I’m not much of a football fan.
I did watch the Animal Planet “Puppy Bowl VI” special though. Very cute; came with a kitty half time show, hamsters in a blimp and bunny rabbit cheerleaders. They’ve been repeating this same episode all day and it’s on right now.

Worst. Half. Time. EVER!
I rooted for Manning and the Colts but it ok…God had other plans for Peyton – maybe humility – who knows? It is a good story for N.O. a lot of good people gave to that city and what a blessing it is to have something to celebrate. It is easy to ascrive political ideology to a game of this magnitude. But at the end of the day, such attributions are kinda silly.
For my part I enjoyed the WHO – They gave what they had to give …and the Tebow ad, while refreshing was much ado about mothing – the census just made me ill. That is my money being squandered for Alinskyism – ugh!

@ IslandLibertarian:
I never thought that Hawaii would or could have a drought. All kidding aside, I do believe that reasonable water conservation needs to be a part of urban and rural development. However, I fear the government’s control over that resource as I think that it can and will be used as a political weapon. We have 2 houses in Texas and 1 in New Mexico and water is increasingly an issue in both states. I’m pretty sure that rainwater collection systems will be in any new upgrade budget.

Good night. Cogratulations to the Saints, they came by it honestly.

Oh, the super bowl, The Saints…is that the same team the Dallas Cowboys beat this year down in New Orleans?

the census add was weird.

…Anyone notice all the ads featuring people getting whapped upside the head? I wonder what the ad agency polling said about that? But anyway, the Lefties need some sense beaten into ‘em…

I had the game pretty much backwards! Congratz Saints fans. I was hoping they would win.
I seriously cheered against Indy for several games after they went 6-0. I watched many games where they came back and won… so I had to do a little reverse psychology on myself. It worked! Yay.
PS. The Colts owner is a jagoff. Rush Limbaugh was right (he picked N.O.). Yes!
