Vegas has the line (at 1600 eastern) with the Colts -4 and the over under at an astounding 57 points!
Tonight its the Saints and the Colts in the big one. Rodan tells me from the parties in Miami that my beloved Steeler Nation is there in force (which should go without saying) and that they are 100% behind the Saints. I like that choice, but if I were betting, its the Colts winning it. The Saint’s defense is going to have play well above their 25th ranking to win this.
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

WASHINGTON — President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser expressed frustration with Washington on Sunday, saying Republicans are playing politics on national security and making ignorant allegations about the investigation into the Christmas airliner plot.
Saying congressional Republicans are using a “500-mile screwdriver” to criticize the administration about its response to the failed attack in Detroit, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan said the GOP is motivated by partisan purposes and second-guessing the case.
“Quite frankly, I’m tiring of politicians using national security issues such as terrorism as a political football,” Brennan said. “They are going out there. They’re unknowing of the facts. And they’re making charges and allegations that are not anchored in reality.”
Where was this fuckin asshole the last 8 years when President Bush was in charge and during the Election when the Democrats only played politics. Dick weed.
Is Dan Rather At Helm Of Little Green Footballs?

He said that he has to continue on healthcare & as an example a
California Insurer is taking a 39% increase on personal policies.
That is not 39% to to their bottom line, it is to cover underwriting losses & their margins are probably the same.
The only way that a national plan could curb those increases is rationing, but don’t say Death Panels.
@ coldwarrior:
Wonder if he’ll do a rebuttal on the Tebow commercials. It would be right in character.
What’s the problem with Obama being interviewed? He makes everything a political football, so there’s a connection.
Holy cow. Iowahawk’s latest.
The Israeli boy who was seriously injured over the weekend when a land mine exploded in the Golan Heights said on Sunday that the area his family had been visiting had not been marked as a closed military zone.
“At the place where we were playing there was no fence and we could all enter freely,” said Daniel Yuval, 11, adding that there “there was a fence further up the mountain.”
I feel real bad for the kid and his family. But anyone who has spent alot of time on the Golan knows the risks. Every year many cows meet the same fate.
All of his insane bannings & he allows Ludwig & Cato to continue . That tells you what a nutbag Jumbo Johnson is.
My guess is the game starts defensively. The opening drive will fizzle, and eventually some team will put up 3 points to mark the first score of the game. The second quarter will see a little more action with a couple of TD’s.
Going into the half, it will be Colts 13, Saints 17.
Then, in the 4th with about 5 mins left in the game, it will be Colts 30, Saints 24. Brees will toss a rare pick and the Colts will wind the clock down to just past the two minute warning and put another 3 up. 33 to 24. Saints get the ball, drive, fail.
Final score Indy 33 to N.O. 24 hitting 57 points total on the dot. Wooo!!!
Get ready for the ridiculous Katrina drivel throughout the game. Afterwards, a disastrous flood will strike New Orleans again… this time it will be the tears of Saints fans causing the city to seek refuge in the Superdome again. Cue photo of Saints jersey wearing fan floating face down in the murky tear water.
In all seriousness though. The Saints most certainly have a shot. Chalk me up on board with the “dislike Indianapolis” folks. But I’ve watched too many games this season hoping for them to fail and they didn’t. So maybe I can jinx them with my prediction.

Ok this is what will happen, the Colts will come out strong possibly score on first drive. Then the Saints D will hunker down. Ask Brett how that went. Saints by 8, don’t need no points.. It is their game.The Saints have motivation, the Colts think of history… Remember Giants at Patriots. Game over

Obama is rooting for the Saints at the White House Superbowl party. He says it’s important for ‘Social Justice’ in America that the Saints be allowed to win. I’m thinking the next step is for Congress to pass an affirmative action point-handicapping plan for certain disadvantaged teams.

Here’s a plan to raise tax revenues:
“The bill to allow casino gambling was introduced by Rep. Jon Riki Karamatsu, a Democrat who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
HB 2251 allows for a gaming commission to issue one 5-year license to a casino gaming operation in a county with a population of more than 500,000 — i.e., the City & County of Honolulu.
The bill would limit casino gaming to persons over 21 who are either nonresidents or have round-trip tickets with a final destination outside of Hawaii. It would also create a wagering tax on casino gaming.”
Get that? Hawaii residents not allowed to gamble!

Very much. Abortion is big business in America. Hundreds of millions, perhaps as much as a billion in “sales” every year. If something happened to make that “choice” less attractive, they lose money. And at the end of the day, it is all about the Benjamins. Less money for Big Abortion is less money in the coffers of the Democrat Party. It really is that simple. The Republicans and pro-life people won’t, for some reason, make that obvious connection and come out and say that their opposition is pro-abortion. I hope it is for the money. Otherwise, they just want dead babies for the sake of dead babies, and that is insane.

A truly vicious—and probably effective—anti-abortion campaign could likely be done by collecting all those “dead baby jokes” that were popular among elementary school kids in the late ’60s, and issuing them as part of an anti-abortion book.
@ chickadee:
Yep, that was what I was referring to. What a cop out. McConnel didn’t tell them not to fuck it up, so of course they went and fucked it up. Who wouldn’t have?

How can one be worse than the other? Dead babies for dead babies sake or dead babies for money? They’re both disgusting. The left has always and will continue to suck the life out of the very people they say they support…sick bunch they are….
@ buzzsawmonkey:
Yeah. I like that. Abortion is another of thse positions where I have changed my viewpoint because of the actions of its proponents. The Libertarian in me says keep the government out of it, but Roe v. Wade was an awful decision and should be overturned. But the shere creepiness factor of the pro-aborts have driven me into the pro-life camp. I probably would still keep the government mostly out of it, but I’m definately against the pro-aborts.
@ Whippet:
One is pretty sociopathic, but the other is downright psychopathic. I agree both are sick positions.

I sure agree with that!

My path on abortion is much the same. I was in the camp of “it ain’t the guv’ment’s bidness”. One day I thought, (1) “why does abortion occupy the highest plank of the democrit platform?” and (2) “In the law of nature, what could be more perverse than ripping a baby from its mother’s womb?”
Pete’s up.
Half time show sucks.
@ Iron Fist:
Agree. Very well stated.

There’s in my mind a disingenuousness factor. They claim that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare”. And they they flip whenever someone tries to discourage it.
I don’t know if the doctors themselves couldn’t make as good money doing something else, but Big Abortion basically means Planned Parenthood. And they are addicted to the income.
@ Beltfed:
Like viewing a corpse at a wake. I would prefer to remember the departed as they once were.
I am a fan of the Who, but the irony of them singing Baba Oreily, “Teenage Wasteland” at their advancing age is hard for me to escape.
@ Whippet:
Maui has nice beaches on the Kihei coast. Night life is not big deal there. Hana is a time capsule back to 1960.
Oahu has it all. Shopping, night life, restaurants,nice beaches outside of Waikiki if you do your homework and explore. In the winter there’s the North Shore surfing to see. Those guys are nuts!
Big Island has few beaches. Very young island. It’s beautiful country style resorts, good fishing, and active volcanoes.
Kauai is my favorite. Unreal beaches, the most natural beauty. Waimea Canyon (Grand Canyon gone Aloha!), Hanalei Bay is like walking into a post card. But Kauai is the wettest spot on earth. So rain can ruin a vacation.
I suggest she do as much research she can about each Island. Allow 5-6 days per island visited.
We’ll be fighting in the streets with our rascals and our peeps…..
And speaking of disingenuousness, I resent the way the abortion enthusiasts have hijacked the word “choice”. It’s a dishonest euphemism. If I want to legalize pot, and I say I’m “pro-choice”, that’s not the understood message. It’s cowardly and dishonest to hide behind the word “choice”. If the hempsters are brave about to use the word “hemp” or “marijuana”, then the abortion enthusiasts can jolly well spit the word that describes what they actually want legal. They’re not very proud of it if they refuse to even say it.
@ huckfunn:
I’ll add to that 3) Why is this “right”, which is not explicitly in the Bill of Rights, more protected than any right that is enumerated in the Bill of Rights? If they protected the Second Amendment as drastically (dare I say extremely?) as they do abortion, 12 year olds would have the right to buy nukes without informing their parents. Seems extreme to me.

@ IslandLibertarian:
Thanks so much! Great information that will certainly help in their decision. Sounds like each island is worth at least a stop but there’s only so much time…..now they can narrow down some of their research based on your information.
@ coldwarrior:
Sure

I really like the Who as well. I have seen them in concert. I grew up with them, one of the staple bands we listened to as teenagers in the ’70s.
For me its a bit disconcerting seeing them now, since I can’t help compare them in my mind to their performances from back them.

@ IslandLibertarian:
Thanks again! How do you work out there? It’s so incredibly beautiful I can’t imagine being cooped up in an office!
Is the game over? I think my neighbors stopped screaming.
