A lighthearted look at news of the day:
Some people were critical of President Obama’s State of the Union address for glossing over problems. But cut him some slack; with Republicans now in control of Congress, there are a lot of elephants in the room to ignore.
---
The president said, “the shadow of crisis has passed.” He talked about smart American leadership. He talked about how wonderful the U.S. economy is. Apparently, someone switched his talk with a chapter from a utopian science fiction novel.
---
The president spent a lot of time talking about everything that’s good in the economy. He didn’t say one word about the threat posed by deflation. I guess he decided to leave that to the NFL.
---
Is it just me, or has some of the air been taken out of the upcoming Super Bowl? Are we having trouble getting pumped up?
---
One thing may be said with certainty, all the talk about the New England Patriots cheating to win the AFC championship game is not overblown.
---
The NFL says 11 of the Patriots’ 12 game balls were deflated by about 2 psi. Now, if it were the old Houston Oilers, this would be believable. Nothing is losing air faster these days than the oil market.
---
Speaking of oil, is it just me, or does “crude oil” sound like something they use to lubricate the cameras on the sets of television sitcoms these days?
---
I just hope no one here discovers how deflated my keyboard seems at times.
---
Shaquille O’Neal has been sworn in as a reserve police officer in South Florida. That’s what I call the long arm of the law.
---
Utah lawmakers begin their annual session this week. Republican leadership is already talking about the need to raise taxes. Maybe it was their talking points that were accidentally switched with Obama’s State of the Union address.
