A little mix of both this Tuesday. Boy, is the football season flying by fast, or what? I’m still sticking by my Steelers / Saints Super Bowl picks, but then again, I had the Rays and the Phillies in the World Series, too…

I’m actually surprised Wade Phillips llasted this long. Texans don’t suffer the Cowboys with the “loser” tag for long.

Great, so this is how the Obama White House acts as guests in a foreign country. What a bunch of jackasses…

Maybe the Patriots ought to have tried this play during yesterday’s thrashing by the Cleveland Browns. After beating both the Saints and the Pats, I don’t think anyone’s going to be lulled to sleep by the Browns the rest of this year.

Put me down as enthusiastically supporting Nancy Pelosi’s push to return as House Minority Leader. What a great country: you preside over the largest loss of House seats since the Great Depression, and your argument to keep your position is so you can “create jobs and save Obamacare”? I mean, you just can’t make this stuff up. But Nancy, rest assured you have The Great White Shank’s unflagging support in your quest. I hope calmer heads don’t prevail.

Michael Vick’s story may not be the stuff of Hallmark Channel movies, but you can’t deny the fact he’s playing great right now. And the Eagles look like geniuses taking a shot on him last year.

This is far too complex an issue than paint with a broad brush, but there’s little doubt that the welfare state brought on by Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” of the ’60s and expanded by Democrats and progressives since then have done African Americans far more harm than good. I’ve written about this before – when all you’re left with after a half-century is the wreckage of failed programs and empty promises is a race card played when anyone dares propose alternatives, that, my friends, is called failure with a capital “F”.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Falcons fans. Atlanta’s good, but December ain’t here yet, and they’re not good enough to make it to the Super Bowl this year.
