Super Bowl XLIV

That is all...

UPDATE: Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. 

I must say, this was one of the better Super Bowls I’ve seen.  Good football.  Two likable teams.  Two great QBs.  Great coaching on the Saints’ side and good coaching for the Colts.  Good refereeing and they let the players play. 

Good game.

White House Wants People to Stop Being Critical of Their Governance

Waaaaaaa!  WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

An exasperated White House newly committed to preaching partisan peace slammed Republicans for playing politics on national security and making ignorant allegations about the investigation into the Christmas airliner plot.

Deputy national security adviser John Brennan complained Sunday that politicians, many of them Republicans, were unfairly criticizing the administration for partisan purposes and second-guessing the case with a “500-mile screwdriver” that reaches from Washington to the scene of the abortive attack in Detroit.

“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.”

Oh, cry me a river.  First off, many of us have serious concerns regarding the administration’s handling of our national security.  Second of all, do these guys not remember Bush’s last term? 

Put on your big boy pants, Brennan.
