Chicago—This really sucks for the Cubs...The Super Bowl takes place this weekend on Sunday 2/4/07. Pizza, hot wings, beer, and anything else that might give you a heart attack before the next time the Bears make it to the SB will be consumed in massive quantities. So enjoy now and hit the elliptical later. Don’t forget to wear your Bears gear!
Groundhog—“I saw my shadow. It made me look fat” (New Yorker Cartoon)...That hated hog did not see its shadow this morning. Could that mean spring is just around the corner? Well, today’s high is 7 and tomorrow’s is less than half my age and I’m 23. Spring is laughing at us from the end of a very long cold tunnel. But, who knows, global warming could punt is into the high seventies by next Friday.
Hollywood—McDreamy has McChildren...Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian welcomed twin boys into this world this morning. In keeping with the tradition of incredibly weird names, the boys will forever (until they change them upon film/television success) be known as Darby and Sullivan. Ha ha ha ha... actually that makes me laugh out loud when you put the two together. It sounds like a comedy line up or a musical act.
And now for some actual news...
Iraq—I sure hope by now they use recycled paper...The National Intelligence Estimate has issued its report regarding the current Iraq situation and it painted a grim picture for success in Iraq . The report, based on findings from a number of intelligent agencies (which makes me a little nervous b/c I thought we only had three or four), states that chance for success is a bit of a long shot. The Sectarian strife has almost reached a point of no return. Now this is like the twelfth government report that has stated pretty much the same thing...But apparently the twelve report program is the best way to reach President Bush.
Michigan—People are people no matter what they are (story provided by Jen)...The Michigan Court of Appeals has denied public universities and government agencies the right to provide healthcare and other benefits to same sex partners. The court cited a 2004 voter ban on gay marriage as the source for their ruling. With 47 million people without healthcare in the US , why not add a few more to the mix.
