- Yes, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl, and proud we are of all of them, and of our lovely co-worker who got to go see her hometown team win in person. Except, maybe, those who live in Washington State, who probably have cause to bitch about the officiating. But all I have to say to the Seahawks fans is this: That's what you get for trademark infringement, bitches.
- Speaking of grand traditions, Super Bowl advertising was a complete flop this year. Best ads, in my opinion, were the United Airlines ad and one for "Mission: Impossible 3." Nothing nearly memorable, though. Cavemen? Thanks, FedEx, Geico's already been there. A show-stopping number with women dressed as hamburger condiments? Whatever, Burger King. Ugh. So lame. Seth Stevenson over at Slate has some good insights, and is a better read than the live bloggers at AdFreaks, who seemed to like every single ad that was broadcast during the game.
- So Attorney General Alberto "Abu" Gonzales is on the hot seat over on the Hill right now, trying to defend the administration's violations of numerous federal laws in order to get shitty "evidence" by wiretapping without a warrant. Once again, Senate Republicans refused to allow a key witness to be sworn in before giving testimony. What are they so afraid of?
That's all for now.

No kidding. If it weren't for that touchdown scoring gadget play, the whole ordeal would have been a complete bore. And that includes the Stones.
