Interesting essay from Robert B. Reich in the NY Times on the Democractic party, The Dead Center.

I don't buy into Howard Dean's populist rhetoric, so for me there's no reform movement. Whatever happened to Bill Clinton's democratic rhetoric? I loved his stuff.

My college alma mater makes the NY Times for sports, Grinnell's Unusual Style Leads Nation in Scoring.

Favorite superbowl ads:

Sony - the cute guy getting excited over the TV system

McDonalds - the husband hitting on his wife after he accidentally throws a McDonalds wrapper in dryer. So gross but very funny.

NFL Network - Jerry Jones, Bill Parcells and various NFL players (the losers) singing "The Sun will come up tomorrow" from Annie. Still my favorite spot.

NFL.com - some kind of ad spot about advertising with the NFL and one of the sports announcer saying "Being rich is muy bueno". What was that about?

Nextel - the race car driver scoring a touchdown with his car on the football field.

AOL - the guy going on his motor cycle and saying he came back from the Renaissance. How funny is that and that outfit.

Budweiser - wrong lipstick ad

Bud Light - Cedric bikini wax

So when Justin Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson's shirt off, and we glimpsed her breast I thought it was deliberate and she wearing a pasty over her nipple.

I had no idea that was I was seeing was the real thing. Oooops!

No wonder Phil Simms and and Brian Gumbel were very disturbed and made all those nasty comments about the half time show.

Honestly, I thought they were trying to compete with the lingere bowl on pay per view.

Check out The Drudge Report for what she was really showing. It's very odd looking.
