Friendly skies my hiney... the TSA has another black mark against it as a rep has stolen $5k right out of the pocket of a passenger.  Hey six suspended here...  Rand Paul issues there... these people are awesome, huh?

There's a few people who aren't that happy that JC Penney has hired Ellen to be their new spokesperson... about a million of 'em.  Sure she's gay, but she can dance like no one's business.

Leon Panetta is out today with news that Israel may be ready to take pre-emptive action against Iran.  Iran has been working on nuclear capability they say is for energy production, but Israel isn't having any of it.  Their army chief says they have to ready to strike, because if they wait, it will be too late.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney says Panetta's removal of troops from Afghanistan is misguided. 

Interesting to me that when the country, and arguably the world, is getting ready to sit down for the Super Bowl and consume mass quantities, researchers are out with a crazy idea that sugar should be regulated as a toxin... and maybe regulated like tobacco and alcohol.  Would that mean they'd have to check Midge at halftime???

Michelle Obama says the president has made remarkable progress on the economy.  The comments came as she spoke to a small group of movers and shakers in California.  Wonder if the folks at American Airlines agree with her?  No worries... she's been talking up the economy for a while now...

Hazzah!  No more pink slime in burgers at the Golden Arches...  ba ba ba bah baahh indeed.

Oh yeah, and some people think sugar should be regulated as a toxin.

President Obama is pressing Congress for more help for homeowners.  Mitt Romney is not concerned about the very poor, but wants to focus on the middle class.  And Rick Santorum thinks the free market should set prices, even when discussing drugs with a mom and a sick child.  Ah, Nevada should be having fun right now, huh?

If I had another life, I think it would be fun to be a treasure hunter... especially if I got a hit like this.

News of a Pfizer recall today, dealing with birth control pills.  Of course, that giant baby born in Iowa last week might be enough to keep women from wanting another baby anyway.  No drugs?  Wow...

Meet Ken Block.  Dude is a crazy good driver and here's a ton of clips of his recent trip to France.  I don't think I would want to be that stunt guy...

First of February, so why not see what we should be worried about for the rest of the year.  US Intelligence head James Clapper listed our greatest threats and they include Iran, al Qeada, and believe it or not drinking water.  I guess I'm a little more worried about drug resistant bacteria and a bullet that can get me after travelling a full mile.

Real history today...  how about a letter from a freed slave to his former owner from August 1865...  how about the couple who've been married since April 1933...  and kudos to Fox News.  They've been number one in the cable news business now for 10 straight years.

Mitt Romney won Florida's primary and did it with more votes than Gingrich and Santorum had combined.  He also took some flack from the head of the Senate military panel, who said he has no clue. 

You might be hearing "Quit bogarting the Cheetos" across the country as more and more states are looking to legalize marijuana.  It can't be time for a comeback, can it??

They take Spanish in night school and get a B?  That's so funny I can't breathe...

What a dunk... and check the fan reaction at about :11... classic!
