Well, I’m actually glad the gov said she’d vote for Eli … it served to ease the pain of the loss …

But the best team won in the end last night. And it was certainly a great Superbowl game, close throughout and came down to the last 5 minutes when both teams had ample opportunity.

If I were techno, I’d find a way to turn this game into a metaphor for the 2012 presidential election, with Palin in the Eli role!!

Good morning everyone.

To indemind and all the Giants fans, good game and congratulations.

“Obama Pulls Combat Pay for U.S. Troops” some would say they are not surprised, but I am, I cannot imagine any Commander In Chief enacting such a policy as stated in the article.

A LITTLE FAITH

The temporary church-school teacher was struggling to open a combination lock on the supply cupboard. She thought that perhaps she’d forgotten the correct combination, so she went to the pastor’s study and asked for help.

The minister came into the room and began to turn the dial. After the first two numbers he paused and stared blankly for a moment. Then he lifted his eyes upward and whispered something too faint to be heard. He finally turned back to the lock, entered the final number and opened it.

The teacher was amazed. “I’m in awe at your faith, Pastor,” she said.

“It’s really nothing,” he answered. “The number is taped to the ceiling.”

Of course, he still may have been a man of great faith. Or he may have been a man of little faith. Not that it matters, for even a little faith can move a mountain-sized obstacle.

Often, if we just begin with a tiny bit of belief and fertilize it with desire, even some of the most impossible obstacles imaginable can be surmounted and some of the most outlandish aspirations can be realized. Just a little belief, firmly held, can accomplish a great thing.

Many Warsaw Jews died during the German occupation of their city during World War II. But some survived, and some were sustained by faith. During those dark years, an unknown hand wrote this graffiti on a Warsaw ghetto wall:

I believe in the sun, even if it does not shine.
I believe in love, even if I do not feel it.
I believe in God, even if I do not see Him.

Faith, little or great, can make a big difference.

Morning all…. Pietro Leatherchest here…..a cold, blistery, drab, 69 degrees in the great desert Southwest today, breaking out a sweater and a coat…..Congrats to the Giants (who narrowly beat my Niners in over-time) a very good game….Firelight, I had to put on another sweater just thinking about all the snow you had…lol….Everyone have a good day and be safe.

Good morning!

I was a bit underwhelmed by the commercials in the Super Bowl, though I always get a chuckle out of the eTrade ads. The Giants were the only team that had former Illini players on it, so I cheered for them, and I was glad they won.

I like that the Governor has her own “baseball card”, though Refudiate makes a good point about the trademarking. I wish they would have at least used my avatar picture for her card though.   I collected baseball cards growing up, and most of them are still at my parents. Perhaps I see where the political cards are available.

Afternoon All!

Very busy day at work, but probably not as busy as Tom Brady today.  Me thinks wifey should stick to doing the catwalk in her skimpy outfits and avoid all football discussions – especially when she blames her hubby’s teammates for the loss.  It is called a TEAM for a reason.  Should be a “fun” off-season for Tommy – trying to make nice with the organization and teammates again for his ding dong wife.

I wasn’t impressed with the Super Bowl commercials, but did enjoy the Madonna half-time show – with the exception of the idiot rapper who thought it would be cool to give the viewing audience the bird.  I never expected Madonna to sing live, so I wasn’t disappointed it would be a lip-sync performance.  Duh.  At least she kept it clean and non-controversial and my hat is off to any woman being able to move like that in her 50′s.  My favorite song – Vogue with the dancers.  Least favorite – her new single.  Something about Madonna trying to dance with pom poms makes me laugh out loud.

As for the game, good stuff.  Sad that my Packer’s weren’t in it, but I love exciting Super Bowls.  I thought the Patriots had the momentum at halftime, but like the Giants have done the last few weeks, they made the plays when it counted.  I was never an Eli Manning fan, but his play over the last few weeks made me a fan.  Congrats Giants! 

————-

As for politics, I believe the Obama Administration gave the middle finger to the white Pro Life Catholic voters by his latest decision regarding how we should help people that want Abortions.  This is so disheartening and cause for great anger.  Can you imagine if the Administration ever risked going after Muslims with a position that is held by so many of their faith just to appease a voting block? 

This is why politics have taken a backseat in my life.  It is too depressing.  The GOP Establishment seems set on Romney as their candidate and he seems to be creating some separation now with the other candidates.

Of course when I mean separation that only means with the Conservative voters.  I am not sure if this is fact, but I heard that Romney will not make this latest bone-headed move by Obama a campaign issue because they are doing something similar with Romneycare already.  UGH.

I miss Palin.

Please, please, please Firelight: give us some good (and unfiltered) commentary on this one…
