Giving Afghanistan monetary support to win the war
The Bush administration, Condoleezza Rice included, are lobbying Congress to give more money to support the war in Afghanistan — a bold move, considering Bush doesn’t seem to be getting any support, except maybe from Tony Blair. But I think we need to keep our support going steadily in wars we’ve invested in.
Funny Super Bowl commercials — some made by you!
The best part of the Super Bowl is the commercials, let’s really be honest. Yeah, sure, the game is great and everything, but what people pay the big money for is a 30-second spot to advertise their stuff. And this year companies have asked amateurs to make their own — everyone from FedEx to Alka-Seltzer held contests to see what the good ol’ United States had to offer humor-wise. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they were better than the real

Cantabile put on a great show for captive audience
Going to the Cantabile show on Jan. 25 is one of the best choices I’ve made in a long time. It was an awesome mix of Madrigal and a capella music, musicianship and British humor.

Presidential hopefuls fall asleep during address
Apparently, President Bush’s State of the Union address wasn’t the most captivating speech a lot of presidential candidates had ever heard in their lives, but come on, people. They’re politicians for heaven’s sake! They should have lots of practice trying to look awake during boring proceedings. Or maybe they’ve always slept, and no one has bothered to notice before now. Ten dollars says those with tendencies to sleep during proceedings hate YouTube.
Michael Jackson coming back to the United States
After a self-imposed exile following his child molestation trial, Michael Jackson is coming back to the United States for an unspecified amount of time and then heading to Japan for a couple of fan appreciation shows. Does anyone else think he should just stay in Japan? He’s one guy America would be better off without.
