Vice president Dick Cheney said that “no one saw the financial crisis coming.” 

Is he kidding?  Plenty of people saw the financial crisis coming.  Now, the Arizona Cardinals against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL title game?   No one saw THAT coming.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers being the only home team to win this weekend, will the headline on the playoff story read “Kings of the Road?”

So Tim Tebow, who has already won a Heisman and a national championship,  will nonetheless bypass the NFL draft and return for his senior year.    College football fans were shocked, not only is Tebow still putting the college experience over quick millions, he didn’t even announce his decision by talking about himself in the third person. 

Though a more cynical read might be that he was scared about being drafted by the Detroit Lions.

President Bush said on Fox News Sunday that he didn’t bail out the Republican party by leaving Iraq.   Republicans now just hope that it’s not too late to bail out the party by him leaving the White House.

President Bush apparently doesn’t spend a lot of time watching serious movies.  When someone asked him what he thought of the Golden Globe winner “Slumdog Millionaire” he responded, “Well, it seems to be a good year for movies about cute dogs and puppies.”

England’s Prince Harry found himself having to apologize again after making some stupid racist comments.   Well,  it does go to show that these days the United States is not the only country in the world embarrassed by the youngest son of a dynasty.

Last week a man with sixteen guns as he drove to Los Angeles International Airport.  In his defense, Plaxico Burris said he just was flying home after a weekend of  clubbing.

Los Angeles police were shocked when they stopped a man with sixteen guns and ammunition trying to enter the airport.  Normally Angelinos only take that kind of arsenal on the freeway.

And Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh, still with an unsigned but negotiated contract extension, is rumored to be considering an NFL position.

Harbaugh is responding to the rumors with evasions, vague answers, and basically not saying anything of substance. Yeah, maybe he is ready to be an NFL coach.
