Considering the fact that the Cardinals and Steelers were whistled for a combined total of 18 penalties and 162 yards, should Super Bowl XLIII go down as the best ever game of Flag Football?

The turning point in the game may well have been an interception thrown by Kurt Warner at the end of the first half, which was returned by the Steelers’ James Harrison 100 yards for a touchdown. (Despite the fact that with time expiring, all the Cardinals had to do was knock him out of bounds.) In fact, it was such an improbable touchdown, are we sure the Stanford band wasn’t somehow involved?

School children in Pittsburgh will get a mini-holiday Monday, as the city’s public schools will open two hours later than normal. But for those residents worried about sports championships affecting education time, at least this won’t happen next fall with the Pirates. (Or for Canadian readers, most likely for the Penguins either.)

And in Seattle sports fans are asking “What’s a championship?”

Back to politics. My suggestion for trimming the national debt, since paying taxes has clearly become so confusing. For anyone in the U.S. considering running for political office or accepting a cabinet level position – a six month amnesty for paying back taxes. If you think you have forgotten or misunderstood any taxes in the past 20 years you get six months to pay up and make it right, with no additional penalties. After that, with anything that comes out in the media or a vetting process the penalties will triple.
Could put a real dent in the deficit…
