Peyton Manning reportedly had surgery to repair a pinched nerve. Actually, many people consider any kind of nerve surgery “karmic,” as for years the quarterback’s commercials have been getting on their last one.

Charles Rangel, David Paterson, Eliot Spitzer. Just who do they think they are in New York. Chicagoans?

–
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has signed up to be a contestant on the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars.” And “No Fun League” commissioner Roger Goddell is no doubt trying to figure out how much the fine is for that.

So what’s a lower number. The Americans who still care about their gold medal hockey loss? Or the Canadians who still miss the Expos during spring training?

Some people think that the FAA over-reacted by suspending an air traffic controller at JFK who brought his son to work, and let the child give a few “routine” instructions to pilots. Sorry, I think “Air traffic control,” and “no harm, no foul” are two phrases that should NEVER be used in the same sentence.

US Air hero Charles “Sully” Sullenberg has retired at the age of 59. He said you know it’s time when you feel like you are working with children. Of course, the last time he flew out of JFK, he probably was.

Indeed, bringing your son into the office, while seemingly harmless, can have unfortunate long-term consequences, as it can give the child dangerous ideas. No doubt George H.W. Bush had no malice aforethought when he first had W. visit him at the White House.

Jake Pavelka, aka “the Bachelor,” is now also going to be a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars.” And this guy is supposed to be a commercial pilot with American Airlines. Seems like he spends less time actually flying the planes than any pilot not with Northwest.

Texas Governor Rick Perry won his Republican primary, after campaigning heavily on the fact that he is now turning down federal subsidies for the state. This from a man who campaigned for and took billions of such subsidies until 2008. So if his conversion is that sincere, i have a suggestion – give the earlier money back

–
Perry has also talked about, without dismissing, the possibility of Texas someday seceding from the United States. Wonder how long it would then take them to apply for foreign aid.
