What&#8217;s next?  Vegas?  Or maybe Roger Daltrey will cut an album of duets with Sarah McLachlan.  Otherwise, though, it was a very entertaining football game, though I&#8217;d have appreciated it if they&#8217;d started (and ended) a little bit earlier.  I skipped through all the commercials &#8217;til I caught up to real time toward the end.  I saw one commercial that I thought was pretty funny, though.  It was something to do with a guy joining a woman&#8217;s book club, and one woman asks the guy, &#8220;so, do you like Little Women?&#8221;  And he says, &#8220;yeah, I&#8217;m not fussy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What is it with New York&#8217;s Governors?  The latest speculation is that Gov David Paterson will resign as soon as a NY Times story on some sort of sex scandal runs.  Rumors I&#8217;ve heard are that Paterson and his wife are &#8220;swingers,&#8221; which, believe it or not, is a class B misdemeanor in NYS (not the swinging, per se, but the adultery part), punishable by a $500 fine or 90 days in jail.  I think we&#8217;ve finally found a way to wipe out our deficit.  If Paterson goes, I want Spitzer back.  And please, sweet Jeebus, let there be no sex tape.<\/p>\n<p>House Democrats have cranked out a pretty interesting chart detailing the job losses during this and the previous administration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/morningseditionists.com\/msblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/jobloss.jpg\" alt=\"jobloss\" width=\"450\" height=\"274\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Republicans immediately responded with a chart of their own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/morningseditionists.com\/msblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/republicanresponse.jpg\" alt=\"republicanresponse\" width=\"450\" height=\"274\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The liberal media dutifully reported that there was a dispute between Republicans and Democrats over which administration oversaw more job losses.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, seeing as I&#8217;m not one of those who lost their job (yet), I reckon I&#8217;d better go to work.
