4th and 99

The dollar is falling, the debt is ballooning, the Taliban is resurgent, China, Russia and African Pirates are testing us at every turn. The pot-bellied pig of North Korea is launching missiles. These are times that try men's souls, as Thomas Paine would say.

So what is the Senate up to? AP reports that it is "reviewing how college football picks its number 1 team."

Our nation's #1 standing in the world is in danger, but as long as we know who the #1 college football team is we'll all be OK! Maybe next they can get to the bottom of other burning questions like whether American Idol is rigged or what the true sum of global livestock flatulence is.

Bread and Circuses...
