Imagine opening up someone's medicine cabinet and finding this

Apparently branded condoms work so well,

New York City will be putting out their own "Big Apple" branded condoms

for that special "Big Apple" in YOUR life...

You in the Northeast think it's cold? Next week...

Next week it will be at least this cold, and maybe colder. It looks like the cold will hit and travel more central to the US, as in like Chicago and points south, as opposed to this cold snap that quickly slipped east.

During the American Revolutionary War, New York got so cold, some of the Hessians on Long Island WALKED FROM LONG ISLAND TO CONNECTICUT. Cannons were rolled over the ice from Staten Island.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is on a quick weekend getaway to sunny Iraq.

I can see it:

Pelosi: Mr. al-Maliki, I know you may be wondering what us Democrats are going to do now that we're in charge of the purse strings in Congress. I'm here to assure you of one thing:

Al-Maliki: What's that?

Pelosi: That the US is going to pull out of Iraq.

Al-Maliki: In case you haven't noticed, there's a civil war going on and--

Pelosi: Not our problem

Al-Maliki: Well, you did come in and broke this country down and left us with nothing but warring factions and --

Pelosi: Not our problem

Al-Maliki: But the US troops here now are actually a stabilizing force and pulling out will do nothing but cause thousands of more lives lost because of --

Pelosi: Hey, I watch CNN. All I see is death and destruction. If there's not a bloody picture to show, CNN doesn't show it, so I'm pretty sure your country wasn't stable at all. You won't miss the US troops, anyway.

Al-Maliki: So, why did you come all this way, come to talk to me if all you plan on doing was pulling out your troops? Is there nothing we Iraqis can do to convince you that the US troops are actually a necessary thing in Iraq?

Pelosi: No, I'm sorry. I made up my mind about the US troop pullout after I realized the Democrats had both houses of Congress.

Al-Maliki: So why did you come here?

Pelosi: The trip makes it look like I care about the situation in Iraq. When in reality, I don't give a rat's ass about you.

Al-Maliki: Do all the Congressmen feel this way?

Pelosi: No, but they soon will.. We'll be cutting off funding as fast as we can. Congress will have to decide whether they're with us -- or against us.

Turn about, fair play?

How DO you measure "progress in Iraq"?

By the fewer number of torture-to-death victims found in the Baghdad city morgues?

Super Bowl Commercials: Are they worth it? No, and No

I'll still watch and comment on the commercials, but I doubt if there'll be more than one commercial aired during the Super Bowl worth talking about come Tuesday.

Interesting that Coca-Cola is coming back to advertise after being away for over a decade. Hmm...

For those who have trouble consuming wheat, there's a couple of gluten free beers coming to the US market - including one from the makers of Budweiser [Slashfood]

Turns out Jesus boy here can sing:

sound req'd

I wonder how he'll do when they all have to sing Barry Manilow songs

And finally,

A pic from the State Of The Union speech --

I don't know what Condi Rice
looked like when
the Republicans were in control,

but here's a glimpse
of her now that
the Democrats are in charge:

Ya'll brighten up your mood and have a glorious weekend!
