No, I’m not making fun of Tebow crying — I know I would if I lost a championship — but the picture pretty aptly illustrates the elephant in the room here: Christianity.

Why do Focus the Family and CBS want to mess up my Superbowl with polarizing moral issues?

Confession: I don’t watch the Superbowl for the game, but for the new collection of ads. So I’d like to know who had the bright idea to make a stridently pro-life ad featuring Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, who decided to carry her fifth child to term rather than aborting him as her doctors suggested. Good for Pam that the fetus she decided to keep grew up to become a talented college football player, but sports is an …

It was only a matter of time before the blogosphere sprung forth something like MadoffMail. Here’s the site’s raison d’etre:

I got this in an e-mail from my uncle Johnny–whom I love dearly, despite his deep-rooted political paranoia. Note: I do NOT endorse this position:

The object of the game is to destroy American capitalism by having the Government take over everything!

Tokens include: a Bus, a Teleprompter, a Sprig of Arugula, and a Waffle Iron.

Wanna play? No??? Too bad, you’re already playing… And quite frankly, in this game, NOBODY wins!

All bow to the great and powerful Obamanama

This comes from Alex Koppelman at Salon. Here is the best nugget in Jesse Jackson the Younger’s prepared (?) remarks:
“Madam Speaker, if there is a God, and I believe there is, and that god distributes grace and mercy and talent to all of his children, on Aug. 28, 1958, he visited Gary, Ind., and touched a young man with an abundance of his blessings,” the congressman said. “With that gift, that young man, Michael Joe Jackson, would touch and change the world. His heart couldn’t get any bigger, and yesterday it arrested.”
Can you count the unfortunate phrasings?

They retort. You decide.

I’m a sucker for this kind of photo-history. There is some good stuff here stretching all the way back to FDR, including this picture of a utterly-badass King Farouk of Egypt.

See it here.

A useful (gasp!) amateur YouTube video that helps illustrate what Obama’s pledge to cut $100 million from the federal budget in the next 90 days amounts to in the Grand Scheme of Things.

Cribbed from Greg Pollowitz, great photo of the lanky Commander-in-Chief digging up some roots in his wife’s new garden.

Let me preface this by saying I like Mos Def as an MC and an actor. But boy, is this clip rough to watch. For the second time in as many years, Mr. Definitely (as Hitchens hilariously refers to him) uses Bill “Not insightful enough to be a pundit, not funny enough to be a comedian” Maher’s Real Time to reveal himself as a loud, ignorant conspiracy theorist who is, to his limited credit, at least smart enough to merely imply that he’s neutral on Al Qaeda and the Taliban without crossing full over into apologetics for Islamofascism.

What’s worst is that Mos Def doesn’t know a reasonable man when he sees one. Both Rushdie and Hitchens have liberal anti-establishment credentials to spare, and both …

Jim Cramer of CNBC, whom Jon Stewart has been having a great deal of fun with in recent weeks

will appear on the Daily Show on Thursday. Bet your ass it’s going to be entertaining.

CJR does a good job summing up the “skirmish” so far.
