Egypt is still in chaos, Cambodia and Thailand are having border skirmishes, Southern Sudan is preparing for independence, and there are protests in Jordan, Lebanon.  Just to name a few things going on in the world.   Oh, yeah, and some asteroid will blow us up in 25 years.

But, we haven’t been able to talk about these things since Sunday.  Pre-game Superbowl coverage, the GAME and post-game jubilation and lamentation.  We’ll catch up with the world, let’s say, around Saturday, February 12.

So, please, rest of the world, forgive us.  We love you.  Really, we do.  But we love Super Bowl Sunday, chicken wings, salsa & chips, beer and barely-clad cheerleaders way better.

No, it is true that we love you.  We let our news coverage of the crisis in Egypt last one full week.  SEE?  The anchor men and women didn’t go back to being stupid until this morning.  And they say we Americans have attention spans of gnats.
