Should the day after the Superbowl be a national holiday?

Seriously??????

[Impy]

Jindal: No smart phone, Blackberry!

Should the Superbowl be a national holiday? Seriously?

“They are talking about Coors Beer and brewries - this is important?”

My bil and nephews would think so....lol

[newfreep]

Did Linda finally come out?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I think Linda Graham is plum loco.

[Steven Tyler]

Linda wants to be CinC, yet has done nothing for the Vets

[M Kehoe]

Hi guy. I hope you are doing well.

GO CRUZ!

[Gasshog]

checking in - Go Trump!

[Duchess47]

This was the sorriest bunch of questions I’ve heard in a long time. It’s like it’s a joke, hope the main debate is taken more seriously.

[georgiegirl]

Lindsey sounds and looks like he’s had a few. Looks like Howdy Doody, head bobbing up and down. Begging to be president.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

—— Pataki hyping manmade global warming...what a tool -—

Sickening.

I’d like to see Jindal graduate to the adult table.

[Kenny]

I hope she doesn’t butt in every two minutes. She’s mega rude, shrill, and snarky. There, that covered it.

[samiam1972]

I cannot look at any of them seriously. These early birds needs to just drop out.

[Calpublican]

It would be nice if Cruz got serious airtime tonight.
The lib moderators try to avoid him.
They know their tiny misshapen brains will look way too
puny next to his.

[mtrott]

Moronic CNBC female commentator just said Graham had a great debate, must have eaten his Wheaties this morning. Geez. He’s almost un-listenable.

[Jane Long]

Thanks for the thread.

[mtrott]

True, but it is going to be a little bit harder to freeze Cruz out this time, since he is higher in the polls and closer to the middle.

[Kenny]

I can’t be for Cruz because I believe, with all my heart, that it’s Trump or Hillary. Look how they’re already coordinating with the Trump 2nd place crap. Two polls out since with him in 1st and not a word.

If they succeed in getting Trump out, I’m out too.

Good grief ... the CNBC anchors are fawning over Lindsey Graham's performance ... seriously ... What is wrong with these people? Graham will not ever, I promise you, ever be POTUS (not ever, never).
