Factional Playoff Series
The long bomb is a favorite offensive tactic of some of the teams still in the running for the ultimate prize this weekend, although it’s met with mixed results in the past. With the Over/Under on strikes at 5, here’s our picks from the leading targets:
Over:
Marvin Harrison
Marques Colston
Ras Kamboni
Baghdad
Under:
Bernard Berrian
Darfur
David Beckham
Todd Heap
Loop Droop
We love the idea of an all-night party in the Loop. Now if only we had a way to get there.
Home Grown
Despite protests to the contrary from some quarters, we expect the number of U.S. adoptions of foreign-born children to continue dropping. Experts note that in 2007 alone, we’re likely to see a sharp increase in the numbers of domestic babies available.
Bully Market
Finally, as America continues to struggle with the hired help, we take a moment to reflect on the halcyon days. Remember when a super power could just sap the will of its proxy states by systematic threats of economic oppression? Good times. Good times.
