Spring Fling

Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track

What You Waiting For? by Gwen Stefani

* Congratulations to the New England Patriots!

* Social Security privitization means that you'd get to put a maximum of $1000 per year into a private account. Not that much. I was hoping for a more grandiose privitization option. This is more like taking your sister to the prom. Who cares?

* Tough to lay the 7 points in that game. The game started off slow and boring, and kind of remained that way.

* EBAY now says they're cutting prices? Didn't they announce a few weeks ago that they were raising prices? Have you seen their stock price? Google selling off a little ahead of the stock lock-up period expiration. That'll make that one interesting.

* Semiconductors acting Juiced up.

* Super Bowl commercials were mostly duds. Maybe the MC Hammer ones were a bit funny. Burt Reynolds and the FedEx "How to make a successful Super Bowl Commercial" ad was pretty good. Personally, the GoDaddy.com commercial got my attention. Ahem.

* Here's a shocker: Diet lowers cholesterol as well as drug. A diet rich in fiber and vegetables lowered cholesterol just as much as taking a statin drug, Canadian researchers reported on Monday.

* Here's the funny thing about that drug and diet study. They say: They said people who cannot tolerate the statin drugs because of side-effects can turn to the diet, which they said their volunteers could easily follow. How come diet isn't the first option? Because they're trying to sell drugs and make profits? Huh? Answer me that, Batman.

* I thought Paul McCartney did a good job with the halftime show. It kind of lacked the Hollywood pop flash and style, but I think that's what they were going for. When McCartney asked the fans to sing along to "Hey Jude," I wondered how many folks knew the words... Cue the Gwen Stefani... Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...
