slyfox is right! We should totally do away with the judicial systems, jails and the like. Since she has proven that there is no such thing as learning from one's mistakes there is no reason to have punishment!!   more ›

What's Your Favorite Super Bowl Party Recipe?

Super Bowl Sunday is tomorrow! Tell us what your favorite party recipe is, and share a link to it if you think others might enjoy it.

If you're planning a Super Bowl party for tomorrow, chances are that in addition to rooting for your favorite team you'll be feeding a crowd. Wings, jalapeno poppers, chips and dip, and other tasty "finger foods" are traditionally popular for Super Bowl parties, but some party-planners prefer to be more inventive. Others prefer to let someone else do the work for them, so they can enjoy more time with friends and family. If you'll be cooking, tell us about what you'll be preparing in the comments section below, and share a link to a favorite recipe if it's available online. Alternatively, if you're having your party catered by a local restaurant or store, tell us about what you've ordered and give the business a shout-out!

Who Will Win Super Bowl XLVI?

It'll be the New York Giants vs. the New England Patriots on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012.

First, for those not current on their Roman Numerals, "XLVI" equates to 46 (L = 50 minus X = 10, plus v = 5 plus I =1). Romans must have had a good sense of humor about numbers. Anyway, Super Bowl 46, on Feb. 5, will be a rematch of the 2008 game when the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots. (That was Super Bowl XLII = 42). In that game, Big Blue ruined a perfect season for the Pats with a 17-14 win. It's rare to see someone sporting Pats colors here, but the Giants are well represented. Who do you predict will win Super Bowl XLVI? Disgruntled Eagles and Steelers fans can feel free to check off No. 3, and then spout off in the comment stream.
