Saints over Bears - I'm going to be in New Orleans next weekend, so hopefully I can catch some pre-Super Bowl festivities. Or run into new resident Angelina Jolie. Either would be nice.
Colts over Patriots - My brain says "Pats", but my gut says "Colts". Maybe it's the other way around.
By the way, if you need to get a life, check this out.
If you were preparing for the 24 Season 6 Premiere rather than watching 60 Minutes, I really can't blame you. I have been a huge fan since college, when I stayed up until 4:00 AM daily for a week straight watching Season 1 on DVD with my roommates. I remember recognizing Jack Bauer as a true badass, as anyone who has watched a single episode of 24 rightly should. I also recall being a bit jealous of the fictional U.S. nation the show portrayed because of its honorable President David Palmer. President Palmer was well-spoken, giving inspirational speeches week after week, or rather, hour after hour. He had to make several controversial decisions - granting Nina multiple pardons and allowing the murder of ball-busting CTU Regional Director Chappelle. But he always had the good of the American people in his heart. President Palmer had to make some tough calls, but he made them with such confidence and dignity that I supported him.
Unfortunately, I had to snap out of my fantasy world and return to a nation run by a president that has started a seemingly endless war and has already spent 365 days of his two terms at Camp David. Yes, you read that right; Bush has spent one full year of his six years as Commander-in-Chief unwinding at the Presidential Retreat.
So when I heard that 60 Minutes was showing a one-on-one interview of President Bush, I had to watch. I wanted to see what he had to say for himself and his War on Terror in 2007. Plus, I had already seen all four hours of the 24 premiere (I got the hookup!).
You can read a full transcript of the interview or watch the video using the link below. I would recommend watching the clip simply for his reaction to the comments on his popularity and stubbornness. High comedy.
Palmer in '08.
Well, I guess Obama in '08 is close enough.
Full Transcript of President Bush Interview
Colts over Ravens - I just really want to see Colts-Pats next week.
Eagles over Saints - After watching Westbrook last week, I'm sold on the Eagles chances against a porous Saints run defense. Plus, Jeff Garcia!
Bears over Seahawks - Grossman INT. Alexander sucky. Bears' D TD. Zzzzzz...
Pats over Chargers - See "Colts over Ravens" above.

On to my Terse NFL Playoff Picks...
Colts over Chiefs - Peyton yells at his teammates constantly during the game, acts cordial after the win, and signs up for 13 more commercials to work on after his season is over; in other words, they are scheduled to shoot next week.
Cowboys over Seahawks - Romo wins this one for Jessica Simpson and shows that "Your Body is a Wonderland" ain't got shit on him. Hasselbeck gets demoted from Campbell's Chunky to Spaghetti O's.
Patriots over Jets - Pennington's bionic shoulder runs out of batteries and the Jets fail when trying to trade for Vinny at halftime.
Eagles over Giants - Garcia does it for Gilroy.
According to Ain't It Cool News:
The series finale of The O.C. will air Feb. 22, the Fox Network announced Wednesday afternoon.
This comes as a surprise to few, as Fox ordered only 16 episodes for the series’ fourth season, and has been getting clobbered Thursday nights by megahits Grey’s Anatomy and CSI.

Okay, I just thought that was cool. This link's pretty sweet, too:

Good to see everyone is starting off the new year playing nice as November quickly approaches.
On a Middle East-related note, did you know that "Dubai is fucking nuts!"?
