He, Trump Vs The Chosen One
So after South Carolina and Nevada, it's now come down to this? Good Lord.
Siri Is Now Following Me On Twitter
I know I've asked her some personal questions, and I've gone off on her for faulty navigational instructions, and said some things to her I'd like to have back. But now I'm wondering whether I should be concerned about the fact that she's following me on Twitter...
The IKEA "KVETCH"
If you've ever been to an IKEA on a Saturday afternoon, you know that if you stop moving forward at any time, you will be trampled. There is a certain "sheep to slaughter" vibe present there on weekends, given the narrow pathways, and all of the arrows that point forward.
I tried to stop and read some of the quotes about specific items from the Swedish designers, but I concluded that taking photos to read later would be a better strategy. Unfortunately, I couldn't always identify the actual product being described. And I got lost a couple of times.
And I swear that I spotted one product called "KVETCH", but with all of the odd Swedish names and the imperative to always keep moving forward, I may be mistaken. Nevertheless, the name seemed to work well today.
Writer's Tools
While my preferred pencil is a Blackwing Palomino, I believe that my IKEA souvenir will also work. For a little while, anyway.

The Romanovs And Me
Since Google is orphaning Picasa next month, I've been migrating photos I'd been storing there over to my Apple cloud. In the process, I've re-discovered some favorites to share.
While we were in St Petersburg a few years ago, we visited the Romanovs' Winter Palace. The opulence and beautiful details stopped me in my tracks more than once as I thought of the magnificent parties and balls the Royal family hosted in these very rooms, prior to the Revolution.
And a lot of it happened on this gorgeous parquet floor. (But not in Cons.)

Cam Newton Does A Passable Bill Belichick Imitation After Stupor Bowl 50
The league must be pissed that he didn't mention Peyton Manning, though.
Gambling On The Super Bowl.
Prop bets make up almost a third of the $4 billion that will be wagered on tomorrow's Super Bowl. And this doesn't even include Draft Kings and Fan Duel fantasy wagering.
The squares you play at tomorrow's Super Bowl party aren't even a blip on the screen.
Let The Washington Post explain:
"I Want You To Be My First!"
Jeb! Bush, to a female first-time voter, on the campaign trail in New Hampshire.
Super Bowl Wardrobe Malfunction
I generally ignore the two-week promotional buildup to the Super Bowl when the Patriots aren't involved, in the same way I avoid pre-game shows for any sport. But I did happen to catch an interview earlier this week with Sean McManus, Chairman of CBS Sports (the network that's carrying the game). He was asked what his biggest concern was about the live broadcast, the one thing that kept him awake at night. A power failure? A terrorist attack?
No.
"A wardrobe malfunction."
Super Bowl Diet: Some Carolina Panthers Eat 9,000 Calories Per Day
According the article below, the Carolina Panthers' nutritionist seems to have done a fine job all season in preparing the team for this Sunday's big game, but I don't think you want to aspire to the upper caloric range in planning out the food/beverage/snack offerings for your Super Bowl 50 party:

Political Candidates Should Be Like NASCAR Drivers
I wish that in every Presidential debate, candidates from both parties were required to wear NASCAR jackets, displaying the logos of their biggest donors.
