Honestly, is the battle of the insignificant in the state of the irrelevant almost over? Enough about the people of Iowa already. As of Wednesday Jan 11 the corncobbers of the Hawkeye State can return to the obscurity they clearly seek by living in Iowa. Why do we care? They once voted for Pat Robertson. That should tell you all you need to know. In what other state would Rick Santorum be a credible candidate? He speaks like the reincarnation of Christine O'Donnell.
Anyway, in a few days we can begin to forget that there is a small insignificant land mass between Illinois and Nebraska. We can then obsess about New Hampshire for a month.

The close of the Christmas season also means we will be spared any more ads from Lexus featuring people who give $50,000 cars as Christmas presents. This year's ads feature the jingle that Lexus thinks has become synonymous with their cars; like Gershwin and United Air Lines. People just like us are given a music box or a CD and immediately rush into the driveway looking for their GS 460.
People: a little reality please. If someone gave you a music box that played the theme from Gilligan's Island would you think you got a boat...or an island? Does the playing of "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" send you on a frantic search for a little blue box? In the real world, hearing "Let it Snow" probably means you got another ugly sweater... or a shovel. Sorry.
