NFL Lockout
The NFL Players union has decertified. The NFL owners will likely lockout the players at midnight. I'd say there is probably now at least a 30% chance of no SuperBowl next year.

No fly zone over Libya a bad idea
Despite pleas from some on the right and the left, imposing a no fly zone over Libya would be devastating to US interests from a geopolitical perspective.
Many people assume a "no fly zone" just means we won't allow their airplanes to take off. That's part of it, but usually it also involves bombing air bases, among other things. As Ron Paul has rightly pointed out, a no fly zone is an overt act of war. And what if Qadaffi still wins? Then we will have made a new enemy. For our interests, it is best to not get involved.
