Bouncing around my three news sites that I’m following, it’s easy to see right away what the hot topics are. There are no real surprises, politico is all about Obama, the stimulus bill and where he and the First Lady dined for Valentines day. Apparently it was a southern style meal for the First Couple. Obamas on a date
Over at foxnews.com, they are a little less concerned about the Obamas and more focused on Illinois Sen. Roland Burris, and his relationship with Rob Blagojevich and his brother. Burris
Sounds interesting. Sort of. It’s funny, though. The picture and headline Foxnews.com is using for the Burris story makes him look and sound guilty of something. It reads: “The ‘no one asked’ defense.” They are already painting him as a crook. But, coming from Foxnews, I’m not at all surprised.
Moving on to less political coverage and more international coverage, over at worldsoccer.com, they have a sad story about Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich losing nearly 9 billion dollars over the last year. His total net worth is down to 13.9 billion. It was just a year ago he was at 23.5 Billion. He’s sunk A LOT of money into Chelsea with varied results. As an Arsenal fan, this couldn’t make me more happy. I don’t know the guy, nor do I care to. But he is what is wrong with club soccer these days. Too much wild spending on players and coaches.

On a related note, I found this amazing commercial Nike just released. It features Arsenal V. Man U, and it’s pretty damn slick. Even if you have no clue what soccer is, or who Arsenal and Man U are, your life will be dramatically better if you watch the video
