Mike's Blog Round Up
February 7, 2016

Alright, that's it for me this week. Enjoy the Super Bowl today, if you can. Personally, I couldn't care much less about it. As a Steelers fan (who thinks, injuries aside, that they're probably the best team in the AFC), I'm already in off-season, free-agency, pre-draft mode, looking ahead to bigger and better things next season. (And I generally don't like Super Bowls the Steelers aren't playing in, given all the corporate/advertising BS and the fact that the NFL puts spectacle before all else.)

Down With Tyranny!: Marco Rubio and the corporate media.

Hullabaloo: The Kochs and Donald Trump.

Lawyers, Guns & Money: Hillary and Henry Kissinger.

And of course the thing that has everyone up in arms at the moment:

Mock Paper Scissors: Twitter and the Algorithm of Doom.

Anyway, I'm not sure which team I'm rooting for today. I'll have to wait for the game. I can't say I care much for either team. But unless Manning gets every single call in his favour, certainly a distinct possibility, I don't think it'll be close. So I'll say Panthers 31, Broncos 13.

See you next time.
