"...I only know......"

As Will Rogers said: "I only know what I read in the papers" and these are thoughts on two things I've read recently:

- At the risk of 'offending' the football fans, is anyone else shaking their heads over the fact that in the face of record snow amounts, driving bans, roads closed for unknown periods of time, deaths, people stranded, emergency crews unable to get to those needing help and all other disaster-related things, that the Buffalo Bills were primarily concerned with getting their field cleared for a game, and even went so far as to offer those who came out to help a whopping $10 an hour (from an organization paying their players millions of dollars) to help do this.  Wow.  Just - wow.

- And now I will risk stirring up the political folks - headline on a local news station web site:   "Thanksgiving holiday gas prices at five year low" - and yet I notice that none of the people who were blaming Obama for the high gas prices are thanking him for the low ones.  Wait, what's that you say?  The president has nothing to do with gas prices?  Aha!  And also Oho!
