People who ridiculed the Richmond, Virginia grocery chain Ukrop's for years by calling it Ukrap's now have a new name to play with. Dutch supermarket group Ahold has bought Ukrop's, opening up a whole new can of ridicule. Even more amusing, the company's full name is Royal Ahold.

The thought of buying your groceries from a company called Ahold is probably why Ukrop's will be renamed Martin's. Since it's a Dutch company, let's hope they tell their new employees to wash their hands after putting their fingers in any dikes.

Palin questioned whether the suspect in the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit was interrogated aggressively enough.

“Treating this like a mere law-enforcement matter places our country at grave risk,” she said. “To win that war, we need a commander-in-chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern.”

I think she's suiting up. 

So who would you rather spend Valentine’s Day with? Your partner or your pet?  A joint global poll by Reuters/Ipsos reported Monday that one in five adults say they’d opt for the company of a furry friend on February 14. ***MARLAR: I don’t know if I’d go quite that far, but I do have to say that I truly do have feelings for my Sea Monkeys. 

If you ever want to know who loves you the most, between your wife and your dog, here is a sure fire way to find out:

Take them both for a ride in your car. Then, when you get to your destination, lock both of them in the trunk for an hour and see which one is happiest to see you when you come back.

People keep asking me, "Did ya watch the big game?" and "How about the super bowl?"

Let me explain something.  I don't watch football and I don't care about football.  I'll explain why that is.  Without argument, The NFL Superbowl is the largest event for the sport.  It's said that more people watch it than any other single broadcast in the country.  Now at least 80-90% of people I talk to say, "I only watch it for the commercials..."

WHAT!?!?!?!  WTF!  Seriously?

 So, the commercials are better than the game?  And we aren't talking about the minor leagues, either, we're talking about the Annual Pinnacle of the sport!  And more people watch it for the commercials than the game?  These same people would tell you they don't like commercials and that they are thankful for their DVR so that they can fast forward through them.  READ THIS:  If the commercials are better than the game and commercials suck, then why would I watch the game, much less any of the less-anticipated games of the season?  

I'm starting to wonder if Hal-mark or Hershey is somehow behind this.  Way to create another holiday, guys!

 Then again, I'm also assured that I "just don't understand football."

Following her appearance at the Tea Party Convention, Sarah Palin said it wouldn’t be “absurd” to consider a presidential run in 2012. Said 70% of America, “ya, it would.”
