| Arkansas, Oklahoma Lose Television Signal, Can't Watch Super Bowl
9 News with questions and comments about the outage.Actually, in my opinion, this is a small price to pay to not have to see Ryan Seacrest, all the wannabe celebrities traipsing down the red carpet, all the hare-brained commercials, and Paula Adbul's pre-pregame "performance." That said, I'm sure the fine citizens of Arkansas and Oklahoma would like to be able to make such decisions for themselves instead of, you know, just having their teevees go out. * This is a joke; the Midwest is obviously an extremely awesome place. .

"He has demonstrated that he has the character to stand on principle," the New York Times said last month in endorsing John McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. A front-page story in today's Times, the work of a team of six reporters, is less enthusiastic about the senator's character: Even as he has vowed to hold himself to the highest ethical standards, his confidence in his own integrity has sometimes seemed to blind him to potentially embarrassing conflicts of interest.
