The Clydesdale colt was the cutest. The FEDEX caveman was the funniest.

Someone please tell Aretha Franklin, that in the last stanza of the Ntl. Anthem, the word "brave" only has one syllable, not seven!!

I do have a problem with vocalists who sing “their” version of our National Anthem.

You'll be glad to hear that our local talk show host is complaining about Aretha's blues version of the national anthem. He also mentioned all those "extra" notes she put in. Interesting thought on his part: That there seems to be an attempt on the part of the networks to put it in the context of the New Orleans hurricane by using a blues rendition. In any event, people are calling in and agreeing that it was terrible.
