Easy there,” McCain said, laughing along with his audience at Texas Instruments Inc." Luckily though the Senator corrected himself by adding “Let me say this: I am a proud, conservative Republican, and both of my possible or likely opponents today are liberal Democrats.” After this moment passed McCain slipped up one more time during a Q and A session about the upcoming debates by saying that his debate with either Senator Clinton or Obama would be 'dispirited' to which he also recovered and corrected himself.

GIANTS BY A LONG SHOT!

I am certainly a huge fan of the NFL, and my two favorites went to the Super Bowl this year. So that goes without saying that it was hard to get behind just one certain team but I knew I was not going to be disappointed either way. I think it is about time the NYG's got theirs, but on the other hand I really wanted to see the Patriots go for 19-0. Now that would have been history in the making but as I said, it's all good. The first half rounded off with the NYG's getting 3-0 and then in the second quarter a surprise pull by the Pats with 7-3. That score remained through the third quarter. In the forth, it was appeared to be no contest. Everyone knew it was going to be the Pats, 14-7 but in a surprise upset the NYG's had luck on their side and in one brief second the game flipped to 17-14 Giants in the lead. Amazing game, great players, and even better plays. Good game guys and for the Pats, there's always next year guys. For this and other Super Bowl updates please go to www.nfl.com.

Microsoft Bids on YAHOO

Microsoft has offered an outstanding $44.6 billion for the search engine YAHOO. This is all part of a strategy to compete with another internet search engine who you might know as Google. If sold the Yahoo creators could be offered cash or parts of Microsoft's shares. But even though it's a whopping sum of money for one company that is no sign that YAHOO will be taking the bate any time soon. Last year the company rejected a similar offer by Microsoft.
