Please don’t use this as an excuse to start talking politics. In the interest of fairness: I’m sure George W. Bush threw some pretty awesome Super Bowl parties too.

Also, on a vaguely related note, check out this wholly obnoxious Times article about highbrow sports-bar cuisine. I’m all for the availability of fresher, higher quality foods in places where I can watch sports, but I was never brought to “terror” by the words “sports bar,” and, in fact, I enjoy a good plate of SYSCO-variety chicken fingers if they’re prepared right and served with good honey mustard.
