OK, so I don't really have the time to do nightly news updates. After all, there's a lot of taped TV to catch up on when I get home from work after midnight...
Anyhow, this is what you've been missing the past several days:
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos (woohoo!) beat the New England Patriots on Saturday, while the Pittsburgh Steelers upset the Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Next week's conference championships will determine who goes to Super Bowl Extra Large (XL). My prediction: Broncos vs. Seahawks, with the Broncos winning, of course.
The U.S. bombed a dinner party in Pakistan, thinking that top al-Qaida official Ayman al-Zawahari would be in attendance. He wasn't, but it's reported that the bombing did kill a number of innocent people, which has sparked numerous protests in Pakistan. And that's why you always check the RSVP list first.
NASA's Stardust probe returned to Earth on Sunday carrying cosmic dust and, if science-fiction books are to be believed, probably a deadly pathogen that will kill us all. So thanks for that, science.
Researchers have found a gene that leads to a significantly higher risk of Type 2 diabetes. So try to not be born with that.
Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has called for a conference to examine evidence for the Holocaust, which he has called a "myth".
We are sooo invading them next.
If you're going to rob a restaurant, here's a tip: Don't pick a restaurant right next to a biker bar.

There's a lot of recorded TV for all of us to catch up on, no matter what time we get home. This year we should work on moving you past tape, though. :P
I'm glad you had time to send cards. :-)
To quote janalynn:
liar. Spanish-speaking liar.
(how's the Spanish coming, anyhow?)
Well, so far I've learned a lot of phrases that I'm not sure will be terribly useful but are somewhat interesting:
Que perro tan bonito! Es amistoso?
(What a beautiful dog! Is it friendly?)
No olvides la bufanda.
(Don't forget your scarf.)
And of course:
Toda mujer deberia tener un vestidito negro.
(Every woman needs a little black dress.)
I suspect the reaction to that comment wouldn't need translation.
My comments are thus:
A. You need TiVo. Everyone does.
B. I haven't had a chance to watch the Broncos this season (or any NFL games, really - being in New Zealand does that to you) but things are looking good. Since Sunday games happen when it's Monday morning or afternoon here, I'm in luck - the conference championships and the Super Bowl will be on Mondays that are State Holidays here. So, since fate has decreed I will be able to watch two games, and two games only, this year, I figure the Broncos have to be in both of them. Otherwise, fate had no point. Or something.

Okay, I nearly splorted water all over my monitor at that one. I el oh elled.
Hmmm... (como diria la srta. Fug) si crees q' toda mujer necesita un vestidito negro... pues, obviamente no has visto a toda mujer tratar de llevar uno... !que asco!
You're right - that probably doesn't need translation... :)
I don't know what you just said Mightybob, but it was said with a Spanish accent, so I'm going to assume it was sexy and flirtatious.
