THE LIGHTER SIDE

God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Rolling Stones website ■ announced on Saturday they will tour North America this summer and began selling tickets to the band’s No Filter Tour; that is, if they’re all still alive. Yesterday, I saw a beautiful photo of a younger Keith Richards holding a baby girl in his arms. It was Betty White.

The Kansas City Chiefs griped about the referee ■ calls in the Super Bowl, adding it was typical of home field officiating. It was played on Tampa’s home turf. The NFL may vote to start holding all Super Bowls in the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium so that no team ever has home field advantage again.

History Channel traced the Democrats and ■ Republicans to William the Conqueror’s Normans battling the Saxons in 1066 England. Hamiltons are Anglo-Norman. I was set to take a Viking Cruise this summer till I found out you’re not allowed to sack and loot the monasteries along the way.
