The Return of Today's "Must Reads"! Super Monday Edition

"Must Reads" were a popular daily post back in the South Dakota Watch days.  The only problem is that they can take quite a while to compile.

I think I now have a system in place that speeds this up.  I'm going to post some for a week or so and see how it goes trafficwise.  If you like and read them, I'll continue the feature.  If not, I'll drop it.

With that, Today's Must Reads from the wonders and far reaches of the Internets!

• Secret Caves of the Lizard People @ Strange Maps  The title alone makes you want to go check it out.

• The World Belongs to Those Who Hustle @ The Art of Manliness  Amen.  Any guy who has ever played sports understands this.  Get off your butt and do something.

• Sarah Palin's Palm Pilot @  The Great Plains Observer  And by Palm Pilot, Bob really does mean palm. Like sweaty palms.

• Super win, but can the Saints do it again? @ The Houston Chronicle Hey, what have you done lately for me New Orleans Saints?!  

• Is Sport a Religion? @ Psychology Today  Is the Pope Catholic? Do bears poop in the woods? Do fools fall in love?  Duh!  

• What is a "Person"? @ Armchair Generalist  I would vote "not corporations."

Have a great Monday, fellow babies!

Saints Win Super Bowl: New Orleans' Levees Miraculously Rise Five Feet

(FNN)*--NEW ORLEANS--Just hours after the New Orleans Saints' unprecedented Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts, the Crescent City's levee system miraculously rose five feet.

"I went out on our daily levee check about 11 p.m. Sunday, and Lord in heaven, all the levees surrounding and within the City of New Orleans had increased five feet in height!" exclaimed Jimbo LaFontaine, shift supervisor the for the New Orleans Department of Public Works.  "I knew Drew Brees could do great things, but wow, making the levees better?  Who Dat? The Saints really did bring good things to this community."

Sports media hype before and during the most recent Super Bowl suggested that New Orleans "deserved" a Super Bowl victory because of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath and because of the Saints' losing tradition.

In a statement released from the White House, President Barack Obama said both the Saints' victory and the subsequent miraculous increase in the city's levees were part of the change he promised in the 2008 campaign.

"It's an outrage to think that such hope is not possible," President Obama said.  "After a year of spinning my wheels on health care and Guantanamo, this is the sort of positive change you can expect in 2010 from my administration."

Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, at about the same time, the dome over the Lucas Oil Field, the home of the Colts, was found to have a number of cracks.
