Congratulations, too, to everyone who  believes, even a tiny bit, in &ldquo;the Super Bowl predictor.&rdquo; This one says that if  one of the original NFL teams wins the Big Game, the stock market will go up  for the year. (Don&rsquo;t scoff; it&rsquo;s been right 79 percent of the time. How does  that compare to your method?) And finally, congratulations to <em>CBS <\/em>for not buckling to pressure from  NOW and other loony lefties to suppress that delightful ad featuring Tim Tebow  and his mom. I loved it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Keep those cards  and letters coming, folks.<\/strong> Well, actually I mean keep those emails coming. Don&rsquo;t  know if you read any of the correspondence at the end of my <em>Straight Talk<\/em> columns, but you should. Some  of the observations and suggestions from you Dear Readers are a pure delight. I  especially want to thank David J., who disagreed with a previous comment about  Obama being a one-term president. His argument? &ldquo;We should all mail the White  House website and tell Obama to resign. We don&rsquo;t need him as a one-term  president. We need him as a 13-month president!&rdquo; Glad you&rsquo;re on our side,  David.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*The Tea Party is  our most popular.<\/strong> Here&rsquo;s a stunner from a recent <em>NBC  News\/Wall Street Journal <\/em>poll. While 35 percent of Americans have a  positive view of the Democrats and 28 percent say the same of the Republicans,  41 percent of us have a positive view of the tea party movement. Yup, those  grassroots rebels are now more popular than either the Demopubs or the  Republicrats. Good for them.<\/p>\n<p><em>&mdash;Chip Wood<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Three Super Bowl victories.
