Don't miss reading Michelle Malkin's round up of notable quotes from 2007.

The Daily Telegraph got it right.

REPORT CARD/GAME 16 - STEELERS VS. RAVENS

The Steelers play Jacksonville Saturday night. It will be a short playoff season for my beloved Steelers.

PARCELLS FIRES DOLPHINS GM RANDY MUELLER

If ever there was a sports team that needed to be reorganized, Miami is it. I know that this is just the beginning. Look for Parcells to make a coaching change pretty quickly.

BHUTTO'S SON, HUSBAND TO SUCCEED HER

I don't know how the rest of you feel, but having a 19 year old, naive, inexperienced child succeed Benazir Bhutto makes no sense. Nor does having her husband, who has been widely accused of corruption, as chairman of the party, make any sense to me.
