Thursday's championship football game between No. 2 Florida and No. 1 Oklahoma is obviously a big game, but big enough to shut down Congress?
Rep. Cliff Stearns hopes so. Stearns, a Republican from Ocala, wrote to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday asking her to move votes scheduled
for Thursday evening and Friday so House members from Florida and Oklahoma can go to the Bowl Championship Series national title game.

I just thought it was funny, until I read the next part. "Pelosi's office said she would not agree to the request. Among the votes to be considered
Thursday afternoon is certification of the Electoral College vote that gives Barack Obama the presidency." Is this a Republican ploy too block the
certification of the votes for Obama? Or is this guy really that big a fan? I'll admit I'm a disgruntled Boston College fan.
