1. Karen Woody shouts out to the Super Bowl Halftime show for throwing love on 90s music and musical stars.
2. Jay Rosen shouts out to celebrity chef Jose Andreas for creating the Gazpacho Police in the 1990s long before Marjorie Green Taylor accused Nancy Pelosi of doing so and for inviting Rep. Taylor to join, provided she is vaccinated and wears a mask to the restaurant.
3. Matt Kelly shouts out to that unknown US criminal enforcement agency, the National Archives which raided Mar-A-Lago where the former President had purloined some 15 boxes of Presidential papers and materials. He also gives a minor shout out to New York Times columnist Maggie Haberman who in an upcoming book reported the former President flushed documents down the toilets at the White House.

6. Tom Fox has a melancholy shout out to the University of Michigan School of Law and greater legal education profession, which lost two stalwart professors recently; Yale Kamisar, Father of Miranda and Terrance Sandalow, former Dean of the Law School.
