Americans will consume an estimated 30 million pizza slices during today’s Super Bowl. Having a pizza or two delivered on the day of the big game is as much a part of the Super Bowl as elaborate halftime shows and overwrought analysis of the two teams.

James L. Evans: New evangelical approach
According to a story last week in Newsweek, it appears that some evangelicals are moving away from the political and theological right wing. Younger evangelicals seem to be shying away from the rigid ideological orthodoxy of past culture wars and are embracing a broader range of social issues.

Phillip Tutor: Tebow’s ad ... It’s real stuff
Sunday evening, the Super Bowl will dominate my living room TV. I’m a junkie, unabashedly so, and my clan long ago caught the bug. It’s my fault.

Harvey H. Jackson: Clip it, send it to your legislator
Once again, as regular as the seasons, the Alabama Legislature gathers. Whether or not it accomplishes what the late Miz Ivins found the Texas Legislature accomplishing can only be determined by those who live in your representatives’ respective villages. However, to help you decide, I again present to you my annual questionnaire.

H. Brandt Ayers: Positive Southern appeal
President Obama needs to change the political conversation from tea parties, the ambush of Rip Van Winkle in Massachusetts and scandalously partisan distortions of the health-care debate.

Paul Rilling: Putting local into Haiti story
The biggest news story of the new decade so far has been the devastation and human suffering caused by the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. The Star did what community newspapers do best, making the tragedy more meaningful to its readers by showing local connections.

This is the column I didn't want to write. Not one month into the new year, and Calhoun County already has its first homicide. So much for death taking an extended holiday.

My grandfather never owned a Bible. In fact, he could not read. He never attended a church, didn't sing any hymns and never prayed — out loud, anyway.

The last time we were down at the coast, we dropped by the Village Market to see what sort of winter sales they had on summer items — T-shirts and such. And when we came out, I noticed my wife had something in a bag.

As the Financial Crisis Commission grills financial Gullivers about their roles in the Great Recession and digs into its causes, it might be useful to cast a longer look backward at what has happened to an America we once knew.

It is time to invest in Alabama, invest in job creation and invest in Alabama workers. At a time when Alabama workers face an unemployment rate that hovers near 11 percent, it is time to invest state resources into creating jobs in every county of Alabama.

I received considerable response last week regarding what I wrote about Pat Robertson's alleged conversations with God. So clearly, going after him this week for saying that the earthquake in Haiti was the result of a Haitian pact with the devil would surely provoke a lively debate.
