The Most Painful Public Spectacle of the Week Was?

• The State of the Union (welcome back Bill Clinton!)

• The Grammys (The Black Eyed Peas still have me humming!)

• Tony Blair at the Chilcot Inquiry (how does one kill a Zombie?)

• The "news" burying the ideas of Howard Zinn

• Sinn Fein and the DUP (is it a waltz or a tango?)
