(AP) – To the victors go the massive ticker-tape parades. Thousands roared as Giants quarterback Eli Manning hoisted the team's Super Bowl trophy during a parade today through New York City. (The Daily Intel blog wonders why the city can't do this for Iraqi war vets, too.) Today's parade set off from the southern tip of Manhattan and moved slowly north to City Hall as confetti wafted down from the high-rises. Mayor Bloomberg said the city should now be nicknamed the "Big Blue Apple." Click for more from the parade.

(sigh) the reason we haven't had a ticker tape parade for our vets...Mayor Bloomberg offered it and the Pentagon said "not yet." We are waiting for the Pentagon to say "OK..Now." You people should read more or watch his interviews.
