| This year´s Budweiser Super Bowl ad isn´t funny or sexy, but you just might shed a tear. For decades, Anheuser-Busch has used its famous Clydesdales in Super Bowl ads for Budweiser. Instead of a herd of majestic hoof-stomping steeds thundering across a valley floor, this year´s 60-second ad centers on the bond an adorable Clydesdale foal shares with his trainer. The latest star is barely two weeks old. A foal born January 16 at Anheuser-Busch´s Warm Springs Ranch near the mid-Missouri town of Boonville is featured in an ad that will appear in Sunday´s game

No sex, boobs, sleazy innuendos, smart ass kids with dumb parents, over eating taco chips or boozing it up. Just one of God´s beautiful creatures and human´s who appreciate his handy work . . . sounds like a winner to me. I would love to be able to give that cute baby a big hug.

I love these horses. I´m not a sappy person but that ad does bring a tear to my eye. A few weeks ago, a team of the Clydesdales were staying near here. I went there and got to practically snuggle one of them. They are just majestic and beautiful.

Oh how I love horses! I even love the smell of horses. There´s an aroma that speaks of earth and sweat and pure muscle that is beautifuol in itself.

Me too, #6. My family has kept horses(not Clydesdales) for four generations that I can count. One of my favorite places to be is in my tack room where the sweat soaked saddles and bridles hang to dry out when not being used. "Sweat soaked leather" sounds like hell but smells like heaven.

#6,7,9.. Us too. We are horse people, love them, can´t imagine life without them.
This commercial made me cry, because its real. When our horse sees my car, she runs to the gate just like a puppy. All of the horses have different personalities and most are sweet as can be.

I grew up with horses, and it´s been many years since I was near or in a stable, but were I blind folded and led into one, I would immediately recognize that aroma...the drying leather, the horse blankets, the smell of leather soap.......I know there are horses in heaven....I have been told. Can´t wait to ride Stormy again...or Topsey....or Sally....or Buttermilk. Pretty sure Calico and Lobo didn´t make though. ;)

What a wonderful commercial! How very refreshing. I got the chills from very beginning of it. I too have always loved horses. I love their noses. They feel like velvet. Dittos on the trainer. He´s not too bad either! Many years ago we went to St. Louis to see the Clydesdales. They were such beautiful, majestic animals. I have never forgotten it.

Seems as if Ldotters are quite a horsy family! I went out to see my guy today and he ran right in to say hi! Yes, the smell is injected into us as soon as we smell it the first time, and you never ever forget it and the peace it brings you because it will course through your veins forever. Of COURSE I loved the commercial!
I´ve always said if my critters weren´t in Heaven, I don´t want to go there as it would not be Heaven for me...

We had horses growing up too. So right, you never forget the smell, the velvet nose, so soft. The big beautiful eyes and the loyalty. I have yet to experience a sensation as exhilarating as riding a horse at a full run. It is like nothing else.
I have not ridden or been around horses in many years and I miss them immensely. My husband has grown to love them from a distance and we hope someday to have one. Don´t know if that dream will ever come true now, the future is so dark. Thanks OP for posting, very nice.

I´m a long haul truck driver, my second career. For years, I´ve said that I´d drive for free for Budweiser for one year if they would reimburse my expenses, if I could pull one of their horse vans. That´s a serious statement that I´d be willing to honor just for the experience and the opportunity to be closely involved with the Clydesdales.

We lived in the St. Louis area for a lifetime and had the opportunity to visit these beautiful horses at the brewery and at the farm. And there was nothing more spectacular than on the first day of baseball season to see Gussie Busch taking the team and wagon around Busch Stadium while the crowd went nuts!
This ad is just precious. DH said he saw on Fox Business channel last night that the ad made for Super Bowl in 2002 (the horses bowing) was the #1 Super Bowl ad of all time and that A-B only showed it the one time at the game. They are truly a treasure. Did you see in the article there are 40 babies on the way? How exciting.
One more thing: There is a Busch farm in southwest St. Louis with a street running alongside one of the fields where you could see the horses grazing. Some years ago, someone shot one (or more) of the horses. I don´t remember the story, it´s been too long ago. I´ve been gone from there for too long, but it might be Laclede Station Road. Can you imagine the hatefulness in a heart that would shoot one of these beauties?

Even as reports break about the size and scope of the National Security Agency’s vast data storage center in Utah, new details are emerging about a second massive NSA center in San Antonio, Texas. According to the Houston Chronicle, “Satellite and aerial imagery show that massive air conditioning units and backup generators have been added to the facility, which is now ringed by barbed-wire fencing. City permits and property tax records show that the complex has been dramatically expanded.” According to sources, the plant will supposedly translate intercepted communications from the NSA; the communications are then forwarded to Maryland

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) subpoenaed documents from a controversial ObamaCare program on Friday after charging that the Obama administration had denied his request several times. Issa is seeking information on a federal attempt to boost nonprofit health plans, known as CO-OPs (consumer oriented and operated plans), which compete with traditional health insurance. The Affordable Care Act created a $3.4 billion federal loan program for CO-OPs that Republicans say might never be repaid because of some applicants´ financial troubles.

The 200-acre site that straddles Malden, Medford and Everett instead has produced only 300 jobs so far, none of which are

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
