However, as always, we share a Sunday moment of doubt . . .

Today Kansas City Chiefs fans earn are granted a boost to their self-esteem and one more reason to stop worrying so much about inflation or the inevitably that the dollar might one day soon be replaced as the world's reserve currency thereby ending era of American exceptionalism without firing a single shot.
