Happy Monday. On this day in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated and the scarf with khakis look has never gone out of fashion since.

A COLDPLAY PERFORMANCE has never been so useful.

AS A PERFECTLY BLAND CANVAS during Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show, the band’s opening act provided a vital service by making a few minutes of yearning for Beyoncé’s appearance feel as if it had been growing for years, if not decades. Possibly centuries. Let’s go with millennia.

THE SUPERSTAR DIVA HAD RELEASED "FORMATION" the day before the game. Possibly her most political song and video ever, it opens with her standing on top of a police car in a flooded New Orleans.

IT WAS A PERFECT NOTE in the middle of a presidential campaign where white supremacists are actively backing the GOP frontrunner and a game in which a former NFL quarterback referred to the Carolina Panthers’ black quarterback as “boy.”

IF YOU ARE STILL A WHITE SUPREMACIST after watching this performance, enjoy your Coldplay!

THE QUESTION STUMPED RICK SANTORUM last week, but at Saturday night’s Republican debate Marco Rubio’s greatest accomplishment became obvious: He’s managed to fool lots of grown ups with jobs and microphones into thinking he’s a serious candidate for president.

AT THE DEBATE, THE TALKING POINT MACHINE WAS HUMILIATED after Chris Christie called him out for repeating the same pre-rehearsed line over and over again: “And let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

IF YOUR iPAD BEHAVED THE WAY RUBIO DID at the debate you’d frisbee it at the closest Genius at the Apple Genius Bar.

THIS WEEKEND DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE for president Bernie Sanders made his debut on Saturday Night Live as a passenger of a sinking steamship concerned that the 1 percent had unfair access to the lifeboats.

THE APPEARANCE REMINDED US ALL that comedy, like pornography and wrestling, is best left to the professionals.

ALSO IN THE EPISODE, host Larry David reprised his role as Sanders for a hilarious episode of “Bern Your Enthusiasm” where he played Sanders as a “man of the people” candidate forced to deal with David’s neuroses and germ-phobia.

IF YOU'RE VOTING BASED ON WHICH POLITICAL IMPERSONATION you’d like to see on SNL for the next 8 years, the choice officially became obvious.

WHEN NEWT GINGRICH PROMISED $2 GASOLINE, he made it seem like it would be a good thing. But Wall Street doesn't seem to agree.

OIL IS NOW BELOW $30 A BARREL and that’s sending stock markets around the world tumbling and may even threaten the regimes of several Middle Eastern countries worse than a Jeb Bush presidency. And cheap oil may last all decade.

THE PRICE HAS SUNK SO LOW that the hundreds of billions of dollars a year that Iran was expecting to get in sanction relief may just now be a few billion a month, which must make you wonder how much of all this is a Saudi Arabian plot. Because what isn’t a Saudi plot?

CHEAP OIL IS WRECKING AMERICA'S DOMESTIC OIL INDUSTRY, destabilizing Putin’s Russia and making renewable energy far less attractive. Basically, it’s the closest thing to a wet dream Saudi Arabia is allowed to have.

THIS MEME CALLING LONGEST-SERVING INDEPENDENT MEMBER OF CONGRESS BERNIE SANDERS A 'LOSER' includes mostly vague insinuations. Yes, Sanders never invented anything or started a business. But he's never made a meme either. So he can't be that big of a loser.

HEAR, O ISRAEL—There will soon be kosher marijuana in New York state, as soon as someone can figure out how to circumcise a leaf.
