I know we all get caught up in b-ball this time of year … but the real madness is the anniversary that just went by. Seven years ago yesterday this country launched a pointless and incalculably damaging war. Enough of us fell for the fear mongering and hatefully simplistic world view of the Bushies and [...]
America’s fittest cities according to Gallup, are almost all in states begnning with a C. The two anomalies? Massachusetts and Nevada (both of which border on C-States). This obvious and important factor in your fitness has not yet been studied, but I expect it soon will be.
Meanwhile, as you get your brackets set (there’s still [...]

The stamina and breadth of knowledge that this man posesses, not to mention the grace under pressure — and just plain grace — are quite amazing.
First — he goes to the so-called lion’s den and schools the GOP brain trust at their annual retreat (well done Mr. President).
Then he attends the Georgetown-Duke game and shares [...]
And so, it is done. UConn started a little bit slow, but gained momentum and seriously outplayed Louisville for the 3rd time in as many meetings this year. Louisville looked good at the start, but couldn’t sustain momentum against the smooth, efficient, disciplined Connecticut side. So they cap an undefeated season with a National Championship. [...]
Amazing game last night as the Louisville Cardinels took it to Oklahoma and are moving on to the national championship game. Angel McCoughtry came back after a dismal first half and scored 14 of her 18 points in the second frame as she helped her team put away the Sooners. Now they have the dubious [...]
I’m not talking about JordanCornblog being # 1 in the men’s bracket this morning. While that’s true, to point it out would be unseemly.
No, I am talking about Cynthia who is perfect on the women’s side and ranks among the #1 scorers anywhere and EVERYWHERE this morning! (Right at the moment, the calculations on the [...]
The Men’s bracket is up and some folks (you know who you are) have already made their picks. The women’s bracket will be finalized this evening. Then we have a couple of days to get everything set before the games are off and running. I’m using the NYTimes Brackets this year – we’ll see how [...]
Wow – the sun is gorgeous, coming up over the eastern horizon this morning. (Horizon is one of those words that I can’t for the life of me seem to remember how to spell. Every time I come to the last syllable, I make the wrong choice and put an “e” in there instead of [...]
That’s how Michael Steele has described the Republican Party. I agree that muck is a great way to describe a medium comprised of the detritus of right wing preachers, radio hacks, and turdblossoms. But it doesn’t seem wise for a party that is struggling mightily to find its identity, should choose as its cheerleader-in-chief, someone [...]
As a metaphor for the Republican right wing, that headline pretty much says it all. They sport a sensibility that’s moralistic as all get out – yeah. But it’s a very literal and childish morality. Black and white – no nuances or doubts allowed. Oh, and it’s based on “signs” from a god who is [...]

I’m a little late getting on board with JordanCornblog this morning, as I’ve been wrestling with my Excel Bracket Sheet since the wee hours. All set now! We’re ready to roll with the men’s bracket … and just waiting to get the Women’s teams set and then off we go!
I’ve not thought about writing anything [...]
