Looks like most follks are getting their picks in order for the Madness to begin. Just a quick reminder that the Men’s bracket closes at @ noontime tomorrow … women’s same time on Friday. Are you ready with your picks? Me – I keep changing mine whenever I have a free moment … that’s how [...]
Wow, as I look out my window I’m struck by the inveterate greyness of March. Isn’t that what you think of? March … November … winter’s leaden book-ends.
Back in Philly I remember that March always also spelled the beginning of lacrosse season … wooden sticks and muddy fields and the joy of being outside again [...]
That’s what we’re doing this morning … bowing down to UNC, and bowing down to Mo! The Tarheels blew out Michigan State last night in a lop-sided contest that was never in doubt. (And some of us were actually quite thankful for that, as it gave us the opportunity to get to bed early!) [...]
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 [...]
Thanks, AMR, for the link to this very special bracket! (I must say I’m a bit disappointed to see that he didn’t also complete a bracket on the women’s side. There’s still time, Mr. President!)
I am also trying to figure out if there is any way to get his picks into our pool here … [...]

Congratulations to the Twin Valley Flyers Peewee Hockey Team on winning the NH State Championship yesterday afternoon, defeating Back Bay in OT to take the trophy. (And it was our own Mo, of March Madness fame, who tipped in the winning goal!) Well done, Flyers – and thanks for an exciting weekend of great hockey [...]
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 [...]
Phew – I feel like it’s been a long time since I sat down with some good strong coffee and just caught up here.
There’s lots of news in the soccer world as the WPS season kick-off is just weeks away! March 29th, to be exact. (I should probably think about taking a day or two [...]
First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
My first read this morning included some tough talk from John Conyers regarding Karl Rove and the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of Mr. Turdblossom himself. You go John! Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is also investigating a widening number of alleged “selective prosecutions” which may have been (OMG) politically motivated. I’m glad this [...]
The silence it is deafening,
when Morgan’s trash talk ends,
and Alice leaves the country …
We feel bereft of friends!
How long will this haiatus stretch?
I hear it’s not so long!
The hoop wars, they begin afresh
before Thursday is gone!
So what to write? What to write indeed! There’s a whole, great big wonderful non-basketball-related world out there. I can almost [...]
