The NCAA Games


The NCAA has a quartet of games two days before the field of 64 really begins; some call it round one, some want to call it "play in" games but they're both wrong. They should call it the four – play games, an accurate and somewhat eye-catching title.

An interesting distinction


One of the distinctions we  hopefully learn as we get older is that  there is a big difference between what we can control and what we can predict.

To Republicans; Forget theology & ideology...learn biology


Ana Navarro, Republican strategist on "This Week" give an interesting "biblical" parallel to the Republican CPAC convention. She bragged about the "diversity" of the points of view, and said it was like Noah's  Ark "one of everything". Dear Ana, if you believe the story literally of Noah's Ark you should really know they had "two" of everything or later they would've had none of everything. For you guys to get better on Bible stuff you are going to have to get better on biological stuff.

General malfeasance by a Lt. Col. 


Lt. Col. Joseph Morse is under investigation by the army's criminal investigation command for groping a female army lawyer during a legal conference in Northern Virginia in 2011. What makes this case fascinating is that the army is attempting to train prosecutors to handle physical abuse and sexual abuse cases. And, that happens to be the exact job description of the above mentioned Joseph Morse. So forgive the play on words, but lets put this in "Morse" code; You are supposed to "handle" sexual abuse cases, not "handle" the females that work with you.
