Yet another ridiculously short weekend is behind us. Here, as you might have guessed, it was basically wintry. Saturday was very cold, but Sunday wasn’t too bad – cold start, but sunny and actually above freezing. That’s about as good as it seems to get. Sorry to the folks in town for the NCAAs for the chilly weather. I guess there were quite a few “Syracuse sucks” tweets and whatnot. Less about the weather and more about how they just plain hate us (though Magic Johnson seemed to enjoy himself). Sorry, I guess. Wasn’t my idea to have all you fuckers here. In fact, if it was up to me, I’d have to the NCAA to go Cheney themselves and have their little tournament someplace else. Like Munnsville.

Sorry we can live up to such stellar venues as Jacksonville, Dayton, Columbus, and Omaha. Or of course the place for next weekend’s big show, Indianapolis, where they respect your right to discriminate – as long as you’re doing it for religious reasons. So if I’m an atheist, does that mean I don’t have the right to discriminate against anybody? I saw somebody on what passes for the news this morning saying it aint about the gays. He runs a t-shirt or sign shop or something, and was saying he shouldn’t have to print something that says “Satan is Great” ‘cuz it goes against his religion.

I’d have asked him if he’d have a problem printing “Allahu Akbar” on something, and if so what the “religious” objection would be.

Actually, I probably wouldn’t have asked him anything, because the handful of times I’ve been to Indiana is was only because I was on my way to somewhere else. And Notre Dame is in Indiana, so fuck them (though the KOA outside South Bend is pretty nice and so is the guy that runs it – at least, 15 years ago they were).

Well, back to work I guess.
