Sad news this morning (click here to avoid any sports talk<\/a>)….<\/p>\n

After leading by 8 points at halftime, SU finally ran out of gas and lost to Louisville in the Big East Championship game. Too bad. <\/p>\n

This was a pretty scary moment:<\/p>\n

Fortunately, he turned out to be OK. Now we wait to see where they get seeded for the NCAA tournament. I figure them for a three or (more likely) a four seed.<\/p>\n

Also, congratulations to Kevin and the Akron Zips (BTW, Kev, what’s with the kangaroo?) on winning the MAC last night, and earning a trip to the NCAAs for the first time since 1986.<\/p>\n

On the lacrosse side, in a rematch of last year’s NCAA Championship game teams, it was SU 14 Johns Hopkins 11. <\/p>\n

What the hell, might as well plug my old high school, too, who earned another trip to the NY State Final Four, winning 90 – 61. They’re ranked #1 in the State, and look like they may successfully defend their titles (yeah, they have two tournaments here; first the public schools, and then the “federation” or something that has the NYC Catholic schools in it) again this year.<\/p>\n

Will Ferrell<\/a> as Dubya on HBO last night? Friggin’ excellent (especially that hot Condi, though they neglected to give her the big tooth gap). I gotta teach Granny the Western grip.<\/p>\n

In other news…<\/p>\n

On Press the Meat today it’s the Chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers Dr. Christina Romer and the House Republican Dick<\/del> Whip Rep. Eric Cantor. Plus, an economic and political roundtable with asno inmenso David Frum, the BBC’s Chatty Katty Kay, Steve Liesman of Corrupt News Butthole Central, and PBS’s Tavis Smiley.<\/p>\n

Faze the Nation has Larry Summers, Tom “my head is flat” Friedman, and Mike “The Reverend” Fletcher (“it’s Feltcher!” “Whatever”) from the WaPost.<\/p>\n

On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has Austan Goolsbee of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers rethug Bob Corker, Barney Frank, chief economist of Economy.com, Mark Zandi and FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair.<\/p>\n

Over at the Goebbels network Larry Summers gets trotted out again, plus there’s Mitch “the prick” McConnell, and at the roundtable it’s George :jerk: Will, Frank Rich, Business Week’s Jim Ellis and Robert Kuttner of the American Prospect.<\/p>\n

Later, on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley has a double-lenght segment with Ben Bernake, and Lesley Stahl has “slow food” advocate Alice Waters.<\/p>\n

Have a good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
