From The Sports Desk...Who has a touch of the March Madness? Show of hands... Okay, that's almost everyone.
The Leader of the Free World is not that different from you and I. Sure he has his own airplane and makes decisions that affect billions, but other than that he's a normal guy who is going to be sneaking away from his oval-shaped office to watch The Big Dance.
The President sat down in the White House Map Room -- seriously -- to fill out his bracket.
That may be the coolest thing I've heard of a president doing since Nixon installed a bowling alley.
You can see President Obama's picks here.

March what?
Is that like bird flu?
It's just as contagious, pal.

He actually got those picks from his teleprompter.
Wow, four number 1 seeds making it to the final four. Hardly any upset picks.
Way to go out on a limb, Mr. President.
So he picked a blue mascot and a red mascot in the finals?
Just another attempt to be bipartisan.
It will fail when the Orange go all the way!!!
I have word that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi told Chris Dodd to type the picks into the teleprompter.
Nice.
Tim, how the hell have you been?
I've been so damn busy that I haven't had much time to congregate at the yesbutno.
Johnny, (if you really are Johnny) How the hell have you been?
I am rolling Dave. As right as the rain.

Good to hear big John.
I'm as right as a Dog leg.
So will the pres. be betting, say, what's left of the social security money on these picks in an effort to stimulate the Las Vegas Bookie's Union?
Actually Pablo, Obama still has some money left from the $100,000 that AIG donated to his campaign. Word has it that he is going to throw that into the mix.
I believe he's doubling down in Vegas. Hoping to recoup a few million for legalization of pot.
Or could it just be that you're unhappy his chose Louisville and NC.
PS - Let go Baseball!
Meanwhile in sports i actually care about, The Detroit red wings are 47 - 15 and in first in the western conference.
Sorry I didn't catch the response earlier, Dave. Been doing well ... and very busy. Just dropping in a few times a day to make my usual snide comments, stir up some shit and leave. All in a day's work.
I love that Obama pissed off Coach K with his picks....
and the economy aside, I love that we have a techie sports loving president who doesn't go to sleep at 9pm every night. He just seems aware of the whole picture and I respect that.
