weekend roundup

People, I do not enjoy college basketball (mostly because the level of play is so incredibly bad), but I am mesmerized by the Mungowitz - Obama Bracket Shootout described in the post below this one.

Go Mungo!!!

While we wait to see what happens in round two, I suggest checking out a couple websites.

1. the blog of the TOTUS (teleprompter of the United States). Yes Obama's ubiquitous teleprompter now has it's own blog (hat tip to Peggy Noonan's WSJ column this morning).

2. F my life. English language spinoff of the French Vie de Merde. Sample entry:

Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't hang out with me because he felt really sick. I went to his house anyway to surprise him with homemade soup. I walk in to his room only to find him hooking up with my sister. She can't drive, our mom drove her there.

F my life indeed.

Wow! Those guys are better than 99.99 people on the planet. I guess you mean vs. nba and some overseas pros. I guess then you could say any econ not in the AER & Econometrica is all pretty bad.

Yes, the NCAA fellows play much better than my rec league, but I wouldn't advise watching my rec league either.

Today (instead of grading exams) I was trying to watch ASU-Syracuse but Pistons - Heat were on at the same time.

I couldn't keep the TV on CBS.
