Random Monday Morning Thoughts


  • I'll have The Official Liberally Lean NCAA Basketball Bracket For College Teams Which Has No Prize [insert trademark] up in a few minutes.  Edit: It should be here. Tell me if you have any problems, and please vote responsibly. And get those funny names ready.
  • CBS decided to make it a two hour presentation of the seedings for the tournament and then someone decided to release an absolutely accurate bracket on Twitter that had been leaked.
  • Baylor plays Yale in the first round. That will be the whitest crowd in the history of ever. 
  • I've developed a serious case of the hiccups and they keep coming back. That hasn't happened in years. 
  • I caught another fish! Yay! It swallowed the entire lure. Boo!
  • "Alabama deputy shoots dog after man loses everything in trailer fire, arrests him for disorderly conduct, on video"
  • An off-duty Farmer's Branch officer shot and killed a 16 year old in Addison last night.

  • Texas has gone from a drought to a rain forest.
  • Mrs. LL knew where I went on Saturday and asked me about it, and I have no idea how she knew. I actually laughed. I've got nothing to hide and that's a good feeling. 
  • The end of the Oklahoma/WVU game was incredible. I'll name it "The Shot That Never Was."
  • Uncovered: In November a pastor called for the execution of gays and then introduced Ted Cruz. "Kevin Swanson: Yes, Romans Chapter 1 verse 32 the Apostle Paul does says [sic] that homosexuals are worthy of death. His words not mine! And I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And I am not ashamed of the truth of the word of God. And I am willing to go to jail…."
