March Madness NOT confined to college basketball....
....but since it's important, let's start there today. I didn't fill out an NCAA men's basketball championship bracket this year, and just as well, as most I've heard of are a complete shambles by now. Kentucky's holding up its end of things nicely, what with an unglamorous victory over the feisty Big Red of Cornell late last night, but Syracuse stumbled and lost last evening, and Kansas bit the dust over the weekend. Should be interesting the rest of the way, if only because it's less easy to predict. But the word "madness" has to apply to some of the more appalling acts that have been committed by those who cite love of country and such as the reason that they're breaking out windows at congressional offices, cutting gas lines at the homes of the brothers of legislators, and leaving quasi-obscene or threatening phone messages at congressmen's offices. For the life of me, I don't understand what motivates anyone to do such thing...
