March Madness

Brackets, Comedy and Sanjaya

All of my Elite 8 teams are alive (in one pool I did). I am also alive in the Sweet Sixteen of March Madness at Caroline’s on Broadway. So apparently I have more success in basketball related events than I did in actually playing basketball.

In a sad piece of news, Amherst College, as comedian Danny Rouhier put it, “The group of students that decided they wanted to break away from Wiliams and for their own purple school,” has won the D-III national Title in Basketball. I am hoping that to balance all of that negative energy coming from Amherst, Massachusetts, the universe sees fit to grant a victory in a comedy competition to a Williams graduate.

And in other competition news I am pleased to see that Sanjaya is still surviving American Idol. This guy looks to me like Michael Jackson if he had become a pedophile in his teens instead of his forties. And Sanjaya’s sister had some breast work done, or so it appeared from the shot of her on TV. That makes me think is someone paying Sanjaya’s family compensation for the embarrassment he is causing them?

Clearly I have little of value to share with you today.
