The President is Against Us

In revealing his brackets, Obama has Maryland beating Cal in the first round. The thanks we get after cheering his brother-in-law coming back from the inauguration. I guess he figures any team that was bad enough to lose to his brothers' team twice isn't worth of a 7 seed. We must win just so we don't hear the "Just like football!" chant from Maryland fans. Beware of the turtle and the Vasquez.

I’m confused, since when did Obama having a bracket become headline news?
The media needs to get over its hardon with Obama’s personal life and move onto more important things.
JAI HO!
No, I’m annoyed that the media decides to pay more attention to Obama’s NCAA bracket, how much he can bench, his personal friendships, etc. than his policies or anything else.
JAI HO!
I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me or mocking me, but this kind of reporting needs to stop…
JAI HO!
It's hotlinked, so I'll describe it to you:
The picture is the top 1/2 of a tabby cat with a surprised look on his face on a field of green. His mouth is wide open, as are his eyes. This poor cat is missing his right ear and he looks emaciated. Above the cat’s head, in a bold font of white type outlined in black, is written, “Oh noez!” Below the cat is written, “Leave Palin Alonez!”

This reporting is silly and unnecessary
But I’m pretty sure the people reporting on this didn’t get up and decide to write about Obama’s NCAA picks instead of his education policy. This reporting isn’t in place of something else.
But it’s still silly.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
No, you’re right. It just seems silly that they’re even reporting about it in the first place and more silly that people are getting paid to analyse his bracket.
JAI HO!
It’s called “English,” motherfucker. Do you speak it?!

You are making this bracket “issue” bigger than it is, son.
Yeah...
I think this is nothing to get remotely worked up about. I like hearing about it more than the Octomom.

word…we need to be sharp from behind the arc, clean up the glass, stay out of foul trouble, make free throws, establish a low post game, and not take dumbass shots with dudes up in our grill (read: Ben Braun offense).

"I’m kind of disappointed because I’m from the south side of Chicago," point guard Jerome Randle said of the president, who also has Chicago roots.
"I’m defintely an Obama fan, maybe Obama isn’t a Cal fan," added junior guard Patrick Christopher. "We’ll be OK. Everybody isn’t always going to necessarily be on our side. That hasn’t stopped us from trying to achieve what we want to achieve."
Maryland’s players were tickled to have Obama’s support. "It felt good that the president knows about us and has confidence in us," guard Adrian Bowie said.
"It’s pretty cool, but we’ve got to earn our wins in the tournament," point guard Greivis Vasquez said. "We know we’re going to face a good team. It’ll probably help a little bit. I want to win on the court."
Cal small forward Theo Robertson noted that Obama picked just one of six Pac-10 teams to win its opening game. "There wasn’t a lot of Pac-10 love from our president," Robertson said.

JAI HO!
In all honesty, all my overreaction aside, do you not see something wrong with this picture?
This goes well beyond mere politics – something is dead wrong when this much attention is being given to the president’s damn NCAA bracket.
JAI HO!
Yah it’s totally headline on CNN, MSNBC, Drudge, Foxnews.

Children, Children
As someone who remembers the endless and mind-numbing coverage of the White House weddings of Lynda Bird Johnson and Tricia Nixon — at the height of the Viet Nam War, when there really were more important things to report on — I can tell you that the media’s obsession with trivia has been around forever. The age of 24-hour cable “news” and the internet may have turned up the volume, but the substance is unaltered.
From Andrew Jackson’s committing adultery with his own wife (yes, he really did), to Mary Lincoln’s shopping sprees, to Jackie Kennedy’s hats, these things never change. And it’s not just presidents. Princess Diana? OJ Simpson? Britney Spears? Scott Peterson? It’s not about the media giving Obama or anyone else a free ride. It’s about making money. As long as the public is buying this junk, the media will be selling it.

Explain this Andrew Jackson thing.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; It would've been, could've been, worse than you would ever know. Oh the Ropert melted, but we still have the Masoli.
I thought no one would ever ask
When Andrew Jackson met his future wife, Rachel Donelson Robards, she was already married to one Lewis Robards, who was evidently not a good guy. Andy and Rachel ran off together, and Rachel filed for a divorce from Robards. At that time, the only way to get a divorce was by an act passed through the state legislature. Andy and Rachel were told that the divorce had been granted, and they got married in 1791. Two years later, they discovered that while the act giving Rachel a divorce had been introduced in the legislature, it had not actually been passed. So she wasn’t really divorced. They had been “living in sin” in a bigamous, adulterous relationship for two years. They got the divorce finalized and got remarried. As you can imagine, this was an enormous scandal in the 1790s.
Jackson had a hair-trigger temper. And to say that he was sensitive about this subject is an understatement. He fought three duels against men who mocked his wife’s honor. In one of those duels he killed his opponent and was seriously injured himself, carrying a bullet in his chest which caused him great suffering for the rest of his life. During the 1828 presidential election, the opposition newspapers made a huge issue of Jackson’s marriage, and printed all sorts of horrible stories about Rachel. Rachel died of a heart attack shortly after the election, and Jackson blamed those newspapers for her death. “God may forgive them,” he said. “I never will.”

Not exactly...
It’s the sound created when the censor “shit” on the radio, the play it backwards, it becomes “itsh,” but it has slowly become “ish” because it is easier and more fun to say.

Smarmy Coach K agrees with Rishi
Link inside the blockquote.
Responding to an Associated Press reporter’s question about Barack Obama picking against Duke in his much-hyped tournament picks which were broadcast on ESPN today, Krzyzewski said:
“Somebody said that we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets.”
I bet he wishes he should've focused on teaching Jason Williams how to shoot Free Throws earlier this decade.
