Gator Glory

The NCAA tournament is down to four and four surprising teams at that. No number seeds made it to the final four and 11th seed George Mason seems to have captured the hearts of basketball fans everyone. While I would love to see the underdog win the whole thing, I just don't see it happening. Florida, a team that I didn't think would get out of the second round after their poor performance in the SEC championship game against a mediocre South Carolina team, appears to be playing the best ball going into the final four. They have all the pieces and should defeat George Mason and then take down either LSU or UCLA. I think Billy Donovan and company will be cutting down the nets on Monday.

A Little Late Isn't It?

The lead story on the Star Tribune's website right now has a headline of "Gay-marriage storm could erupt in Minnesota".

I hate to rain on the parades of the editors at the Strib, but I think the storm is already here. Consider it erputed ladies and gentlemen. If you live in Minnesota and pay any attention to the local newspapers, radio airwaves and local newscasts, you are aware that we are in the midst of the storm. The Star Tribune of all places should know this.

Strib columnist Katherine Kersten writes about gay-marriage three out of every four columns these days. In order to maintain some sort of balance on the issue, columnists Doug Grow and Nick Coleman also write about the issue often these days.

The phones light up at any radio station that decides to tackle the issue. It is discussed often on WCCO (830 AM), KTLK (100.3 FM), KSTP (1500 AM) and KFAN (1130 AM).

Rallies are held daily it seems, often times at the capitol in St. Paul. Of course when this happens, the local television station are there reporting on the story.

And of course the churches are involved. Every pastor and reverend and rabbi and preacher has been forced to relay their opinion on the matter.

Yes foulkes we are in a storm with no signs of it clearing.

What's On Your Facebook?

Word is that many employers are snooping around on candidates facebook profiles to try and dig up any possible dirt on current college students. What a joke. If employers don't remember what it was like to be in college then I wouldn't want to work for them anyways. If your boss is going behind your back to look at your facebook profile then I would say he has his undies in a little too tight of a bunch for my liking.
