Watching people inflate those really gigantic balloons, that's really a thing? At least, it gives people a nice excuse to get out early from work and school.

Big picture, this tournament has a lot of things going for it--two venues in Las Vegas, 2 channels covering games all day and night, plus a format that isn't stuck on the familiar bracket style format. I like the Bahamas, Acrisure in California, even the Wide World of Sports in Florida. Maui is OK 😐

Honest "journalism", I say that in quotes left the station in the late 1990's/early 2000's. It's all about who gets the story first to get "clicks". I miss the days where most of the time we heard the facts, little fluff--especially with TV news. Look on YouTube and see what was said in 1969/79/90.

Even during Turkey Week, my goodness. Seriously, we all understand that's how it works in DC.

In my house, we used to do it around 1, 1:30 largely because my grandfather couldn’t drive in the dark.
I agree with 2, since you have to consider the time to stuff the turkey, then however many hours it is to put it in the oven. Some side dishes you could do the night before to avoid extra stress.

This is the type of game Purdue thrives in--nice ball movement, solid defense, plus Braden Smith making plays and helping set up his teammates. A true blueprint on how Final Four teams are built.

This is from the NIL/transfer portal has really helped file. Those who lived through the battles from the Big East during a bulk of the 1980's, it was quite a time to be a hoops fan. Even with the introduction of the 3-point shot in 1986-1987, that was a game changing moment. Show some perspective.

“The frankness and the openness…” (checks notes)
Left on the cutting room floor in favor of another parody ad on SNL.

And we all thought last week's press briefing was bad enough (thanks to Ashley Padilla's excellent impersonation), SNL writers will have more than enough material to last at least three years, if not more.

Mary has the right to ask the question. Personally, I felt that I was watching a horror movie in realtime.

This should remind some about similar questions asked by Norah O’Donnell on “60 Minutes”.
The full 75 minute interview is really head rolling, nearly similar to that of Bev Turner.
CBS even has a transcript if anyone doesn’t have time to watch the full interview, rather than the short 15 minute clip

I feel that there will be many heads rolling, even if the deadlines are met by the DOJ. Even if Congress decides to sue, there will be some major fireworks. Folks, we are in uncharted territory.

This is 1 million times greater than Watergate. If anyone recalls that horrible period (the 18 1/2 minute gap still sticks out), that Congress came oh so close to impeaching Nixon before he resigned. Bottom line, this scandal is next level.

Perfume, cologne--even sprayed on your arm, very nasty smells.🤮 I couldn't wait to get out of that section of Macy's back in the 2010's. The woman I dealt with that day was very nice, so at least I was able to breathe some nice outside air to make up the difference.

First, it was schools getting rid of penmanship and this--two words I can safely say, it's ugly.

Please continue to spread the word and who should ultimately be held fully accountable.

We are entering uncharted territory. They know that if the DOJ redacts anything, they have to report it within 15 days. Otherwise, Congress can sue and in our dreams, hopefully we can hear the news that many people who refused to comply should all end up in jail. No ifs, and's, or but's.
