Get Ready For The Slugfest

The first game in Saturday's Final Four doubleheader is the Georgetown-Ohio State slugfest.

Now, both teams have come from behind to win their respective games. Even when they were down by twenty or more points, they came back to beat North Carolina (Georgetown) and Memphis (Ohio State), so I'm expecting a shootout here between the Hoyas and Buckeyes.

I'm from Ohio, so even though I DO have a bit of a bias for those Bucks, there is a place in my heart for Georgetown.

The second game is the Florida-UCLA matchup. Last year, the Gators devoured the Bruins in the championship game. The Bruins look to avenge for that heartbreaking loss, while the Gators look to repeat in both the semifinals and the championship game.

My picks are Ohio State and Florida in the championship game, with the Bucks going for it all. However, Georgetown looks to be the spoiler, which I don't mind at all.
It'll be nice to see John Thompson, Jr's son, John Thompson III, and Patrick Ewing's son, Patrick Ewing, Jr. win one for their pops.

All Is Fair In Love and Betrayal

I don't know where to start, so I'll just write anything.

There's this bitch, Linda. I told you about her before- I'll post a picture in the future. She's kind of what I call a 'guilty pleasure', thing is that she's far from being a perfect '10', but in my desperate moments I find myself drawn to her. Don't ask why. It just happens.

However, things are changing. Sure, there are times when I want to pork this bitch, but then I have to worry about catching STDs and every other parasite she may carry (her history is, to put it bluntly, is less than exemplary. Drug abuse; prostitution. Makes me wonder if she was the inspiration for the Comedy Central sitcom Strangers With Candy. Shit, nothing's perfect).

I may stoop down and fuck this bitch, just to get her out of my system. But if I do, I must take into account the fact that I'm taking a really big risk here.

Then again, I guess that's what the sexual game sometimes engenders. Otherwise, we'd all go insane from not getting any.

JVC Up For Sale

Usually, American companies are on the auction block, only to be bought out by foreign companies and investors.

But in a rare move in the tech world, it's the other way around.

Matsushita- the owner of Panasonic and Victor Comapny of Japan (JVC) is selling the latter. Two American firms, one being Texas Pacific Group- the same folks who tried to buy PGE (Portland General Electric. They almost succeeded, but some ex-governor's shennannigans from 33 years ago kind of blew that apart, didn't it?...anyway...the other is Celeberus, a hedge fund).

What will this mean for those of us who own electronics from JVC?

I'll Be Expecting Your Resignation Soon, Mr. Vice President

Boy, does Washington have it in for Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney.

His chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby gets convicted of two counts of perjury; one count of obstruction of justice, and one of making false statements to federal investigators in the Valerie Palme case- where a now ex-CIA operative's name was revealed. Many people blame him for pulling President Bush's strings, using the head of the Bush crime family as a puppet (insert theme from The Sopranos here). Now, just about everyone- particularly those in the Grand Old (or must I use Good Ol' Boys)Party- are looking at him as if he's a walking case of genital herpes, genital warts, and syphilis.

Many believe that Cheney should have had his walking papers long ago, but our Dolt...er, Commander-in-Chief has this 'loyalty complex' that he can't- or doesn't seem to want to- get rid of. Like the now ex-Secretary of Defense, Donald Scums...um, Rumsfeld before him, Cheney should now get tossed out on his ass- at least while that pacemaker's still in working order.

But should King George II (his pappy is George I, but at least George I had more sense...) decide to keep Dickhead for another 1 1/2 years or so, his presence could be a real asset to the Democrats. After all, why get rid of ol' Tricky Dick (sorry, Mr. Cheney. Now that Nixon's gone to the great White House in the sky- or in the fiery pit- you've inherited the nickname) when the Democrats are itching to have everything pass in both chambers of Congress, and the support for the War on Terrorism continues to erode. Cheney's tenure as Vice President can only help them, while almost every Republican is praying to Jehovah that either Bush finally gets over his loyalty complex and kick his second-in-command out, or that his pacemaker finally gives out.

Either way, Cheney's going to say au revoir to Washington before 2007 is out.
