Duke
It seems almost a shame that Duke-hating has become so prevalent that it is in danger of becoming passe. But, for now, I'll still gleefully indulge in it while I still can.
NY Times article regarding Duke's loss to WVU, sent to me by Chad. Although I find the hubris displayed by WVU a bit off-putting, and, after all, it is the arrogance of Duke that makes them so dislikable, so arrogance in kind does not serve the Mountaineers well.
"Duke, USC, Cornell, and eight more odious schools in this year's NCAA Tournament" from Slate.
An attempt to explain the hatred of Duke.

Is the problem this simple?

DMX
He comes across very astute and observant in this short interview regarding Obama.

Urban Pirates sounds like the name of a gang
Here is your chance to name a pirate ship. I have already submitted mine, and no, "Ass" and "Poo" are not taken.

What the hell
Comedy Central keeps running commercials for Mirena, a stick-it-in-you contraceptive that makes it so you can't get knocked up for like 5 years. Sounds awesome. I'm all for that. They even say it's "reversible," which leads me to believe that if you take it out you can start spitting out welfare tickets again. Nice. Yay science.
But then they say "candidates for Mirena are in a stable relationship and have had at least one child." What the hell. Why, if it's reversible, are candidates anything less than "women that don't want to get pregnant now or in the foreseeable future." The only thing I can think of is this caveat is a concession to religious nuts that still think condoms are a sin, and the like. Which, of course, I am not in favor of.
Michelle, you know more about lady parts than we do - you're on your way to being an OB/GYN, right? And most of us have still never seen an actual vagina, correct? Is there something I'm missing in this goofball rule? "No babies ever, unless you choose to reverse it...provided, of course, you are in love with a dude and already have already gne forth and multiplied." Phug.
And that logo totally looks like a vagina and ovaries. Totally.

Highway Sign
Some of us are apparently capable of doing this, although I believe it was remotely, and on an overhead sign. Nonetheless, this is amusing.

For A Year = ?
A gentleman at the Wizards game last night took home a fortune in fabulous prizes just for showing up and being the 25 millionth fan. Among his schwag was Dunkin Donuts coffee for a year, Papa John’s pizza for a year and Chipotle burritos for a year. What, exactl,y consitutes (Random Product) for a year? Unlimited purchase? One product per day? Does anyone have any idea how they actually determine this and what the amount is?

Math is making headlines. Roy and that 'Numb3rs' show must be happy
So despite big wins in Texas and Ohio yesterday, it still appears that the math is troubling for her campaign. As noted by a guy who has even more time than me, Hillary could win every state from here on out and still not get the nomination.
As the first article points out, aside from some huge scandal (Barak slept with Monica Lewinski in the Lincoln bedroom! You heard it here first!) both delegates won't have a secured victory at the end of the primaries - it will come down to the superdelegates.
