MLB Hearings, NCAA Tourney Day 1
The Congressional hearings regarding steroids in Major League Baseball are currently underway. Having star players and future Hall of Famers testifying about whether or not they are junkies and cheaters is about as bad as it can get for Major League Baseball. Spring training is going on and the steroid controversy has not slowed down at all. The one thing Major League Baseball has going for it is that the NCAA Tournament is starting and it's St. Patrick's Day, so hopefully for MLB's sake, people will be too distracted and too drunk to notice Major League Baseball's latest scandal.

As I'm typing this a commercial for the fast-food restaurant Sonic just came on. These commercials are on all the time, but has anybody ever seen a Sonic? I've seen them twice. Once in Florida and once in Texas. I'm pretty sure there aren't any in Wisconsin, so why are there commercials for it? Does this bother anybody else?

Also I'd like to send my sympathies to everybody who came down with the flu, or who had their grandfather pass away, or who's car wouldn't start today. Enjoy the tournament. I think every year from when I was in 7th grade until I graduated from high school I skipped class the first two days of the tournament. It was funny because I had to lay the ground work early in the week for my illness. I'd start telling my teachers I didn't feel good on Tuesday or Wednesday. When I was younger I had to pretend at home to--once I got older and my parents realized I was going to stay home and watch the tournament no matter what. At least that way I could enjoy the games at home without fake coughing every few minutes.
