OMG Check Out This Bracket!

By - Mar 23rd, 2008 02:52 pm

It’s March madness, baby! The competition leading up to the Final Four and the NCAA basketball championship has evolved into one of the most entertaining sports events of the year. And with Wisconsin and Marquette playing well and still alive as of this writing (Wisconsin has already advanced to the Sweet Sixteen while Marquette is battling tough with favored Stanford in the second half).

But this being Wisconsin, ya gotta check out the bracket competition developed by the Washington Post.

They started with 64 of the finest beers in the nation and are letting their discriminating readers decide which brews advance.

I’ll drink to that.

And while I’m raising a glass in tribute to the MSM’s WP, one of the twin titans of newsprint, let me also suggest that you have a look at the Post’s fact checker feature which examines the dubious claims of the various campaigns and grades them on a scale of Pinocchios for untruthfulness.

Hillary Clinton’s assertion that she made a trip to Bosnia because it was too dangerous for Bill and that she dodged bullets at the airport earns the highest rating of four Pinocchios. Apparently, the comedian Sinbad was on the trip with her, as were print and broadcast reporters and they’ve called her on her whopper.

Who knew Sen. Clinton had a Rambo complex?
