Sorry to hear about Fess Parker passing away. The whole Injun FIghtin’ Davey Crockett fad was a little before my time, but I was big fan of Dan’l Boone, and his Russian Jew “Indian” sidekick, Mingo (Ed Ames, aka Edmund Dantes Urick). And they let Fess wear his Davey Crockett coonskin cap, too, which was nice.

Tough day yesterday for the Big East, with a bunch of teams going down in the first round. So far, so good in my “Pick With Your Heart” bracket, where you’re required to pick SU as the National Camp, and you got a 10-point bonus for picking Georgetown to lose in the first round (which they rather conveniently managed to do). Hopefully Syracuse won’t lose tonight, since this has already been a shitty enough week for me.

Big weekend for health care reform, supposedly. Republicans are now saying that Democrats hate God, because they had one vote on Christmas Eve, and are planning to hold another one on “a Sunday during Lent,” which of course is clearly prohibited under the Constitution.

Oh well, been doing a lot of sleeping lately. These crutches are killing my arm pits, plus it’s pretty hard to actually carry much of anything while using them. Kinda sucks.
