Still no real war content ...
There's a war going on, and yet I'm still focused on everything else -- basketball, the Oscars, etc. I won't apologize for that for now.

So, speaking of hoops, my hedge Final Four bets out of the East -- Xavier and Florida -- are both gone. This after sweating through that Syracuse game. As I've said before, the second round is when brackets really go down the tubes.

A couple of other TV notes: It was a nice little bit of broadcasting seeing Bonnie Bernstein interviewing Ashley Judd. On the other hand, why in the world are we giving Joe Millionaire more screen time by having him advertise KFC?
