Even if Alaska's Mount Redoubt doesn't completely blow its top, we're probably seeing Bobby Jindal's presidential ambitions go up in smoke. 50,000 feet up. Bobby is the Louisiana governor who criticized earmarks for volcano monitoring. Ain't no volcanos in Louisiana. A succinct summary of conservative provincial values. Democrats don't have to dwell on this; Sarah Palin will rub Bobby's face in volcanic ash come 2012. She can see the volcano from her window. Well, almost.

Rutgers 80, Auburn 52
I thought Rutgers would need two impressive wins to reach the Sweet 16. Required only one (the VCU game was sloppy). 27 points for Prince. Four in double figures. Held Auburn to 28% FG. Did it with little support from bench. No second half fade. Home court alone can't account for this. I'm impressed. Keep playing like this, they can beat any remaining team in the bracket.

Nazi Existentialist Philosopher Confusing Quote of the Day
"For the temporality of resoluteness has, with relation to its Present, the character of a moment-of-vision. When such a moment makes the Situation authentically present, this making-present does not itself take the lead, but is held in that future which is in the process of having-been."
Martin Heidegger
