Japan Melts, Libya Burns, Deficit Grows ... and Obama Fills Out NCAA Bracket?

Oh, Thank God: Obama Set to Reveal NCAA Picks

(By Mike Flynn, Big Government) -
Japan is suffering from a natural disaster that threatens to turn into an existential crisis. Colonel Q-ball has unleashed a blistering assault on pro-democracy rebel forces. Large swaths of the Middle East are in turmoil. The federal government is bleeding red ink, with absolutely no end in site. The economy sucks and is getting battered by skyrocketing commodity prices and a volatile oil market. Near-record numbers of Americans are leaving the work force. If the world isn’t quite on fire…it is at least approaching a slow burn.

But, what’s all that against a little MARCH MADNESS!

Mike Allen’s Playbook reveals that today, Barack Obama will take some time to fill out his bracket for the upcoming NCAA College Basketball tournament. The 'Commander-in-Chief’s' picks will be released tomorrow on ESPN.

As Glenn Reynolds would say, the country’s in the very best of hands.
