A study indicates that there will be $1.7 BILLION dollars in lost productivity during college basketball’s March Madness national championship tournament. What’s an employer to do? No doubt he wants to keep the work force on its toes and doing their best. Trying to stifle the madness may lead to more trouble than its worth. Particularly when you have the Commander in Chief of all US forces filling out “his” brackets for ESPN, let’s face it boss, you might as well go all in.
Put a tv in the break room. Get your best numbers guy to set up the pool – screw any laws forbidding organized gambling. Encourage employees to wear “their” school colors or the ones of the teams they are betting on. What the heck, get some chips, pizzas and keg of beer. We’re Americans, let’s not quit until we make that puny 1.7 a 7.1 BILLION.
If the president can take time out of his busy day of leading the free world during two wars, economic collapse, an energy crisis, a humanitarian disaster of Biblical proportion in Japan and utter chaos in the Middle East, what’s to say the third teller at the First Fifth and Last Bank can’t make change for a $100 while deciding whether to go with The OSU or Duke in the final?
Lex has lately shunned his tendency toward Jr. High name calling of the president. Lex is lifting that shun to say this – You worthless punk. Libya smolders while you golf. Japan suffers while you fine tune “your” bracket. Our economy is a wreck while you deliver a speech on bullying. States are broke. Schools are a mess. But you take your ugly mug and sail ears onto ESPN to talk college basketball. You are a pathetic loser. And I do not believe for one minute that it is “your” bracket. No doubt some team of sports aficionados have gotten together and come up with a bracket for you. Like everything in your unproductive unremarkable life, there will be an affirmative action bracket done for you while you munch arugula in front of Moochell before sneaking out for a hamburger and fries. You are a fraud, a fake and a phony scam artist. On his worst day GWB is a better man than you are on your best.

Quick, get the Rev’s JJ and Al, the Pres and AG Holder on the phone. While doing my NCAA brackets I noticed a severe lack of racial diversity on the basketball teams. To be consistent with the lowering of standards with the Dayton PD we need their commitment to change this. After all, this has nothing to do with ability but skin color. The discrimination against 5 foot 10 inch white guys, Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans is appalling (Exceptions perhaps at Utah St, Brigham Young, and Boston College). The present system whereby playing basketball is based on basketball skills must end now.
I know…..sounds ridiculous. If only the Dayton PD had a rowing team. Maybe they could still hire smart white guys.
