That's why they call it March Madness! Who would have thought Northern Iowa could beat Kansas? It goes to show that every team in this contest is capable so having a top seed means nothing.

Proving everyone wrong is right. Nearly everybody I know who participated in a bracket pool had thrown in the towel by Saturday. And one guy swore of NCAA basketball forever. Somebody tell me Duke escaped the 2nd round.

I get what you're saying, Dave, and it's a good question, although she need not answer if she doesn't want to. I think everyone, regardless of what they think about health care legislation, needs to step back and take a wide-angle view of things. It

One might argue that a trip to Disney World is in fact a part of good health care. I understand what is you are saying about priorities, but at the same everyone needs a little R&R now again to keep your sanity. Who is to say that most of those t

You still find the station online: http://www.smoothjazzdetroit.com I know that's not a substitute for the radio station. I talked about that with Dave McMurray lately: http://www.smooth-jazz.de/Conversation/McMurray/McMurray.htm

Absolutely unreal the crap being hurled at us in the name of "broadcasting". Maybe its "just my radio", but every station sounds the same calling themselves classic rock, or light rock with a couple guys, or some dude with a fema

Actually you are correct but it is all hindsight. It was an intelligence failure and Bush took 100% responsibility even though Congress voted for and supported his move into Iraq. If you wish to ressurect the Iraq War thread, go back 8 years and dig

Sorry, point of fact; it was proven long ago that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. You were misinformed. Those guys were mostly Saudis, and mostly funded by Saudis. Nearly half the country believes otherwise. That half is also misinformed. Be
