TGIF

March Madness has struck! Millions are infected! No, I'm not talking about all the celebrating on St. Patrick's Day.

Thousands of brackets have been ruined and possibly millions of dollars have been lost in office pools. The fun continues for another two weeks.

Jonathan Brink on marriage.

The just and the unjust.

I hope your weather is getting more spring-like. Enjoy your weekend.
