I wonder if people will be watching that and the political news will die down for a while?

2. ACC!
Mostly I ignore sports, and I don't have a TV, but I grew up in ACC territory, so I do have a soft spot for college basketball.

4. Well, I figure people on DU won't ignore it...
When do they set the brackets? I might actually have to find a local place to watch - my alma mater hasn't been in for decades but had a good season this year.

6. this weekend, I think
I actually think that march madness will take lots of attention away from politics, since we are so far away from Pennsylvania, North Carolina and the rest.

5. No...they'll be intimidated by all the black men
'My god - one of those guys could be our next secreatary of state!' Where will it end!

If you need the sarcasm thing for this, then it's probably better if you do read it literally.
