Another NCAA Tournament has come and gone. The Square Pool was a blast again! Corey Mettler took home the grand prize with Kansas' victory. He also won the Bracket Pool, the lucky bastard. I look forward to March of '09!

I was wondering when people were going to get around to talking about Greenspan and his effect on what's happened to the economy. I'm sure there's been talk about his stewardship through the long expansion of the US economy, but now that the bubble has burst, he's getting some more scrutiny. I think it's a little bit of both him and just market factors, but it'd be nice to see him take some blame. From this article, it seems he thinks he's off scot free. [LA Times]

Yikes. Slowly but surely I'm getting a better idea of how dangerous the sport of equestrian can truly be. Like the article says, the riders know they're in a dangerous course with an animal that has a mind of it's own. I guess that's what most of them love about the sport, the competition with their horse. [NY Times]
