Reminder - nobody cares about how you're doing in your March Madness brackets. If they feign interest its only because they want to speak about their own. It's as boring to most as talk about your fantasy football team.

- Three cheers for the third places. Used to call these places remote offices - whether it be independent coffee shops (not a fan of Starbucks), my gym with free Wi-Fi, certain cigar bars, or others. Big fan.

Is it just me or could Elon Musk automate almost everything at the Boring Company using his Optimus robots to run his boring machines. Only planning would only really need to be done by humans. He could say he's doing this as a trial run for building on Mars and everyone would be fine with that. Just saying.

Change is tough and don't feel I can say it enough but the Democratic Party has forced me to change my party affiliation from "D" to "I" by moving further and further to the Left on issues. The Dems used to be the party of the blue collar working man but now they are the party of fringe issues. Don't trust them on what they say - watch what they do and if you're honest with yourself you'll be fed up and change too. And resent them all the more for making you be the one who has to change party affiliation.

The stranded NASA/Boeing astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore along with Crew Nine Commander Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Aleksandr Gorbonov successfully splashed down near Tallahassee, Florida yesterday. The rescue mission brought political prisoners Williams and Wilmore back to the US after being stranded at the ISS for 9-months. Political prisoners is the correct term for what they were. Wonder if any legacy media uses it.

The day after Saint Patrick's Day is a lot like the day after Christmas. On the day after Christmas all the Christmas carols suddenly stop and same thing with Irish music on the day after St. Paddy's day. The difference is you'll hear Irish tunes sprinkled in during the rest of the year but not so much with Christmas songs. Christmas songs make up for it though by being played incessantly for a full month before the holiday.

Ask Not
I used to think that phrase from JFK's Inaugural Address was the height of patriotism but as I've gotten older no longer agree. What part of liberty does doing things for the government entail? What part of capitalism?
If you think about it the "Ask Not" quote easily could be a slogan for the Chinese Communist Party. Almost fits like a glove.

- Interesting: How we spent our free time 1930-2024. Spoiler - we spend too much time online today.
- Excellent analysis of the US military's strikes on the Houthis.
- VDH: What are the Left's solutions for the problems they created?
- Europe is not ready for real war without help from the US. Analysis true!
Saint Cornelius of Ireland
Though not widely remembered today - at one point Saint Cornelius of Ireland (not to be confused with Saint Cornelius of Antioch) was second in popularity in the Emerald Isle only to Saint Patrick.
Saint Patrick is remembered for driving the snakes out of Ireland. Saint Cornelius was said to have driven the squirrels out of Ireland. This "miracle" of Saint Cornelius later proved to be his undoing. During the Great Potato Famine starving Irishmen and women wished they had tasty squirrel meat to eat and they cursed Saint Cornelius for driving out the furry rodents. In response to this outrage - Pope Pius IX removed Cornelius from the roll of official Catholic Saints.
His traditional Feast Day was celebrated April1st.
Saint Patrick's Day Flotsam and Jetsam

Saint Patrick's Day used to be a big day for me. I'd even take the day off from work as I was probably up to shenanigans that day or the day before (probably both). Couple years ago I went on a pub crawl with some friends to at least five bars (that I remember) and ended at a place with a live band we liked. We had a designated driver so no inhibitions. Now I even have to remind myself to wear green. Getting old I guess.

Today is the final round of The Players Championship in golf. If someone notices me watching it on TV and tries to strike up a conversation I'll say that I'm just watching to see how Tiger is doing. That normally will kill the attempt (sometimes the jokes are just for me).
