Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Rhode Island's possible new state slogans
- My new favorite pastime (and yes I know the joke is old)
- This is the house that Augusta National can't buy
- The one-size golf staff size makes a lot of sense to me
- Cool
- Interesting point - be careful if you are using Tinder or any other "free" apps
- Heh heh
- A reminder that Tom Brady is also a time-traveling drummer

- Good on ya mate - one Australian man estimated to have saved lives of 2 million babies
- Marco Rubio's driving record? Really?
- Good list of movie oral histories.
- Interesting look at behind the scenes at Augusta. More like the Soup Nazi of golf than the North Korea of golf if you ask me.
- Heh heh. Not sure if this chart is from Audubon.
- Interesting - how do water towers work? Never considered that height was a function of water pressure.
- Be careful when donating money to charities
- This is funny because it is so true!

Stuff I found interesting and thought I'd share.
- Happy Presidents Day (still say Washington and Lincoln should each get their own day). Here's a view of the Washington Monument that you don't see every day.
- Fantastic and comprehensive review of the film career of Bill Murray
- Joe Posnanski memorializes Augusta National's the Eisenhower tree - which sadly is no more
- Thinking of Abba as Tea Party pioneers in outrageous outfits is strangely amusing
- Joe Strummer's 1979 handwritten lyrics to London Calling
- The unbelievable but true story of Mitchell Paige - American hero and the real life face of the GI Joe doll. Where do we find such men?

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
President Obama weighed into Augusta National not having any female members but I'd be willing to bet a months pay that if you took the number of women who have played rounds of golf at Augusta this year versus the number of rounds women have played with the President since he was elected - the percentage of women playing at Augusta National would be higher. Very hypocritical comments by the President... Any time you think your favorite baseball team made a bad financial move (Hello John Lackey) just remember that the Mets still owe Bobby Bonilla $1.2 million a year until 2035. I laugh any time I think about that... The Manchurian Candidate indeed. Obama's Budget: Interest payments will exceed Defense Budget in 2019. And who will we be paying those interest payments to? The Chinese... Every Opening Day I wish for just two things - a Red Sox victory and for Dan Shaughnessy to get explosive diarrhea... Harvard Law Review must be so proud of President Obama's views on the Supreme Court. This will make the President releasing his college transcripts a campaign issue. What if his marks aren't all that his supporters have made them out to be? If he doesn't release them then that's an issue all by itself... I am so pissed at myself that I didn't go to a bar that served fried chicken to watch the Red Sox Opening Day!... Wonder if the advisor who convinced Al Gore to use the word "lockbox" as a centerpiece of his campaign is still employed in politics... The price of food at the Masters is awesome. You can't go there and not get the Pimento Cheese sandwich... Tweet of the day - imagine if Bush said this:

Obama said under Ryan's budget plan, "hundreds of national parks will close." There are 58 national parks.

Stuff I found interesting and thought I'd share.
- Study: Beer beats water for hydration
- Melons
- Dan Wentzel looks at protesting at Augusta National. Shane Brown the preacher he mentions is more legitimate than uber harpy Martha Burk. Has anyone heard from Burke since her "look at me" New York Times backed protest? If she was legit you would have heard from her on other women's issues at least one freaking time. Make my dinner Martha - iron my shirt!
- Cowboy up!
- Who knew? George Lucas' daughter is an MMA fighter
- Actual medical condition: "The Jumping Frenchman of Maine Disorder"
