I have the perfect cheese to go with that grater...
I can't get this to zoom in enough to see if the "patient" is Jeffrey Epstein - but thinking that's a high probability.
Just when you think he can't do anything more offensive or stupid...
I apologize in advance for linking to anything over on Musk's Cesspool - but today's "opening" for the CBS Telecast of The Masters is quite something! You might even get a little misty eyed...

Ladies and Gentlemen - your last place Chicago #Cubs... SUCK!
Looks like Tiger Woods returned from Switzerland early and just showed up in Augusta...

So good news! Taco Donny backs down (again) on destroying Iran's Civilization. So the World shouldn't be coming to an end now for at least two more weeks. JFC!
Bondi ran out of turd polish. Leavitt is going to run out of turd polish. Jesus Christ, these people are covering for a pedo. There’s not enough turd polish.
👍Also when Schumer caved the first time on the shutdown (infuriating the Democratic base and Dems in the House) Wahls immediately spoke up criticizing that. What did you hear from Turek: "Crickets" - not going to "offend" his sugar daddy.
(3 of 3) Turek has very minimal experience that justifies his selection. State Senator Zach Wahls has far more experience, actually doesn't take PAC $$, and is someone who won't be beholding to Chuck Schumer or any other of the Democratic "Old Guards". Time for meaningful change in Iowa and in DC.
(2 of 3) 2nd Turek said he doesn’t take PAC $$. Technically maybe but he certainly takes millions in PAC support - primarily Chuck Schumer’s PAC - Chuck has decided he's dictating who Iowa gets to pick. THE LAST THING I’M INTERESTED IN IS CHUCK SCHUMER TELLING ME WHO I’M SUPPOSED TO VOTE FOR.
(1 of 3) I've held off posting about Iowa's Democratic US Senate Primary but after hearing Josh Turek on Pod Save America it's time to do so. Turek blatantly lied at least twice: saying he's the only candidate who's not a millionaire. I assure you Zach Wahls and (probably) Ashley Hinson are not.
For Ben McCollum, "close" can be a chasm. The distance of how close the Hawkeyes came this season to Final Four is on the coach's road map for the offseason and beyond. It's THE MONDAY TIPOFF. iowacollegehoops.com/2026/03/30/t...
And now my annual post-basketball season existential crisis begins.
You guys tell me, I never felt like the coach or the team “lost control” all that many times this year. I don’t mean to draw that contrast, but I do think demeanor (coach/team) won games for Iowa this year. Also, does this make Stirtzy an all-timer? I’m an emphatic yes.
The #Hawkeyes go to the Elite 8 in Ben McCollum's 1st year as UI Head Coach - did it with just 1 holdover from last season's team and ended years of frustration - McCollum is a terrific coach and you have to feel good about the future of Iowa Men's Basketball.
The Hawks finish the season 24-13.
FADE TO BLACK...
Illinois 71 - Iowa 59
The #Hawkeyes led most of this Elite 8 game but faded down the stretch - went 7+ mins total in 2H without a FG. UI's 3s vs. IL's RBs - in the end the RBs advantage was huge. Stirtz & Wagler were the stars for their teams. Illini headed to the Final 4.
At least we have a coach that uses his timeouts.
1H | Iowa 32 - Illinois 28
The #Hawkeyes have led the entire game, starting with a 12-2 run at the outset - despite 7 mins of scoring drought, UI is shooting 57% FGs (50% 3s). Stirtz has been superb: 15 pts. Illini dominating RBs + has a significant FT disparity over UI. Iowa's D has been solid.
Just in case you need a reminder (probably not) but the #Hawkeyes tip off at 5:09 PM today vs. the Illini in the Elite 8. Gird (and pace) yourselves...
I could have asked if they're playing with just 10 men on the field -- but that's so fresh it might have been too cruel...
Have they lost yet?
👍
Also in the same city that the #Hawkeyes last played in a Final Four. I was there for both games (still played a consolation game back then).
Pretty amazing really.
Tip times for Saturday:
OK. Two more from tonight's Sweet 16 Victory. Amidst all of the hoop-la (pun intended) I forget to post that the #Hawkeyes improved to 24-12.
Also this might be my favorite pic from tonight's game (courtesy of the great Brian Ray | Hawkeyesports.com) - talk about stars...
Sweet Dreams...
Tom Davis is one of the nicest persons I have ever met - in any context. A true gentleman. A great coach. Coached an extremely exciting, up-tempo version of basketball. Bob Bowlsby treated him like crap at the end. #Hawkeyes AD Beth Goetz has restored UI's MBB credibility with her hire of McCollum.
Couple of other thoughts. The #Hawkeyes only led this game for 2:10 - HOWEVER - it was the Final 2:10. Lowest #B1G Seed to ever make the Elite 8 - in history! 1987 was the last time Iowa reached the Elite 8 led by the legendary Tom Davis. Bowlsby firing Dr. Tom was one of the worst decisions ever.
