Time to get back to work, you damn dogs.  Well, after you check your bracket to see how you’re stacking up.  I can officially say that I’m not doing too well.  Anyway, the links are why we’re here.  Not to gloat over Duke going down or to bitch about how the officials all but handed a few big favorites their games.  So let’s get down to business.

Rand Paul speaks some wisdom. Let’s see if Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP listen.

Confirmation hearings start today for Neil Gorsuch.  And Team Blue are looking for every possible way to Bork him.  Good luck…especially those of you that voted to confirm him last time around.

Are illegal aliens voting?  They sure seem to have been in Frederick County, MD.

Wisconsin Department of Justice gets one right.  Predictably, the police unions are not happy.

Sheila Jackson-Lee does what Sheila Jackson-Lee’s gonna do. Which, in this case like so many others, means she’s going full retard.

Artist (claims she was) threatened with death over Trump billboard in Arizona.  Of course, she probably won’t get thrown onto a hate-crime watch list like people depicting Obama in a negative light did by the SPLC.  But I’m sure there’s no double-standard there.

And now, The Police!

Get up and out of bed.  Even if you’ve got no particular place to go.

The father of rock-n-roll is dead.

Flying Home.  30 nations are refusing to take back illegals being deported after they commit serious crimes.

Why Should We End This Way? Is the Trump admin about to destroy the EPA?

 Crazy Arms.  North Korea tests high-thrust rocket engine.  For their “space program”.

Bring Another Drink. Half of women drink while trying to get pregnant or shortly after conception but give it up once they know they’re with child.  Yeah, maybe that’s because they’re normal, Vandy.

Go Bobbie Soxer. Cybersecurity companies hoping women are able to help fill a large number of the 1.8 million jobs they’re expecting. Because diversity is more important than competence.

Vaya Con Dios, Dominican Republic.  The US is moving on to the semifinals of the WBC after eliminating our Caribbean friends.

Have a great day everybody. Try not to play with your ding-a-ling all day.

Here we go.  Final two minutes of the Wisconsin-Villanova game and I’m doing links.  That’s how dedicated I am to you people.

Trump reminds Germany of their NATO funding obligations.  Hey look, I am not a huge fan of big military spending, but if you sign a treaty you ought to honor the terms.

Democrats are struggling in their efforts to whip up opposition to Neil Gorsuch.  Maybe they realize how hypocritical they’ll look when its pointed out that every Senator currently in office that was there for his last confirmation voted to confirm him.

Lamborghini ( or Lambourghini to Canadians) releases a four door car. WTF?

Touching story about a 96 year old woman that gets to see her son’s conviction overturned after he spent 32 years in prison.

Howard Schultz is stepping away from Starbucks. Rumor has it he’s priming the pump for a political run.  Which would be odd since profs tend to despise people that run businesses and then step into the political arena at a later age.  Unless, you know, they’re hypocrites.

And that basketball game is now over.  And Wisconsin managed to gut out a win and eliminate the first #1 seed and defending champ all in the same game.  Wisconsin should have been a lot higher seed than they were.

Enjoy the rest of the games or whatever else you’re doing.  Also, this song is apt today.

Welp, I Brett’d the whole links turning them Green. Post your best link in the comments.

UPDATE: Links work, but I’m apparently banned from doing the links while “drunk” or “drinking” from now on. Look for the Monday PM Butt-chugging Links!

I hope everyone here has gotten an early start on Irish Cultural Appropriation. Or as alcoholics like to call it, “Amateur Night”.

• Now that the Russians have Trump in office, they don’t need a military deterrent.
• One of our own is probably in jail now after Michael Bay called out the police helicopters on an intruder. Or Shia LeBoeuf is trying to get a part in the new Transformers.
• PGA golfer handles alligator in true Florida Man fashion. “Go on, noaw. Git!”
• The Secret Service “lost” a laptop with Clinton email investigation files. I guess the owner wasn’t suicidal after all.
• Someone needs to teach this chimp to sing. We really are living in Heinlein’s Crazy Years.

If we’re doing quintessential Irish Songs, here’s my entry.

Happy St Patrick’s Day dear friends.  Let’s all see how far into the day we get before we pass out drunk.  Oh, what’s that…St Paddy’s is for amateurs?  Well then, I guess I’ll drink all of these Shiner Bocks myself.  But first, the links.

?One positive result of Trump’s proposed budget would be a quarter of a billion dollars less a year wasted on California’s failing education system.  Perhaps they could take that money from the state taxes they are proposing to not collect from teachers and throw it into that gigantic waste of money.

?Another positive result of Trump’s proposed budget would be a lot of butthurt at the United Nations. Fine by me.  Maybe we’ll start pissing more away on them when they remove despotic shitholes from the Human Rights Commission.

? A great big negative result of Trump’s proposed budget would be billions of dollars on his wasteful border wall.

?Hey asshole, what part of “freedom of speech” don’t you understand?  This is the kind of politician that has never been in the private sector and neither has his brother or his father, by the way.  Somebody go out and get some tar, feathers and a rail.  I’ll find an angry mob.

?The Mayo Clinic will give a preference to privately insured patients over those on Medicaid and Medicare.  Gee, maybe they like to be paid on time and at a rate which allows them to provide a return commensurate with their level of service and which will aid their research.

?Those potato-eaters sure must have a lot of money at their disposal.  What other way to explain them throwing $110,000,000 on the HP campus in Boise and moving their offices there?  I guess they’ll finally be able to stop working from libraries, Starbucks’s and anywhere else that has free WiFi and doesn’t cost anything.

?And to get your St Paddy’s started right, here’s some straight up, legit Irish music for you.

Have a wonderful day getting drunk.  I know that’s my plan for later.
