EVERYBODY IN THE POOL! March Madness has officially taken over our workplace. Most of the bureau is involved in a pool and it's totally crazy. I had a meeting earlier today and had people blackberry me scores. And my wife doesn't know it yet, but I plan on watching basketball tonight, too!

Two other funny things today:

1) Former porn star and GOP (yes, GOP) California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey stopping by the bureau today for an on-camera interview. She's in town for President Bush's big fundraiser tonight for the National Republican Congressional Committee. (Look, I wouldn't book her, so don't even start with me.) Word is Ms. Carey did NOT have any underwear on....this according to our studio crew. As I say...Klassy with "K." (Guess we couldn't get Jessica Simpson who was in town today to promote her fave charity "Operation Smile.")



2) I've been inundated recently with crazy spam emails on my work account. It's been the usual suspects: offers for various medications delivered to my home, products that can enlarge my penis (thanks), and then the various international offers from weird businessmen. This is the opening paragraph from a spam mail I got today: "Dear friend,I got your address from the personality search with the Ghana chamber of commerce and i which to solicite your cooperation for this business of great magnitude however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will." Well, THAT'S good to know. And how fun that I'm listed in Ghana's Chamber of Commerce!
