Thursday's throwdowns

TODAY'S POLITICS UPDATE DEPT:
President Obama promised "openness"...but:
"Health care reform takes center stage Thursday as President Obama and top congressional Democrats work behind closed doors to nail down a final agreement."

Ooops! No C-Span around either, I bet...

In Elections 2010 news concerning the U.S. Senate, polls continue to show that Washington Democrat Patty Murray is in trouble.
NCAA HOOPS UPDATE:
I am proud of my Notre Fighting Irish men's hoops team. Last night they beat Seton Hall in the Big East tournament, 68-56. It was their fifth straight win; they're executing their patient offense very well, they're defending, they're rebounding (they out-rebounded the Hall, 40-30). I'm very glad they've hung in there, that they've found themselves and...oh, yes--Luke Harangody is back, healthy again, and had 20 points last night. It's fun to be an Irish hoops fan again...at least, for a day.

Oh, and speaking of basketball, the Dallas Mavericks have now won 13 straight games...
