"I never want to hear about 'The Pet Goat' again"

Fritzworth at AoS wins the headline o' the day in a landslide: "The world is going to hell in a handbasket, and Obama tapes himself picking his NCAA bracket..."

Wow:

Dangerous levels of radiation leaking from a crippled nuclear plant forced Japan to order 140,000 people to seal themselves indoors Tuesday after an explosion and a fire dramatically escalated the crisis spawned ... by Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami that is believed to have killed more than 10,000 people, plunged millions into misery and pummeled the world’s third-largest economy.

Via Mike Allen’s newsletter, we see in the first line how the leader of the free world will spend his day during this awful crisis:

President Obama is taping his NCAA picks today, and they’ll be revealed tomorrow on ESPN.

[And of] course he’s taking an easy schedule today; he was working hard last night:

President Obama makes his first major fund-raising pitch for his 2012 re-election on Monday night when he meets with about 50 backers—some involved in his 2008 campaign and others who are considered potential major supporters.

After this, any liberal nutjob who mentions The Pet Goat is going to deserve the metaphorical beat-down they receive.
