ESPN and ESPN2 and ESPN

I've been reading a book that a friend told me about called "Open Veins of Latin America". It's a pretty heavy book that so far has done quite a bit of bashing on Capitalism and what it has done to Latin America (Matheo, you would love this book). Some of the stuff is really good, and some a little off base, but for the most part it gives a pretty accurate history. The rich and the powerful feed on the poor and powerless, it's the basic story of life for much of the world. I saw a demotivational poster for sale that said it quite well

in case you can't read it, it says "A company that will go to the ends of the earth for its people will find it can hire them for about 10% of the cost of Americans"

As for me, other than reading and sleeping, I've been watching a lot of ESPN. In the morning I wake up and watch SportsCenter on ESPN. After SportsCenter, I might watch it again, or I might change the channel to ESPN2. Either way, I watch more sports. After that I watch Pardon the Interruption on ESPN, and then flip back to ESPN2 to make sure I'm not missing anything. If I have any energy left after all that, I may or may not watch College Gameday on ESPN. Then I sleep. Then I eat. Then I check to see if my eyes are white yet, which they never are. But they are more white, which is always encouraging.

By the way, to all my students, the Final Four is a little whacky this year. I told you that usually 2 number "1" seeds make it to the Final Four, which is usually true....but not this year. I suggest getting together on Saturday and rooting for George Mason, the team that shouldn't be there. And the Illini got screwed, they should totally be in the final four, just in case you didn't know....
