Well, I'm 12-4. My prediction that all No. 10 teams will beat all No. 7 teams looks pretty stupid now, with both No. 7s that played yesterday beating their opponents. Meanwhile, Duke somehow found a way to lose to Virginia Commonwealth, and George Washington went down to Vandy, rounding out my four incorrect picks. That last one was among my more delirious calls, but what the hell. You gotta make a few crazy ones.

Meanwhile, as I write this Valerie Plame is testifying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. It's worth noting that said committee is chaired by Henry Waxman of California, one of the Bush administration's most dogged critics.

He's also one of the prettiest congressmen

Meanwhile, also as I write this, "senior Republican Party officials" are meeting with Alberto Gonzales. No link on that, but take my word for it, ace. It's happening right now. I imagine the meeting includes phrases like "for the good of the party" and "spend some time with the family, Al." And I imagine Gonzales is sweating and smarming and squirming, looking all around for the bossman, George, the man whose coattails Gonzales has ridden throughout his professional career. But, sadly for Alberto, the boss is never around when the hit goes down.

A look inside Gonzales' meeting with GOP officials.
