Hopefully you had a nice Easter weekend, or Passover weekend, or Final Four weekend … or if you were lucky, an iPad weekend.
As a staunch early-adopter, it surprises me to report that I do not (yet) have an iPad. Miracles do happen.

Obama Scores Big During the Final Four Telecast
President Obama played a game of H-O-R-S-E with former NBA star Clark Kellogg during the Final Four telecast yesterday. My expectations were low, and I expected it to be corny.
Unlike the North Korean Supreme Leader's penchant for hitting fictional hole-in-one shots on the golf course, Obama started slow and was willing to show some weakness. Nonetheless, throughout the video, he seemed confident and athletic. Moreover, the bantering and interplay seemed to provide some insights into the President's psyche.
All-in-all, I thought it was a good move by him … and that it did a nice job of polishing-up his image and reminding people why he is so popular.
Here's the video from CBS sports.
As you may know, Obama is a lefty. When asked if he can you go to his right, Obama replies: "I can go to my right, but I prefer my left."
One more note, Obama's personal aide is Reggie Love, a former Duke basketball player.

The Egg Trick: TV From a Different Age
Here is a skit from Johnny Carson and Dom DeLuise. It's funny to see how talk shows have changed.
It is a different kind of clean … and a different kind of dirty.

One Small Step for the Saints, One Giant Leap for New Orleans
Mardi Gras does not officially start for another week … but the party has already started.
Watching with my son, I was amazed how many times he would tell me he wanted Doritos … right after seeing their ad.

An Even-Tempered Apology, SNL Skit
Andy Samberg channels White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, in this bleep-ridden skit. The premise is that the White House Chief of Staff offers his apologies for some recent comments.
It made me laugh out loud and wonder what politics would be like if people actually said what they were thinking.
Here is a link if you want to read a transcript.

Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night … in the Market
The length and staying power of the recent market rally says something about how crowds work, and why the majority of traders are often wrong at turning points in the market.
The following video makes the same point, a different way.This video was filmed during a live taping
of Oprah. It shows the Black-Eyed Peas,
performing "I Gotta Feeling". It starts with a lone dancer (and I suspect some of it was planned). Yet, it
is fascinating to watch what happens when other people feel the urge to
get in on the fun … and it doesn't take long until the animal spirits spread through the mob.Pretty cool …
Here is the original version of that music video.
