FOR OUR NEIGHBOURS TO THE NORTH AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL READERS: If you're not seeing or able to post comments here, Google explains why, and how to fix it. [HT: Randy.]

EPH YOU: Other than the New York Yankees, is there a team that makes more Americans happy to see lose than the Duke Blue Devils?

FIRST TIPOFF WAS THAT "JUKT MICRONICS" WAS LISTED AS A SUPPLIER: Mike Daisey is an incredibly popular monologist, whose most recent one-man show--The Agony and the Ecstacy of Steve Jobs--dealt with both his love of Apple products and his visits to China to see where many Apple products are made and his claims of outrages perpetrated by Apple against its workers there. Daisey's monologue was heavily excerpted in and served as the basis for a very popular episode of This American Life earlier this year. After further fact-checking and review, TAL has issued a lengthy retraction/apology and will devote this week's entire episode to detailing the errors and explaining how they were misled. Interestingly, Daisey has issued a statement saying he "stand[s] by his work" despite admitting that he "uses a combination of fact, memoir and dramatic license" in it.

ETA: Both the audio stream and the transcript are now available, and man, even in Ira Glass' typically soothing voice, it's pretty damn brutal.

GOTTA SET IT STRAIGHT, THIS WATERGATE: Some enterprising soul has cut All The President's Men into a music video for the Beastie Boys' Sabotage, which is well worth your time.

ETA: Neglected to provide attribution to Evan McMorris-Santoro of Talking Points Memo for the pointer.

THAT'S MY FAMILY, KAY. THAT'S NOT ME:  Forty years ago this weekend, Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather opened in five New York City theaters.

THAT OTHER SPORT: As you may recall from last year, due to the large volume of interest we have split into two rotisserie baseball leagues -- ALOTT5MA Premier League and ALOTT5MAAAAball. Each year, the top four teams from AAA ball get moved up to the Premiership, and the bottom four from the Premiership are relegated down.

Due to certain owners opting not to return, there are 3-5 slots available in the AAA Division, our entry-level league.  Prior experience is not required, but certainly is welcome.  The draft is scheduled for next Thursday, March 22, at 8:30pm EDT.  If you're interested, let us know, here, now, and we will arbitrarily figure out how to handle it.

ANURA OLMSTEADIUM: There's a new frog in town. And it needs a name.
