IDLE THOUGHTS (AGAIN)

Kentucky won. Bummer.

Angela Merkel won which I guess that means Germany won. Does it mean Sarkozy lost? The broad based feeling is that is the case.

Greece kinda won; at least they have a shot at raising enough money to get them through without calling upon the full EU who I guess will be there although the announcement was confusing to say the least. More importantly, they will keep the IMF away from the door. For now

Trichet hasn't lost...so far.

The Union is still together, for the time being at least, but there is a subtle undercurrent to all of this which, frankly, I missed: WW II is over, we won but Germany doesn't feel they owe anybody anything anymore. The position they took in this event would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. What does this mean going forward? Certainly something to give us pause...at least over the weekend. A page turner in history to say the least. On to the Final Four.

Have a good weekend.
