First – he goes to the so-called lion’s den and schools the GOP brain trust at their annual retreat (well done Mr. President).

Then he attends the Georgetown-Duke game and shares his b-ball chops with the world (in case you were wondering if he was for real on that front).

I do wish that he would give women’s b-ball a little more time.  Hopefully this year he’ll do BOTH brackets!

I did find this site with lots of good ideas for reducing your carbon footprint.

Did you know that the energy used to produce, deliver and dispose of junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 2.8 million cars?!
