Best. Bracket. Ever.
Way to much time on your hand Mr Soto? Wake me up when we get to the finals
Well done, Mr. Soto. Well done.
Wow, what a post! But I’d take Continetti over Megatron.
Please. Megatron would melt Continetti’s face.
DefCon is my choice for the final winner.
Such post. Very amaze. Wow.
Jimmy Caan by only seven? You’re forgetting the patented Trash Can Lid Maneuver.
And LibertyCon’s got no ground game. Chaka is gonna leave cleat marks up his front and down his back.
I’m siding with the ExCons due to their affinity with my Twitter handle.
At last, finally the true conservatives will be determined! Let the games begin.
My money is on BaCon, still Wrath of Khan might yet perform an upset before we reach the finals.
Continetti is Italian, Megatron is not. Case closed.
Thus Spake Garathustra.
So nice I’m using it twice:
Yeah Doug, we all know how EmotiCon has done all this past season, starting out all smiles but then just getting rude as the season went on. I’m surprised they even made it this far, especially after it was discovered that PacMan was ineligible to play, having played professionally some years before in the arcade leagues.

Then there the allegations of blowing raspberries at the refs during game play, leering and unsportsman like conduct towards the cheerleaders,
and the just plain sour reputation they’ve earned this year.
Still, it’s anyone’s game, and some of baCon’s star players are starting to look a little out of shape.
Frank, you have outdone everyone.
You have to watch out for Chaka Khan. Her cameo in the Blues Bros could signal she’s secretly packing SoCon ability undercover on a mission from God.
Shere Khan is sure to use his charm to corrupt some SoCons without some Divine intervention.
My money’s on Madeline Kahn. I’d get behind her any day of the week.
Ack! I’m completely torn between virtue and bacon.
Another reason conservatism is vastly superior to progressivism or liberalism–try to do this with words that end in prog or lib.
Oh come on, baCon wins walking away, especially on this side of the political spectrum. Anyone who says they prefer anything to baCon is either a liar, a hippie, or an inorganic life form. Period.
Mr. Soto, You’ve made my morning. Thinking of having my own battle with BaCon shortly.
Maybe we need to have an intervention.
Also: How is there not a giraffe joke? #sadness
Or an observant Jew.
Next election we’ll see what happens when the offspring of SoCon and BaCon gets in the fray.

Clearly you need a new hybrid category: Virtue Bacon
Any truth to the rumor that the Final Four will be held in EsCondido, California?
Why no spot for Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon? I call for a congressional investigation.
As to my pick: anyone but Pat Buchanan.
