    Well-done piece and reminder of how much the tools of journalism have changed in 50 years — no more operators or phone calls to airlines to hold planes for reporters

    Good Michigan run

    John Beilein is just the latest great coach to run into the buzzsaw that is this Villanova team. This tournament really is something.

    We're done here. Have been for a while. Not a lot of drama in this Final Four, but credit Villanova for stomping two teams here.

    Watched both teams walk out of the tunnel onto the floor. Villanova peeled the paint off the walls. Michigan looked much more calm. John Beilein hung back, walked alone as usual. Reserved smile on his face. Ready to roll in San Antonio.

    . talking tariffs

    At the Anheuser-Busch factory in Jacksonville, discussing how an aluminum tariff will hurt businesses and consumers. Their factory produces 3.3 billion aluminum cans per year, a new tax adds up to real money that consumers pay!

    . asks about recall coverage

    Replying to @WSJ
    Tesla policy is to issue a recall *before* there are injuries. This is absolutely the right thing to do. Yet there were dozens of recalls by other car companies last month, incl w injuries & deaths, but you only wrote an article about Tesla. Why so?

    Quite an April Fool’s tweetstorm

    Elon was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by "Teslaquilla" bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks. This is not a forward-looking statement, because, obviously, what's the point? Happy New Month!

    Exhibit 100 in why sports betting is a fool’s errand

    My 5-year-old picked the final 2 correctly and is in the 99.8th percentile of the ESPN bracket contest. Would be doing even better if he hadn’t picked Butler to make the Sweet 16 purely because he liked that it sounded like Butt-ler.
