The Weekly DownLloyd: March Madness edition

As the producer of Mac & Gaydos, this is my own unique, weird, wacky, and at times, warped look at the week’s seven biggest stories.

The NCAA Basketball Tournament is here. It’s March Madness, a wonderful time of year — in fact it’s my favorite.

There’s more than just college hoops going on, though…

The latest on that missing Malaysia Airlines flight

For the third time in two weeks now search crews think they may have found some debris. This time it’s about 1,500 southwest of Perth, Australia.

Everyday this story changes with new twists and turns — whether it’s info about the pilots, theories about what happened to the plane or even possible tiffs between countries. I just hope we’re able to learn what happened on the flight fairly soon. The families of all those onboard deserve it.

Madness at McDonald’s

When a fast food place messes up your order and you pull a gun on them, that’s madness! What’s the deal, people? I get that this isn’t happening everyday, but honestly, we all make mistakes. The fine folks serving up your fast food have it rough enough. Do you really think they’re going to do any better if you threaten them? Doubtful.

Starbucks turns to booze

I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but I know Starbucks is known for their java. Know what they’re not known for? Alcohol. I can understand adding wine to their menu — that could be a big hit with the ladies and the sophisticated types who roll in there looking for a cup of joe — but who’s going to order a beer from Starbucks? Sometimes businesses and people just need to know when enough’s enough.
