Pick On Someone Your Own Size
Liggett's actions last week were reprehensible. The school thumbed its nose at the entire Clawson community, not just the 24 players and their coaches. At the very least, Liggett officials owe the Clawson school district a big fat check for the revenue it lost in not having a home game. At some schools, that can be several thousand dollars. But this is about more than just money ... This is simply the arrogance of people running a school where juniors and seniors pay $17,000 in tuition and they think they are a little more special than everyone else.
You can read the full article HERE.
Yowch! You just knew they were going to say something about money. I feel bad for the kids, they don't deserve to get yelled at in a major newspaper but I love that the administration is completely livid over this whole thing.
It's a circus, y'all ... and all this hoopla is over football -- we have always sucked at football! But hey, we've got a wicked golf team.

SMILE! (Like You Mean It)
OMG! I'm so excited. Head over to the site to see who the players are this time -- but I'll let you know now, both Veronica and Katie are back for more! Wee!!! It debuts October 11th at 10pm.
And now, today's goss:
- Autopsy reports are oftentimes very shocking. This one, not so much; Rick James' death was probably due to the 9 different drugs that were found in his system. The report said: "None of the drugs or drug combinations were found to be at levels that were life-threatening in and of themselves." The singer's family attributed his death to natural causes, and the coroner said the cause was a heart attack and ruled the death as accidental. Accidental? Okay ...
- Nicole Richie has come out with her own line of clothing -- it's called That's Hot, naturally.
- Is she or isn't she? Avril was seen canoodling with the lead singer from Hoobasucks at the World Music Awards. Since Deryk is denying their engagement maybe he's trying to get back at him or something? God, all of this stuff is soooo juvenile.
- A woman who lost her son in Iraq was arrested for heckling Laura Bush at a campaign rally that she had a ticket for. HAMILTON, New Jersey (CNN) -- The mother of a soldier killed in Iraq was arrested Thursday after interrupting a campaign speech by first lady Laura Bush. As police hauled her away, she shouted, "Police brutality."
Wearing a T-shirt with the message "President Bush You Killed My Son," Sue Niederer of nearby Hopewell screamed questions at the first lady ... This is so horrible. If GWB is reelected then it is likely that more mothers are going to lose their sons and daughters. GWB must be ousted!!!
Now, hopefully, I will be able to take more professional-looking photographs at concerts and stuff. I did a lot of reading on this camera and there wasn't a single negative review that I could find. I also ordered a big memory card for it (unfortunately, it uses an SD card so I can't use my 1Gb Compact Flash card for it) and had them both overnight delivered. They should arrive at my house by noon.
Woo!
I have to work on my lecture for today so I'll probably be pretty busy today. I'll post more if the need arises.
