Watch CBS Videos Online The snippets of Katie Couric’s interview with Li’l Wayne are quite interesting. I’m not sure what’s up with his teefis, but the fact that he calls her “Miss Katie” is almost endearing. One day, I’ll hafta figure out where Wayne fits in the modern-day pantheon. I wouldn’t classify him as being [...]
Northeast Wins Public League Wrestling Title After years and years of being on the cusp, my high school has finally gotten over the hump and won the Public League championship. Now we’ll hafta see if they can beat the Catholic League champion and own PA District 12 outright. Congrats, Vikes.
ESPN reflects on the Terrible Towel. Among the things that has the Stillers trying so hard to take me from the Iggles is the Terrible Towel. There is simply nothing like it in sports. It’s all in the article, but I’m tellin you what I know first-hand. Steelers fans? Terrible Towels. You go to the [...]
(This is not a post about the politics of education, although politics plays a part. It’s not about how people’s poor habits hamper their educational aspirations, but that’s a part of it, too.

To get back to the whole idea of President Obama as the first of the political celebrities (well, he’s probably not the first, but I think that political celebrity is gonna take on a whole new level during his tenure in office), it doesn’t stop with him. Sasha and Malia dolls, though? For real? As [...]

I went for Obama. Let’s get that out of the way first. Secondly, let’s establish that I am going downtown for the festivities. No question about it. But in the midst of all that, let me just say that I’m thoroughly dismayed by what’s going on. I mean, I understand why he wants an open [...]
Sooo the Eagles came up short. Again. Again. Again. Again. These are the times that try a fan’s allegiance.
