Double Standards
The Effingham County School Board doesnt want to give a student credit for her work. This young lady is in the school's work program, but because she is a hostess for Hooters, the school board doesnt want to give the credit.

The standard for the work program is for a student to get a job in the retail or service industry. Just because the board doesnt like the company shouldnt matter.

What kind of example are these people showing?! The girl is actually willing to work..! Her parents are supporting her for work..!

Kind of ironic that the Board Superintendent, Michael Moore, has a daughter that has a job within the school system although she doesnt meet the qualifications. The job required that the employee had 3 years experience within the school system. Moore's daughter only had 2 years experience.

File Under Stupid Lawsuits
1. Someone is actually sueing over the Janet Jackson breast fiasco. Apparently, its too hard for people to actually change the channel or even, God forbid, turn the damn tv off. You want pain in suffering? Think about how your tax dollars are being wasted on this mess because it had to be filed in federal court.

2. A federal judge rules that former Ohio State running back, Maurice Clarett, should be allowed into the NFL draft even though Clarett doesnt meet the eligibilty requirements. The judge believes that the rule that a player must be out of high school for at least three years before they can play causes a monopoly for the NFL. Apparently, the judge believes that Clarett is incapable to playing another college, finish college, play for the Arena Football League, or play for the Canadian Football League.

Even if Clarett is considered eligible, would any team want a whiny crybaby who got caught breaking the rules that got him kicked out of college?! Oh wait... Lavernues Coles plays for the Washington Redskins. Nevermind...

Out in The Yard
ESPN cancels Playmakers after the first season. Apparently the show was abit too realistic. Football players taking drugs, beating their wives, and carrying handguns?! Say it isnt so!

Boy survives 15 story jump to avoid being teased about losing to video game. Geez, wonder what would have happened if he was called a wuss.

Background Noise
Champagne Supernova by Oasis

Slowly walking down the hall,
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you
While we were getting high?
Someday you will find me,
Caught beneatth a landslide
In a chapagne supernova
In the sky
