Old Man Cries, Nobody Listens

Using the age old excuse of "But mom! Evvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeerrrrrrryyyybody's doing it!"

"Life goes on," Bowden said. "We're not the only university that had something like this happen. It will happen again next year and the next year and the next year. Life will go on, you correct it and go to work."

This next part is just sad.

"Meanwhile, Bobby is hatching one final trick play. This one involves digging up what he says are 22 victories earned while he was coach at South Georgia Junior College from 1956-58. Asterisk that, NCAA.

"I've got to get put in the grave here one of these days ... " Bowden said. "It don't count to them. It does to me.""

There's No Value in This

At no price would I consider two seasons of "Reba" on DVD any sort of value.

Hell, I Thought it Was a Fan

Apparently now it's an "Air Circulator"

What should I do with my fan now that it's outdated?

The "New" Neyland Stadium. I like it, but it just doesn't look right.

For Once, I'm Going to Agree With Ukraine

They say that Bruno is immoral. I was thoroughly entertained by it, but I still have to agree:

What kills me is some of my fellow Tennessee fans making asses of themselves in the comments. Shit, don't take yourself so seriously.

Deadspin Hates Pixar

What's Wrong With America

Over the last few months, these people have started popping up all over Knoxville. They protest various labor-related disputes. They're set up on Middlebrook to protest a subcontractor that worked on KOC's new clinic. They've set up in front of a couple of Food City stores because their employees voted against unionizing. These guys are set up near a construction site in Bearden.

The right to protest is one of the things that makes America great. But these people are dead wrong. They are, in fact, protetsting the fact that, in this down economy, people are actually taking jobs and going to them every day, earning an honest living. They're mad the union isn't getting a cut.

So how do they protest? In lawn chairs with umbrellas and coolers. That's what makes me the most angry. Instead of going to real jobs and earning an honest living, these people are being paid to work on their tans next to a large sign.

They aren't hurting for cash either. The vehicle they were "working" out of appeared to be a very nice new truck. I ran the plates, and in fact it is a new truck that they paid over $30k for just a few months ago. Must be a nice job.

Check out any of their "protest" signs. They're sitting in lawn chairs just hanging out all day. The most "work" the guy pictured heredid on Friday was demanding that I delete the pictures I took of him.

See? Even he's embarassed by what he's doing. He should be. Forget Merit Construction, Shame on Him.

Not so funny now, is it Augustus

Mr. Wonka told you to stay out of there...

You Can Do Anything if You Were Mayor of D.C.

Let's see, Marion Berry has (in order):

- Been elected mayor of DC

- Been caught on video smoking crack.

- Been re-elected mayor of DC

- Been arrested for possession of pot and cocaine

- Been elected to the DC Council

- Been put on probation for failing to pay taxes for "several years"

- Been re-elected to the DC Council

Now he's been arrested again, this time for stalking. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/07/05/marion.barry.arrested/index.html Based on past events, he's a year away from being elected to something major.
