I hate writing papers. At least ones like that. The one I just cranked out was on slavery, fine, except for the fact that I had better stick to the company line 100%.

Basically, for the uninitiated, this is a bunch of blogs that I like and that I have similar views as attempting to crush leftist-pig Glenn Reynolds as the most-read blog on the web. Plus, It'll get me hits.

Today is a very special day. Today is Awards Day. I am giving out my very own awards; some positive, some negative. You get to guess which.

First things first, I am all for bombing the Mayor's residence in London. Did you hear what he said? He declared President Bush the greatest threat to life on this planet we've ever seen.

I have to do this, you see, because the network for my entire campus went down hard last night and still hasn't gotten up. This sucks.

And, for the record, I am still batting 1.000 with the cheerleader NFL picks. Including the Cincinnati Ben-Gal that I posted early this week.

Details when I wake up. Also, has anybody noticed that when I pick an NFL cheerleader for Babe of the Day, that team wins it's next game?

Baseball might just save itself yet. Now that drug testing is mandatory, there won't be any more speculation about tainted records, and no one can cheapen a breakout season. Combine that with the once-in-a-lifetime October the sport had and we may be on to something. While I am at it, anybody else think Bud Selig should start taking bows now?

Today will be a quiet day because I want to use my usual outspokenness to draw attention to a University that does not give current active duty personnel the day off when they aren't being paid to be here.

Do I watch MASH, study, or blog?
