PURSING EDUCATION OR NFL RICHES?

The story that closed the NFL draft was the Tennessee Titans selecting Florida State safety Myron Rolle in the sixth round as the 207^th overall pick.

Myron Rolle was slated to go in the first round of the 2009 draft. What caused him to drop so far? Was it talking to an agent while still a student? Did he suffer a potentially career ending injury while in school? Were there any negative character issues while he was at Tallahassee?

TAX DAY 2010

Before class on Thursday, I took a drive over to the Courthouse-on-the-Square.

Take a guess what I saw?

People going about their business on the Square in Denton, TX on a Thursday before noon.

I was also expecting the same with our campus Republicans when I drove by the University Union.

Nope, no one was outside the Union in the Free Speech area either. Students transiting to and from their classes. It is just what you would expect on a typical day at the University of North Texas.

Wait a minute…. This was NOT a typical day. It is April 15, Tax Day. Where are the Tea Baggers?! Where are their creative signs?

EVER SEEN A TWENTY DOLLAR BILL….. HIGH?

 
I am aware of what today is: April 20, AKA "420 Day".

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT

Saturday Night Live's recent musical guest: Ke$Ha. She performs this song. I've heard it in promos for NBC's game show Minute To Win It.

By the way, who the hell uses a symbol for their name?

The second musical performance….. Well, judge for yourself.

AND YET, ANOTHER, POLITICAL RANT

It's been a while since I posted a good rant. Here are some on some recent current events.

HEAVEN AND HELL

Came to me while watching a soccer game between teams from England and Germany. I remember hearing this joke as a kid.
