You Can’t Hold Me Down!
2008-05-08 19:39:05
I was hacked yesterday and today in a deluge of spam links that halted my blog feeds as I scrambled through lines of PHP code to find the error. All is found and fixed, and I’m back on track, albeit a day or so behind. Wordpress bloggers: What do you use to safeguard your blog? [...]...
 
News Flash: Kids Ruin Your Marriage
2008-05-08 19:20:56
I think any parent can vouch for as much. I think Dana Carvey had it right. Parenthood is actually this evil little club, and once you get into the Parenthood Club, all you do is entice others to join in your misery by proclaiming what a pain-free joy children are. From Fox News: Marriage has been shown, [...]...

Wind Power Patronage Propels Penn to #1 in the U.S.
2008-05-03 15:25:20
Some early-afternoon alliteration in honor of my alma mater, which has just taken on an additional 80,000 megawatt hours per year for a grand total of 200,000 megawatt hours per year. Go Quakers!

Toyota Offers ‘Real-World’ Driver’s Ed
2008-05-03 14:19:41
This is a pretty good idea, especially considering how often young adults text or mess with MP3 players while they drive. I hope this takes off. From the New York Times: The Toyota Driving Expectations class includes drive time on three closed courses. The first two put kids behind the wheel so they can experience how [...]...
 
Amelia Rawls in WaPo: Ivy Leaguers are Mean
2008-05-03 13:51:08
 We sure are. Here’s a section from the Washington Post op-ed, with my pithy commentary interspersed: [...]But they are not always nice people. You know what I mean by “nice.” I mean the kind of “nice” that involves showing compassion not merely because membership in community service groups demands it. The kind of “nice” that involves sharing notes [...]...
 
College Student, 21, Killed After 911 Fails to Dispatch Police
2008-05-03 13:15:34
I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Wisconsin-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann had a gun the night she was robbed and then killed. Her 911 call did not result in local police being notified or even a callback from the dispatcher. This is completely unacceptable.  From Fox News: MADISON, Wis. —  A college student apparently called [...]...
 
Immigrant Arrested 128x, Gets Daily Ride Home from BP
2008-05-03 13:07:37
Tell me what other country in the world is so accommodating that it gives its multiple offenders rides back home across the border after they’ve been arrested, day after day, without prosecuting them. Then tell me again that the United States is a cold and heartless country, the bully and jock of the world. I had [...]...

Aliza Shvarts Submits Alternate Senior Project
2008-05-01 08:51:19
No word on what it was, at least not from the Daily News, but I’ll hazard a guess that it didn’t involve self-insemination: Aliza Shvarts ’08 has submitted another art piece in place of her controversial senior project that purportedly documented nine months of self-induced miscarriages, the University said this week.
