From North Georgia College and State University Student Affairs:
It has been brought to our attention that snow has been forecast for Friday morning, the first day of final examinations. Should it become necessary to close the university for part or all of that day, the following procedures will apply:
1. Any examinations scheduled for [...]
In reference to the post that started the deluge of comments below, my polemic idol, Christopher Hitchens, has posted a relevant article:
Cindy Sheehan’s Sinister Piffle
My good friend Dennis of Dennis’ Ramblings has been kind enough to re-post my words about Cindy Sheehan (see post below). This has resulted in a few comments, which I will respond to here. To see the original post and comments, click here.
To Anonymous #1:
When my ideological adversaries start calling me names, I know immediately [...]
One of my favorite talk show hosts, Neal Boortz, has recently begun promoting The Fair Tax Book, which he penned with Congressman John Linder.
It’s #1 on the New York Times’ Best Seller List.
My copy is on its way, so I don’t yet have any insights on the book itself, but the idea is phenomenal. I’m [...]
According to Cindy Sheehan, “You don’t use our country’s precious sons and daughters unless it’s absolutely necessary to defend America.”
You don’t? I suppose, then, that we should look at the sacrifices made by veterans of WWII’s European Theater (a group that, incidentally, includes both my grandfathers) with some sense of disgust. It was, after all, [...]
Once again, things may get a bit hairy around here as I upgrade to WordPress (sorry, MovableType - you’ve been great, but php and no rebuilding is too cool to pass up).
Most importantly, I’ve hired the Roark of the Web to design the site. Yes, I know…. I try to design sites myself every now [...]
After much congressional wailing and gnashing of teeth, John Bolton has finally been crowned America’s ambassador to the United Nations.
Ironically, my favorite example of why Bolton is deserving of his new title comes to us courtsey of Michael Moore.
Check it out.
Against my better judgment, I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Jane Fonda that aired last night. Those of you who know me or read this space with regularity know that I’m still wondering why she wasn’t arrested and tried for treason after her little amble through North Vietnam. I’ve even entertained the idea of [...]
As stated quite eloquently by the great philosopher and songwriter Tom Lehrer, “The Protestants hate the Catholics, and the Catholics hate the Protestants, and the Hindus hate the Muslims, and everybody hates the Jews” (for added effect, sing in a lively, happy melody).
Yes, it’s funny. But it would be a lot funnier if it weren’t [...]
STS-114 is well underway, and things seem to be going smoothly (typed to the accompaniment of a smart rapping on my cheap wooden desk). Thanks to NASA’s TV feed, just moments ago, I heard the crew waking up to a rousing remdition of Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe.”
Hey, just because you’re wizzing around [...]
