On the Road
Well for those of you who weren't aware, I depart this afternoon from a train station in Waterloo, IN for Washington, D.C. There I'll be helping chaperone the youth of my alma matter during the annual National Schoolastic Press Association Convention.
Needless to say, the blogging may be a little dry until I return Monday Morning. I'll do my best to at least update how we're doing out there... it could be interesting.
In the meanwhile, be sure to flip on your tv on Thursday afternoon around 4:30 EST to catch me in the audience of CNN's Crossfire.
God willing, I'm going to own Tucker Carlson's bowtie.
Metallica Album Sales a 'Bummer' -Hetfield :
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. sales of Metallica's latest album, which fell off the pop charts earlier this month, are a 'bummer,' according to the veteran rock group's singer, James Hetfield.
But the band is not giving up on its U.S. fans, and plans to launch a six-month tour of indoor arenas on March 2, it announced backstage at the American Music Awards on Sunday.
The band went on to blame P2P sharing, neglecting the fact that their records may, indeed, suck ass.

Colorado Studying Eliminating 12th Grade
DENVER - High school without seniors? Colorado lawmakers have asked education officials to study the possibility of eliminating the 12th grade and establishing a year of preschool instead. They said it would better prepare students for college by giving them an early start and possibly save money.
No senior prom?
That means cutting the birth rate by half!
Then we won't have kids to put INTO this preschool....
shame.

Large groups of screaming women passing dildos between their legs may sound like a scene straight out of a porno movie, but it is actually a sight that is becoming more and more common in suburban homes nationwide. While mothers and grandmothers had Tupperware and Mary Kay parties, sex-toy parties are the growing fad of the millennium, and the latest crop of 20-somethings booking them are not afraid to admit it.
The basic idea behind these so-called "pleasure parties" is the same as a Tupperware or Mary Kay party of old; a saleswoman comes to someone's home and presents and demonstrates merchandise to a group of friends, which is then available for purchase after the party. The difference here is that instead of lipsticks and nail polish, pleasure parties present women with a wide variety of sex toys, which even include discreet vibrators disguised to look like lipstick and nail-polish bottles.
Sex-toy parties the new trend
"Sunday Sunday Sunday..."
Tongues wag at gay kiss
Two Maryland high school girls who locked lips in school to protest homophobia are paying a big price: two-day suspensions.
Haaser's English teacher had asked his students to perform a "nonconformist act" as part of a section on Transcendentalist authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Senior Katherine Pecore and junior
Most students opted for little indiscretions - eating cereal at lunch, for example, or calling teachers by their first names. But Haaser, 17, cooked up something bigger.
The two girls climbed on top of a lunch table and shouted, "End homophobia now!" Then the girls, both of whom describe themselves as heterosexual, made out. Estimates for the length of the kiss range from 10 to 15 seconds.
"It was full on," one girl said. "It was intense."
Never in my high school.... grrrr.
Waiter, there's a condom in my soup
A California woman who found a condom in her bowl of clam chowder has sued the upscale restaurant that served it to her -- saying she has suffered depression and anxiety from the shocking discovery.
But an attorney for McCormick & Schmicks Seafood Restaurant in Irvine, California, says the eatery has no idea how the condom got into Laila Sultan's food.
Depression and anxiety?
It's probably the most action she's gotten lately!
