Then Versus Now

1938 Original Version
Father O'Malley (think: Bing Crosby) has heard some disturbing news. He's been informed that two of his charges at Boys Town High, nominally friends, have gotten into a fight in the boy's bathroom. Additionally, these budding hooligans are rumored to be in possession of pornographic comic books (called "Tiajuana Bibles). Father O'Malley has had enough. He marches these two miscreants down to the gym and has them lace up the old boxing gloves. He gives them a quick 2 minute rundown on the Marquis of Queensbury rules and nods approvingly as the two toughs proceed to pound the Holy Hell out of each other for the next 20 minutes, channelling their aggression in a controlled environment. The boys, having a positive male role model and seeing the error of their ways, clean up their act and go on to become responsible citizens in the community.

Sandy Creek in for a battle tonight

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:27:28 -0500

Sandy Creek vs. Chamblee tonight is going to be a battle.

Chamblee has one of the best defenses in the state, allowing a little over 7 points a game (they have 5 shutouts). They were the preseason number 7 pick in the state, but stumbled badly this year because of their offense.

Sniffles on the Presidential Election

Last night was an interesting evening, wasn't it?

It was a great night if you were a Democrat, a not-so-great night if you were a Republican.

Yes We Can!

My snifflespawn just told me of a brief lockdown at McIntosh High school today, due to a mentally unstable person on the loose?

Why Obama Will Make An Excellent Commander-in-Chief

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:15:28 -0400

There was a fascinating article in Time magazine last week that left me more convinced than ever that, if elected, Barack Obama will make an excellent Commander-in-Chief.

Like, Socialism...

Interesting read in the New Yorker this morning: LIKE, SOCIALISM which chronicles the current attempts of the McCain Bigot Brigade to paint Obama as a "socialist".

Sarah Palin pulls a FCBOE stunt

Open Records requests for the contents of her email account?

Great job, FCBOE!

The minutes for the 10/13/08 Fayette Board of Education are up for public viewing.

Too bad the file is empty.

Prepared speeches vs. off-the-cuff

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:36:41 -0400

There's been a number of dyspeptic posts made on the Citizen blogs about Barack Obama's non-prepared speech rhetoric. On a scale of one to ten (ten high), Obama's prepared speeches often hit the 9+ mark, he's that good. His extemporaneous speaking skills are not as high, maybe in the 6 or 7 range. Obama has a choppy cadence in off-the-cuff.

AJC rails against Smola/Smith state constitutional amendment

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:03:33 -0400

The officers of the Smola/Smith/Wright Development company (doing business as "The Fayette County Board of Education") were undoubtedly aghast to see an editorial in today's AJC criticizing their most cherished dream.

"Frail old man runs from African American asking for change."

The above line was hands down the best summation of the events of the previous 24 hours.
