Only really because I can get 3rd place in the office pool. After 5 years, it’s about time I won something! Plus, as a bonus, I really can’t stand Memphis, Calipari in particular. Why? I don’t have a good explanation. It’s not quite John Chaney-level hate, but close.
Once again, the PA Supreme Court shows why judges should be appointed and not elected. Once again, they have supported the casinos in their efforts to ram gambling down our throats. See the opinion (a PDF).
My “favorite” portion is: “On May 30, 2007, after PEDP spent months working with the City to craft a plan of development that addressed issues of concern to the City and to residents living near the Foxwoods site …” Silly me, I must not have been informed about those meetings. Living about 500 feet from where Foxwoods wants to go, I’m a bit interested. But, wait. The meetings were with the hopelessly corrupt but never indicted Street administration. Never mind.
This is not over.
Normally, I’m perfectly OK with the occasional corny April Fools’ joke, prank, etc. It’s to be expected. Though I do expect some originality/creativity. At least I’ll give credit for a good attempt, but weak execution. I came across the lamest attempt at humor today, via CNET (not exactly known as a bastion of mirth). Not only did this “farce” suck, they had to include a disclaimer at the bottom (”Editor’s note: Remember, today is April 1, a day reserved in the U.S. for some levity.“; their emphasis and link.) You know, it’s not really a joke if you have to explain it.
