Editor Humor

My job suddenly seems so much more bearable. At least I don't have to edit Palin's speeches.

Scandalous!

The Illinois state university system is in the grips of a scandal over students being allowed to attend state universities even though they are under-qualified.

The investigation has found that the under-qualified students are white and bad at sports.

In A Handbasket

I couldn't help it. When they said Michael Jackson had "touched many people", I laughed.

The Bells

I stopped at the store to grab a few things on my way to work, and I passed a display of six packs on sale. "Hm," I thought to myself, "Oberon is on sale. I'll have to pick some up later."

I have got to get out of the house more often.

This is not going to become a collection of YouTube videos, I promise. We're swamped and getting ready to move to a new building. Hopefully, sometime in the next week or two, things will return to a semblance of normalcy. In the meantime, expect more of these cheap and easy posts.

CP, you're still blocked. I think our firewall relies on a list, not on actual content, so until you get cleared from the list, I'm stuck.

Flan, you're so near and yet so far. Unfortunately, between work and volunteer stuff, I don't think I'm going to be able to make the trip to Chicago while you're in town. Sorry!
