For the first time, Penn State players have their name stitched on the backs of their jerseys. After yesterday's loss to Ohio University (that's not Ohio State University) of the Mid American Conference, the players may want to take their identifying numbers off.

The UGA STAFF needs to have a discussion with the TV announcers. When Malcome made his first run, the announcers started comparing the difference of his style vs Crow-well. This will be the only mention of him this year by me, and it should be the LAST time TV announcers do also.

On ESPN Game Day highlighting the Bama-Mich game, some sicko held up a sign, "Bama - 1, Tree - 0". Bet he doesn't bring that to Toomer's Corner.

Remember when I reported that www.barackobama.com e-mailed me to tell me this may be the last time I hear from him? Well, King Arpege has broken ANOTHER promise.. I've received 6 more in the last two days.

One of the true purposes of college/university life is to expose students to situations that will face them in real life once they leave their campus. Obviously, this is not true on at least 40 plus college campuses Instead of allowing students to grow, define themselves, to accept other people for who they are, and tolerate, even celebrate their differences, these 40+ college campuses have shut down Chick-fil-A operations. Instead of letting students decide for themselves whether to be tolerant of all, the 40+ college campuses have made the decision to throw the 'homosexual trump card' into the mix. Instead of developing students' minds to think, these colleges have truly snuffed the light of truth, the quest for learning, and the journey of education. My children will not be on any such campuses.

In a nutshell, these, and probably more in the next few weeks, colleges allow cigarettes to be sold in college student centers, wink an eye at alcohol, recreational drug use, and promiscuity, yet decide students can't decide whether to support Chick-fil-A or their Constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech.

No one truly appreciates anything they are given for free. Whether it be entitlements, education, healthcare, or freedom, unless you understand the source of such, unless you understand the cost of such, you'll only want more but will not know how to provide these things for either yourself or others.

Rode by the new Carver High School this past week. It's truly a great looking facility. Lets hope the MCSD will re-define its budget to include a maintenance budget that will insure that the new Carver will last longer than the old one.

L-E headline: "Dalton, nation's 'carpet capital', struggles to recover * Dalton has lost more jobs per capita than any other U.S. city". -- Forget any government generated facts or reports on how the housing industry is doing. The only indicators worth following are the carpet industry, and when you become concerned, again, about how many "semi's" blow by you on the interstate highways hurrying to their destinations.

L-E story: "Tuscaloosa, Ala. -- State Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan wants the Justice Department to investigate possible irregularities in Uniontown. * More people are registered to vote than live in the town" -- Two things will become evident: 1- the Superintendent of Elections is a Democrat, and the DOJ will not suggest that photo IDs would stop this problem.

---

L-E headline: "Dems hope to reignite 2008's enthusiasm when selling vision" -- It's gonna be a tough job trying to reignite the flame when they are trying to light the fire with wind-generated power... their hot-air wind keeps blowing out the flames.

Rodney Mahone says that without the L-E, "it's likely you'd never know that a local judge was being investigated, or city leaders were diverting taxpayer dollars into private accounts, or that a school official had failed to report criminal behavior by a teacher." WRONG!.... We find out, and more often than not, we find out before it makes the L-E. I just wish the L-E really was an investigative news source, and that the L-E presented stories and facts when smoke starts to appear, and not wait until the story is engulfed in full-fledged flames. One great ongoing example is how little attention the L-E has paid to the SPLOST revenue shortages of the MCSD.

It's rather disheartening to taxpayers to see full page medical ads advertising their products are free to government workers and retirees. There was nothing 'free' to taxpayers who have paid for such benefits. If you are a non-government worker/retiree, boycott such businesses.

It's early, but the Mississippi State Bulldogs seemed to have more bite than the UGA ones.
