Houston-area teens dig coffee drinks -- specifically Starbucks, according to the article, as if there were no other places to get latte in Houston. Teenagers today are mostly a bunch of conformist, brand-crazy sheep, though, aren't they?
Now I'll get angry email from sheep.
And in Austin, law students got in trouble for having a "ghetto" themed party "in which partygoers carried 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor and wore Afro wigs, necklaces with large medallions and name tags bearing traditionally black and Hispanic names." Their error was in posting pix from the party online.
Yes, they only carried those 40s. Only props.
Here's the headline of the day, from the NY Daily News: 'Stupid' Thug Guilty in Actress Slay. The woman was killed when she confronted a robber who had just pistol-whipped her boyfriend, who commented, "She underestimated how stupid he was."In Seattle, a Quaker church has closed a homeless encampment on their property in a nice neighborhood after the homeless broke too many rules. Hey, if they could follow rules they wouldn't be homeless.
Finally, I highly recommend the MSNBC story about a new book for a former Bush administration worker in its "faith-based initiatives" office who documents the administration's secret scorn for its evangelical base, whom Rove and other aides commonly called "nuts" and other names. On that page, find the listing of video stories and click the one pictured here. Or read the Washington Post story.
