Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban creates company to challenge BCS system - ESPN Dallas
"Cuban's basic idea is to keep the bowl system but make it more profitable for programs to qualify for his playoffs than to participate in a bowl.
'Put $500 million in the bank and go to all the schools and pay them money as an option,' Cuban told ESPNDallas.com in December.
'Say, 'Look, I'm going to give you X amount every five years.
In exchange, you say if you're picked for the playoff system, you'll go.''"

Below are some of the "lyrics" from the viral video that may send this idiot to prison.
I don't know if he needs prison.

“See how long it takes to make your panties mine”
(wide shot of the children)
“I'll add some foreplay in just to make it fun”
(close up of girl laughing)
“I want you to suck on my testes until I spurt in your face”
(close up of girl covering her mouth)
“I'll lick on your chewie”
(close up of two girls covering their mouths)
“I want to stick my index finger in your anus”
(close up of boy making a shocked face)
“I'll be the bus riding your ass up and down my town”
(close up of boy with grossed-out look on his face)
“I'm gonna use my sausage to make fettucine, then for dessert have a Harry Houdini”
(close up of girl laughing and rocking)

8-Year-Old Suspended From School for Jesus Drawing
"Taunton, Massachusetts, public school officials suspended a second grader for drawing a stick figure of Jesus on the cross after his teacher instructed the class to draw an image that reminded them of Christmas.
The eight-year-old special needs boy was then required to undergo violence counseling before officials allowed him to return to school."

Benefits in Balance
Benefits in Balance, James Hohman, Public-Sector Fringe Benefits [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"...examine what happens when workers switch jobs from the private to the public sector.
Available data show that, on average, a worker who leaves a private-sector job on Tuesday finds himself making 8 to 28 percent more if he starts working for the government on Thursday, although it's unlikely his education and skill levels leapt that much on Wednesday.
Moreover, the extra pay premium probably increases the longer he remains on the public’s dime."

Watching the same complicit media we all saw, Cohen notes most journalists covered the mobs “as if they were reporting from Times Square on New Year’s Eve, stopping only at putting on a party hat.”"

"Such low verbal and literacy scores makes it even more unbelievable that, just this past week, some of our state's educational administrators joined the feds in seeking to mandate Arabic classes for Texas children.
No joke!
The Arabic studies program, funded by a five-year, $1.3 million Foreign Language Assistance Program federal grant, was to begin this semester at Cross Timbers Intermediate School in Mansfield School District, then spread to neighboring Davis Elementary and Howard Middle schools in the fall and to Summit High School by fall 2012."

Shocker: Americans worry about unemployment
We're in Jimmy Carter's 2nd term.
You MUST click the photo!
Man lured by sex gets beaten, robbed
Not the story I expected.
I thought it was just a run of the mill story about marriage.....
"defriended"!
Wow!
My county commissioner "defriended" me on Facebook.
I openly criticized the entire commission for voting on spending items without reading them.
I guess that's offensive to my representative.
Isn't it kinda "13-year-old-girl-hissy-fit-ish"?
The skin is thin for those used to slavish adulation, isn't it.
