Homeland Security Recruits Elmo In Terrorist Eviction Process
CHEER: Brought to you by the letter "I" for incredulous, the Huffington Post reported that the Department of Homeland Security has teamed up with "Sesame Street" to teach our impressionable youth about how fight the terrorists.
But hey, kudos to Homeland Security for just playing the upfront card. It wants to monitor pretty much every aspect of our lives (oh hey, Patriot Act), so why not just start with the kids? We have our fingers crossed for an Elmo doll that teaches kids what they can and cannot bring on airplanes.
Sarah Palin's E-mail Gets Hacked
JEER: This whole Sarah Palin debacle has grown to such epic proportions, we will just list off the things inherently wrong with this scenario:
-Gawker, a Manhattan media blog, posted Palin's personal e-mails and contacts, including daughter Bristol's phone number.
-Palin has a Yahoo! e-mail account? Actually, that makes sense.
-Apparently, Palin was talking government issues through her personal e-mail. That seems a little suspect, and she doesn't need more things from her past coming back to haunt her.
-Why isn't Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palin impression every day? It's so golden.

"INTEGRITY"
Just like the Ernie Davis Statue curiously sporting Nike logos on the shoes, Athletic Director Daryl Gross' & his people had today's game attendance announced to exceed 30,000 when most people there indicate it clearly was half as many. (Continued…)

"Amen to Integrity"
I read today on the ESPN website that Daryl Gross telephoned their offices to defend himself -- claiming "under his watch the Lacrosse Team won a national championship. (Continued…)
