Morning News

This morning the gym TV was tuned to a different local newscast than usual.  During the whole newscast, they had a headline ticker running at the bottom of the screen.  And just so that we wouldn’t get confused, there was a label to let us know what category of the news was running by: business, health, disasters (I’m not kidding… that was a real label).  At one point, the Education label popped up.  And these were the headlines:

"American Idol hopeful David Archuleta will miss his high school prom in Utah."

"University of Colorado police say that they did not write any tickets at this year’s marijuana smoke-in." 

Wow.  I feel better about the state of education in this country already.  Don’t you?

  1. hey, my school didn’t even have prom (all that evil music and body movement)–how come i didn’t make headlines? “Pennsylvania girl makes poofy dress for non-prom event” or “Conservative teens eat bad catering and stand around wondering what to do without a DJ”
