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?


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”
