newsThe Lion of the tribe of Judah is bigger than the lions of the Senate. That's right, when the economy suffers, people buy less porn, so naturally Girls Gone Wild should be on the latest list of congregational bailouts with our tax money: Never mind the $1.6 million Girls Gone Wild was sentenced to pay for criminal wrongdoing two years ago: I wonder if congress could give me some money? The bad news is my Internet was down most of the day. Storms tend to do that to DSL, but it turns out the line was just unplugged. Doh! The good news is this thing somehow completely missed Orlando.. the strangest prediction route was actually the most accurate. But.. you know even if it had hit us, I still wouldn't have cared. It's not even a hurricane yet (it's supposed to strengthen and come back way north of us). I'm totally desensitized after the 2004 season. Charlie knocked out our power for a week, Francis for the better part of a day, and Jeanne actually did a complete loop in the Atlantic before nailing Orlando for the third time in six weeks. I just slept through that one. pfft.. don't even tell me unless it's a Category 4. Seriously.
In other news, President Bush made a statement today that because of the diversity in America, all nations should be rooting for the US in the Olympics. "When we win, you all win!" (ok not really, but it would be amusing) ps: I forgot that I had set the site slogan to "cones, cubes, spheres, and more!" from Cheesy Invaders. "It's the cheesiest!" I think it's funny though, so it's staying on my news feed. Yay, my sample ballot for the Republican primary arrived. The first item on the list is Ric Keller vs Todd Long for Florida Congress district 8. Keller has been sponsoring anti-college student legislation on behalf of the entertainment industry, which he claims to represent more, saying he has Disney in his district. Well perhaps they can vote for him because I'm not going to. He's been in office several terms and seems too comfortable with his position. I encourage you all to displace him. I'm hoping Long wins the primary so I won't have to vote Democrat/abstain in the next election. Yeah, I actually said that. What a sad state our government is when the chief reason for voting is because you dislike the other guy more. It's always nice to know that illegally exporting weapons to Sudan carries a similar sentence to running a bittorrent tracker. I mean it's unfortunate that the Janjaweed are committing genocide and have driven millions from their homes, but it would be simply intolerable if they also saw a bootleg copy of Star Wars that didn't cost the industry anything.

The Martin family appreciates the care and assistance provided by the local medical community and friends. http://www.shipmansfuneralhome.com/service-information.asp?ID=898 This might be a bit harsh, however I believe that the Academic Enhancement Program itself is so offensive that it deserves a stern response. SGA unanimously rejected the Academic Enhancement Program, but a few greedy administrators are practically drooling at the prospect of an additional $48 million each year. Help us put an end to their madness by reminding them that the vast majority of students are opposed to this, and the university only exists to serve our needs. The most important links are spelled out as a full URL. Please don't continue reading without pausing to read those.
Like paying President Hitt $450000/year plus benefits so his salary can stay competitive with other university presidents, who must, in turn, raise their own salaries to stay competitive, and so forth ad nauseum. Then there was the $849000 that UCF literally threw away by firing Kruczek despite his contract, and the $2.6 million they paid to break athletic conference contracts (source). Or the $700000 - $1.1m/year they have to pay Kruczek's replacement (O'Leary), who made a dazzling entrance with five straight losses. Or there's the expensive stadium that the Board of Trustees unanimously approved despite concerns from residents, all for a team that (at the time) was famous for a 17 game loosing streak. But whenever there's a budget "crisis", it's always nice that UCF has it's number one crutch to fall back on - fee increases.
