Yeah, well, it's better than the TV stuff

Right now, with politicians braying and trumpeting and doing everything except their jobs, the news is not worth comment or link. Except for people being people.

Experts agree

Maybe sharks killed and partially ate a baby dolphin, maybe not.

"We don't like to think of cute, little marine mammals being consumed by big, mean sharks. But it happens all the time, and it doesn't make the ocean any scarier or less safe than it was before it happened." – Daniel Abel, professor of marine science.

Beach Crime Scene Investigation still working on evidence.


‘Cicadas Swarm Reporter Standing on Top of Tank’

It is not a tank, but, hey, why expect a reporter doing a story at Fort Riley, Kansas, to know any better? There might have been some black, dangerous looking assault rifles inside the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, though.

(She is pretty good eye candy, and soldiers appreciated her taking time to allow observation exercises.)


Bottom line – You will take SAT a second time

College Board’s statement to students whose SATs were lost:

“’We share the frustration of affected students and their families. Every effort is being made to locate the shipment. In the meantime, we are working to provide options to accommodate these students, including a makeup test day or transfer to a future test.’”

Hey, College Board excuse writer: You do not “share the frustration.” You did not take the tests that were lost. You might be, and should be, embarrassed, but having a share in frustration you do not.

And that “provide options” is a PR way of saying, “You gonna take the test again.”
