OUT SAVING THE WORLD

Mostly Cloudy, 82% Chance of Rain
It's raining, it's pouring. Law school is really boring.
But, seriously, local news is in full-on "it's raining and you're going to die" mode. We have power outages, mudslides, flooding, pestilence...before long, we'll have frogs falling from the sky up in the Valley.

The next time the Coast Guard shows up at your house...
Check to see if your TV is on. Courtesy L.A. Times:
"A man discovered earlier this month that his year-old Toshiba flat-screen TV was emitting an international distress signal picked up by a satellite, leading to a search-and-rescue operation to his apartment in Corvallis, Ore."
The owner: "They'd never seen a signal come that strong from a home appliance."
Your toaster wants to call 911 now.

BoCoMo Reunion Tour #2
So far it's me, Tra, Superfan Dan, and Becker's Better Burgers holding it down in the 573 this weekend. And hopefully Clark, Joe P@tti, and Tuttle...y'all still live there, after all. Oh and Robin G. too. Open invitation to Shakespeare's on Friday evening, the Berg on Friday and probably Saturday night, maybe Widman's also. And/or Flat Branch. Shakey's will be in order at some point, as well.

Correction: Shakey's is always in order.

OSTW: Starting rumors on the Internets (all of them!) since 2002
Overheard at Cross Creek Starbucks, from what looks to be a Pepp undergrad:
"There's this new cartoon on the Internet with Bush and Kerry. It makes Kerry look really stupid. I like it."

Ahh, Pepperdine.

For some of the best political coverage on the web
Visit Fiscus' blog first.
Then visit Keith Olbermann at MSNBC.com. And, watch Countdown at 8/7 central.
An excerpt from his excellent "score-the-debates-as-a-boxing-match" system, on Friday night's "Timbergate":
"The point awarded to Mr. Bush in the thirteenth round is hereby withdrawn and awarded to Mr. Kerry, for the latter's enterprising hoisting of his opponent on said opponent's own petard. Mr. Bush is also penalized three points for a truth foul.
Mr. Bush is further penalized two points for getting snarky while in the act of being factually incorrect."

OSTW awards Mr. Olbermann two points for structural creativity, and one point each for excellent use of "petard" and "snarky."

The Green Bay Packers...
Suck. But I still love 'em.
However, my football-related energies will now be focused more pointedly behind the #24 Missouri Tigers and the #10 Wisconsin Badgers. Fight, Tiger, and F'em, Bucky.

Please RSVP...
If you are going back to old Mizzou next weekend (22-24) for Homecoming. I'll set up a time when we can all rendezvous at The 'Berg 2.0.
