Off To A Good Start

The registration period for picking classes for next year opened at 8 pm tonight. I was waitlisted for 1 class during Fall '07 & 1 class for Winter '08. Mighty pleased about getting into most of the classes I wanted, though there were a few tense seconds there where I couldn't get the Fall registration page to open, but about 8:00:15 pm it cooperated. That's probably why I got waitlisted. No biggie. They (classes) should open up before Fall rolls around.

Goat of the week: The PA radio jock that was fired earlier this week. Phrase that pays for his listeners was "nappy-headed hos." Howard Stern will be having plenty of company down in satellite radio pretty soon.

An aside: Why do celebrities who use racial slurs feel the need to meet with Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson? Who made these two the moral compass by which African-American standards are measured? They have so much 'baggage' about them that I cringe every time they scold these wrongdoers. I hope those who'll be spewing racial slurs in the future have learnt that meeting with Al Sharpton will do them no good - Kramer has been whittled down to nothingness and & Imus got fired. Why isn't anyone running the tape of Al Sharpton essentially branding the Duke boys guilty way before the facts ever came out & asking him to apologize? Pointless but you get the idea. They take everyone to task whenever the opportunity presents itself and it's about time someone returned the favor! Caveat: I have yet to see someone win an argument against Al.
