Happy Monday!
Had an uneventful weekend. Congratulations to the Blue Devils for winning the ACC.
Big kudos to Winthrop and Wofford Universities for making "the dance" into the 64 team NCAA tournament.
My Tarheels made the "Not Invited Tournament" and will face WM & Mary Tuesday.
here are some quick hits I saw on the ol interweb this morning.
Actor Peter Graves has died of natural causes at the age of 83.
The letters A, C, O, R and N are coming off office doors from New York to California. Business cards are being reprinted. New signs with new names are popping up in front of offices. Affiliates of the once mighty liberal activist group ACORN are remaking themselves in a desperate bid to ditch the tarnished name of their parent organization and restore federal grants and other revenue streams that ran dry in the wake of a video scandal. One of the latest groups to adopt a new name is ACORN Housing, long one of the best-funded affiliates. Now, the group is calling itself the Affordable Housing Centers of America. Others changing their names include what were among the largest affiliates: California ACORN is now Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, and New York ACORN has become New York Communities for Change. More are expected to follow suit.
Speaking of ACRON, a Dutch political party formed by self-described pedophiles has voted to disband itself after failing for the second time to participate in national elections in June. The group, which sought to lower the age of sexual consent to 12, says it could not get the 600 signatures necessary to win a place on the ballot in a country of 16.5 million. It would need 60,000 votes to win a seat in the 150-member Dutch parliament.
South Park’s 14th season begins this Wednesday night at 10pm ET. It concerns “Sexual Addiction” and features a parody of Tiger Woods.
