TRUE AMERICAN HERO - OLYMPIAN CHAD HEDRICK

Kudos and a shout out to U.S. Olympian Chad Hedrick!!
True to the red, white and blue!
CONGRATS!!

OH NO YOU DIDN'T.....YOU PULLED A BODE!!!

Yup!!
The new catch phrase when you really screw up and lose it.
You pulled a Bode!
Don't Bode!
Beware of the Bode!
You really Bode'd up!!
You Bode!!
Thank you to Bob Costas for calling Bode out after all was said and done! Mess!

Get a refund Nike....Bode Miller partied too much!!

Nike needs to request a refund for any money that they have paid Bode Miller. What an embarrassment to the USOC. Miller's time in the spotlight is over and we are tired are seeing his mess unfold. KARMA!!

Sasha Full of Grace

Miss Cohen was outstanding during her short program. The best skating I had ever seen. She was confident, had grace, artistry, strong jumps, and the crowd was with her all the way. However, last night the doubt was in her eyes when she hit the ice. You could tell something was up in her mind. I had this urging feeling that she was going to fall and BAM...she did. Oh well. I am happy she got a silver medal over the Russian and Sasha's fall was definitely not as nasty (See pictures..can we say SPREAD EAGLE with C.T. sticking OUT...ugh!!)! Sasha had the presentation skills to out score her competitor and grab the silver medal. In my opinion, it is so much more satisfying to watch Cohen than it is Slutskya. Irina is just powerful jumps, spins, and arm movements (much like the gold medal men's winner from Russia this year). Interpretation was the key and Cohen got herself together and finished the free skate strongly! Way to go!

Rap History 101

Excerpt from an email:

Oh...another thing:

"Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks."

Make sure your students know and understand this. It was very important for me, as a 7th grader, to learn those wise words from the venerable Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog. The quality of rap these days just isn't up to par as it was in the early 90s. You ARE teaching "History of Rap" for at least a week in the spring semester right? I believe it is important for our young ones to feel the power of tracks like "The $20 Sack Pyramid" and "Deeez Nuuuts". THE CHRONIC should be required listening for our junior high students just as THE GREAT GATSBY is.

Ya feel me?

Sippin' on gin and juice,

Who agrees?

AMERICAN IDOL or AMERICAN DULL? You be the judge

Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell.....IT'S A NO!!!
The top 24 could already easily be the top 12. Some of the women were awful and if you thought that was bad, it was even worse for the men.
Seriously, out of the 12 men that sang last night there were only 6 out of the 12 that deserved air time. Huge disappointment. We just sat there and kept thinking what the hell Randy, Paula and Simon actually heard in the auditions.
Hear no evil, speak no evil and say no evil need some hearing aids. They sent the mortician boy home and kept some of the worst singers we have ever heard.
This could be one of the worst seasons of American Idol if this madness continues. Some of the men could not have found a right note if it was given to them on a platter. Speaking of platters, most of the men would not even make it as singing waiters. BIG OLE MESS!!
