I dislike the way the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) determines a national champion as much as the next guy, but THIS is ridiculous.

A website is up that is organizing “Tea Parties” for April 15. About a month ago, there were some tea parties across the country on very short notice.

There had been hopes that this would help a country that has been struggling immensely over the last decade or so. However, the bad news continues for Mr. Tsvangirai.

Jenny and I got out of the house for a few hours Friday night to go see a movie. Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to babysit so we could get out. We headed to the dollar theatre (now the two-dollar theatre) in Knoxville. There were a couple things we wanted to see, but our [...]
