Getting away from it all
So, the family and I have escaped the life that is Lafayette and ventured to
Perdido Key, Florida. As I type this it's just after midnight of Friday the 13
th of April 2007. I'm sitting out on the balcony of our condo at Spanish Key, facing the Gulf of Mexico and listening to the surf roll in. It's an amazing sound, I'll tell you. I could really get used to something like this. We spent the morning on the beach, just like we did yesterday. Come to think of it, it's what we're going to do tomorrow, too. Quite a life, huh?
Anyway, no real news to talk about. Oh, of course there's the Don Imus fiasco
(Amid the outcry over his on-air racial slur, Imus said Thursday that he had "apologized enough" and that he will not go on "some talk-show tour." "I'm not going to go talk to Larry King or Barbara Walters or anyone else," Imus said on his flagship station in New York, WFAN-AM, which is owned by CBS Corp. and distributed "Imus in the Morning" nationally. "The only other people I want to talk to are these young women at the team, and then that's it," Imus said.Imus' disparaging remarks about the Rutgers players prompted eight companies to pull their ads from his show: Staples, General Motors, Sprint Nextel, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter & Gamble, PetMed Express, American Express and Bigelow Tea. ), D.A
Nifong's blunders (
On Wednesday, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper threw out the case against the three young men, pronounced them innocent and delivered a withering attack on Nifong, portraying him as a "rogue" prosecutor guilty of "overreaching." Cooper said Nifong rushed the case, failed to verify the accuser's allegations and pressed on despite the warning signs.), and of course the War in Iraq
(The bomber slipped through the tightest security net in Baghdad and blew himself up in the midst of lawmakers having lunch in the parliament dining hall Thursday. U.S. officials said eight people, including at least two parliament members, were killed in the deadliest-ever attack in the American-guarded Green Zone.) , but you can read about that anywhere...Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow....
