Matthew Stafford: An NFL Classic

This will go down as one of the gutsiest performances ever by a Detroit Lion:

Cancel your Black Friday plans, head to Ford Field!

How about those Lowell Red Arrows? After a convincing 35-14 win over Birmingham Brother Rice, LHS is in the Division 2 State Finals! The top-ranked Red Arrows will take on Inkster this Friday at 1 PM.

If you missed yesterday's game, you'll want to read Mick McCabe's article from today's Detroit Free Press. The Son of Swami was packed into the press box with the rest of the media sardines yesterday - this is the best piece on the Red Arrows I've seen in years.

How to define lateral movement

Leave your job at Fox News for The Onion. Too funny.

Exam Study Break!

It's a Poker Face-off between Lady Gaga, Christopher Walken, and Cartman. Enjoy.

RIP Ken Ober, One of MTV's Best

Those of us who remember MTV for music videos also remember its first foray into non-music programming. Ken Ober hosted "Remote Control", a pop-culture trivia game show that helped launch the careers of Colin Quinn, Dennis Leary, and Adam Sandler. (Am I the only one who remembers him as "Stickpin"?) Ober was only 52.

Sifting through the trash

In these days of instant information, it helps to have a few sources to sort the wheat from the chaff. For instance, say you want to know how much of a new non-fiction best-seller is on the up and up. You want to believe the author, but you're just not sure. What do you do? Two great sites that eschew obfuscation are Factcheck.org and Politifact.com. The latter measures the accuracy of a politico's statement on a scale from "Truth" to "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!"

Red Arrows advance to D2 Semis!

The mighty Lowell Red Arrows will meet the Warriors of Birmingham Brother Rice on Saturday, November 21. Game time is 1 PM at Howell High School. GO ARROWS!

Today's Lesson in Irony - GRCC Edition

A year ago, our beloved Grand Rapids Community College instituted a no smoking policy across campus which, as you can imagine, didn't please a number of students. (As a non-smoker, I'm thrilled to be able to breathe fresh air when entering and exiting the Main Building.) A year later, most are obeying the rule on campus, but there's a problem: they're taking their butts across the street to other businesses and churches that don't allow smoking either. (Some staffers are doing this, too.)

Yesterday, in an email sent to all students and staff, a number of sites were suggested where anyone could light up. Included in the list was - get this - Cancer Survivors' Park on Bostwick.

Why Lou Dobbs left CNN

The truth, as usual, can be found in The Onion.

For those who think "National Health Care Plan" = Socialism

You are encouraged to watch tonight's episode of Frontline on PBS. "Sick Around the World" explores how five capitalist democracies make health care work. Can't watch tonight? Watch it all online.
