Greetings Earthlings!

Good news at last. I should be starting this weekend doing security work. Not the greatest job, but its a paycheck. Just a few "i"s to cross and "t"s to dot and things will be fine.

Also Ann & I have been talking about me going back to school full-time. I am thinking about getting a degree in American Studies: Pop Culture. I know that sounds a bit odd, but a lot of jobs dont care what your degree is in as long as you have one. I may even get my Masters. At this point it is still in the planning stages so who knows.

Instead of saying the the regular Pledge of Allegiance what the kid said was (mind you he is only 8) "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Federation of Planets, and to the galaxy for which it stands, one universe, under everybody, with liberty and justice for all species."

Kid kicked out for saying Star Trek pledge

Ok a kid in Charles County in the state of Maryland was refused his diploma because he wore a bolo tie. The school said it was too skinny. Now he has to have a conference with the administrators to get it. To quote the Washington Post

"We set the standard to make sure all our ceremonies are formal and respectful," he said.

In March, Benya's high school sent a letter to parents and seniors explaining that "adherence to the dress code is mandatory," with the word mandatory in bold and underlined. For girls: white dresses or skirts with white blouses. For boys: dark dress pants with white dress shirts and ties."

Who cares what tie he wears? Its not like he mooned the audience or walked up to the microphone and said "Fuck Bush!". Christ who cares what they wear.
