Today, as I mentioned before, is a super-sad day. First off, my beloved computer fatally crashed. Cause of death: still unknown. Funeral services to be held soon.
Then, as if the day couldn't get any worse, I got this horrible, horrible new: Cleveland's favorite political science professor is leaving me. Apparently, his wife is starting to suspect he's having an affair with his blog or something and is, consequently, going on sabbatical. Why exactly I was not included in this discussion I am still trying to figure out, but in the meantime I'm drowning my tears in soup (pumpkin bisque to be exact. It's actually quite good. Especially if you add Splenda).
The professor, when I contacted him, was impervious to my tears. That guy -- he's a strong one, I tell you. Anyway, he urged me to continue on with his fight. I told him I couldn't-- I was weak, I was tired, I don't get out of bed till 10 --but the professor would have none of it. He demanded I stay tough -- for him, for our combined three readers -- and for poor Angela Senters. Angela, if you remember, was a nice -- if misguided -- waitress in Butler County Ohio who's boyfriend was so upset about Obama's election that he decided to join the KKK. For days, the professor had been on a conquest to get Angela a new boyfriend. I joined in, writing a very persuasive (I felt) email, convincing Angela to leave the jackass.
It seems the campaign has been somewhat successful. Just before the professor left his post, he sent me and Melinda Urick a tip about Angela's whereabouts and email-- and also the phone number of Senter's boyfriend.
Now the question becomes what to do with this info. Since my "ethical guru" was someone, who, um made up quotes, I'm leaving this question up to you, dear readers.
As Shakespeare would ask: "What sayeth you?"
wow. that is a crazy story. And gosh, you sound like a real blogger, talking about your blogger friends. It sounds like, you like blogging. Good thing cause I hear no one is really interested in things like articles anymore.

I love crazy and a bit odd stories. A friend of mine that blogs on myspace posted a blog about a game. He asked to go to Google and type in the search box your name than needs. For example Angie needs...
In that process I came across this blog posted on facebook. I than follow the yellow brick road to this site. I'm also a member here but currently still working on setting it up. I also sent you a friend request on fb. I love having quirky friends that is because I'm extremely quirky.
