Boy-gojevich

I haven't been following the Blogojevich news that closely, but his picture is all over the place right now. And every time I see it it strikes me as a bit odd.

There's just something about him that looks kind of artificial, or something.

The Most Important Thing That Will Happen This Week

I don't pretend to know squat about the sports. But being a Knoxvillian, there are two mighty shadows one must live under: Neyland Stadium and the McRib religion (although some don't separate the two).

She's thankfully okay, but a member of the church was killed and several other adults were injured. This happened during a performance of "Annie Jr." None of the kids were hurt, but they witnessed some terrible things today. Please keep these folks in your thoughts.
