So here you are, the president of a university's alumni association and you've got to raise some bucks for your school.  Of course with money being tight and everybody worried about their own situation, you've got to do it in such a way that will get noticed and folks will respond in a positive way. (ie Send you the money.)

What do you do?  You send out a letter with the word "blah" in there 137 times.

Not the letter 137 times of course.  The word "Blah."  As in "With the recent economic downturn and loan crisis, it has become even more important for Framingham State College to receive your support. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,"

The school has stated that the September 5th letter was an attempt to inject a little 20-something humor into the effort to raise money for its Legacy Fund.  Of course the college's advancement office quickly apologized when the MetroWest Daily News brought it to their attention, saying the letter's attempt at humor was misguided. (Don't they always.)

But hey, guess what?  It worked.  The school collected about $2,000 from nearly 40 alumni who had never donated to the school before.  In exchange though, some alumni said they found the letter insulting, unprofessional and ridiculous.

Was it worth it?  Gotta admit 2 grand isn't that much.

Picture from here.

Sorry, no Shego picture but I'm holding out for one.

Well, I guess Barney's upset that the Republicians pretty much lost the election.  He took out his anger on Jon Dekker, a member of the White House Press Corp from Reuters.

Maybe, as First Lady Laure Bush put it, "he was done with the paparazzi."

He's probably lucky Dick Cheney didn't shoot him. :)

As an aside, what Barney was probably concerned about what all that stuff in the reporter's left hand.

I made a lolcat.  Please consider voting for it for me.

Reuters is reporting that Russia has taken the lead in dog tracking technology.  Russians can now use the military GLONASS satellite global positioning system to monitor the movements of their faithful companions as they save the word from the evils of American capitalism.  No news from the American military on when or how they plan to catch up with our pesky Commie friends.

So beware that lovable stray that you throw scraps to.  He may be helping to planing routes for the next Soviet invasion.

:D

Anyone else thinking I'm finally getting around to cleaning out my bookmarks?

And don't they look a little young to be discussing sex?
