The Liberty “University” debate team
(from the everything associated with Jerry Falwell is crap dept.)
Check out: They’re not really #1 and Liberty Debate Team, Take 3

JCU team wins American Debate Assn National Championship:
Sean McClure ’07 and Chris Schroeder ‘09 won the American Debate Association National Championship for novice debaters at the annual tournament that concluded yesterday (Mar 12) at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
In the process John Carroll defeated #1 ranked Liberty University, a team receiving national coverage (Newsweek, The Colbert Report, CBS Evening News) no doubt in part because of the fact it is coached by Brett O’Donnell, who also coaches an individual named George W. Bush.
I wouldn’t care all that much but for the fact my alma mater was involved…
Mmmm, $1,000 mint julep
(via email)
Sip slowly: a $1,000 mint julep:
I don’t know about the rest of you, but if I spend a grand on a drink, I better see God (or feel like my brains have been smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick) after drinking it…
What European city do you belong in?

 Whether you want to be a squatter graffiti artist or a great novelist, Amsterdam has all that you want in Europe (in one small city). |

Judas
I’ve always argued that the demonization of Judas never really made sense. Without Judas (or another “betrayer”), Christianity would not be possible. Looks like someone from around 300 AD agrees with me.
Somebody Stole Jerry Garcia’s Pot
(from the toilet humor dept.)
Late Grateful Dead leader’s toilet stolen:
SONOMA, California –The long, strange trip continues for Jerry Garcia’s toilet. Police say the Grateful Dead leader’s commode was stolen recently from a driveway along with three other toilets and a bidet, The Press Democrat newspaper reported Saturday.
Garcia’s salmon-colored toilet was the subject of a legal battle before it was finally moved to Sonoma, to await shipment to a Canadian casino.
It’s unclear if the toilet was swiped by a wayward Deadhead or a thief remodeling a bathroom. Police have no suspects or leads.
