Are You In or Out?

I know you want this sticker.
But the only way to get it is to pay your dues.

Look out, Ellen! Look out, Rosie!

Everyone hates Mondays, but at least you can say your week is off to a better start than theirs.









Happy Monday!

A New Era

A newly-energized BC faithful watch as Britt consoles/congratulates his squad following the 17-14 overtime loss to Blessed Trinity.

After last night, a lot to be optimistic about in both weeks and years ahead. 

BCTV

With all the hoopla surrounding the Longhorn Network, I think it's time for Br. Tim to lead the charge to create a subscription-based BCTV network.

The main content would, of course, be live athletic events. Other content could include:

• Other live events, such as Commissioning, Pep Rallies, Gannam Day, RFI, Ring Day, St. Patrick's Day, Senior Review, Graduation, etc.
• "The World According to Walsh" - a reality show featuring Coach Walsh.
• "Mrs. Youngblood's Storytime" - a children's show that features Mrs. Youngblood reading classic American literature.
• "The Cadre" - a sitcom based on the wacky antics of the JROTC Cadre.
• "Osorio is On" - a late-night talk show hosted by MSG Osorio.
• "BC and Friends" - a morning roundtable discussion of the day's top stories, featuring Coach Cannon, Coach Yeckley, Coach Curley and Chief Carl.
• "BC Blood" - a fictional vampire show portraying the monks as real-life vampires.

We've got to beat Pinkie Masters! Hold on for one more day!

Gameday!

Well, actually it's Scrimmage Day. The Cadets will take on Calvary at 7:30 at M.C. Anderson Field, aka the Cracker Box. BC "won" last year's scrimmage 14-13.

Pregame Tailgate party at Leonard's house, which is two blocks away from the stadium.

I will leave you with a few images that come to mind when I think of Calvary...

And congrats to TC Madison, by the way, who had a kid yesterday.

An Open Letter To Our Government

U.S. Credit Rating Downgraded for First Time.

To: President Obama

Cc: Senate, House of Representatives

Dear Sirs and Madams,

Good job, turds.  After months of wrangling over the debt ceiling, you finally got a deal done to raise it one more time.  Give yourself a pat of on the back for actually getting some sort of work done....

Now you might be saying, "But wait a minute!  They lowered our credit rating anyway!  No fair!".  I realize that as government officials, your concept of fair is juvenile at best but I assure you, this is totally fair.  This same thing happens to consumers all the time: you get some credit cards, max them out, and your credit score goes down.  It's maddening to think that our government can manage its finances no better than a 19 year old sorority girl.

So, think of this credit downgrade as the big talk with Dad.  You're in deep shit.  How are you going to fix this?  What can you even do at this point?

Enjoy your weekend, asswipes.  I wouldn't want to be strolling into your jobs on Monday.

Best regards,

Joe
