You just can't make this stuff up

Why Indiana should be sold to Syria...

Woman pulled over for drunk driving but all family members who turn up to pick up her 1-year old son also show up drunk.

In an interview with Fox's Greta Van Susteren, Palin said:

I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door...And if there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door.

Like, I didn't know the whole "Valley Girl" style of talk was like back in ya know.

And of course, Bush hits an all time low approval rating of 16%. That's even lower than Nixon after Watergate! The scary part? 16% of the population thinks he's doing a good job.

Obama FTW!!!

Guess it's not going to be as late a night as I expected.

We have the first black president of the U.S. What an amazing time in history.

Spring '09 Schedule

I've got it...at least the most recent version.

For those of you who are interested in taking me again (or avoiding me), here is my spring schedule:

HIS-101-001 T/Th 3:10-4:30pm
HIS-102-001 M/W 1:40-3:00pm
HIS-102-003 T/Th 1:40-3:00pm
HIS-102-007 M/W 3:10-4:30pm
HIS-107-002 T/Th 4:40-6:00pm***

*** The HIS-107-001 was dropped from the spring schedule and replaced with this section. If you registered already for that class, you'll need to re-register for the new section and time.

Palin Gets Punk'd

Sébastien Trudel and Marc-Antoine Audette, two Montreal radio hosts, managed to "punk" Sarah Palin into thinking Trudel was French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Got to love those French Canadians, eh?

Chicago Style Paper and Footnotes

As promised, here is my guideline to doing footnotes in your paper:

Footnote Guide

To give you an idea of what an article written in Chicago Style looks like:

An Article With Chicago Style Footnotes

Also, the library has a pretty decent guide to writing a Chicago Style paper. Only difference is you won't be using headers and you'll be using footnotes instead of endnotes.

Sample Chicago Paper

Remember, your paper requires a title page and the bibliography should be on a separate page at the end. Please don't make it a separate file.

Also, I would like you to use the following standard when naming your file:

LastnameFirstinitial_paper#1.doc(x)

GraneyC_paper#1.docx

Too Freaking Funny....
