This is what the boys do during Bye Week...

University of Iowa football player A.J. Derby has been suspended for two games after he was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and public intox over the weekend.

From the local paper: "A.J. Derby will serve a two game suspension as a result of his poor decisions this past weekend," said Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz.

Wow. Way to go out on a limb with that punishment, Coach.

Derby will not be allowed to participate in the next two games. Interesting, since he's the backup quarterback and most likely wouldn't even play in the games ANYWAY.

Not that I wish anyone ill, but it would so serve them all right if starting quarterback James Vandenberg has to leave the game on Saturday against Penn State. Trouble with this little lesson is that John Wienke, the QB who would come in instead of Derby, isn't a third string true freshman. He's a junior who has been battling Derby for the second spot.

Way to teach these boys a lesson.

Way to crack down on drunkenness and illicit shenanigans.

I guess this is one of those teachable moments. What have we been taught? Party at your own risk.

'Cause it turns out it's not real risky, after all.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
