Ladies and gentleman, we've found the new Lolcats. Even though we know it's meant to be a political tool for the GOP, we cannot get enough of the Make-Your-Own-"Joe The Plumber"-sign Web site found on JohnMcCain.com. While our posts in the past may have suggested a certain political sway, we're certain that this fun little widget will reach across the aisle and enjoy at least 15 minutes of internet fame.
Welcome to Over It, in which we allow a disgruntled UTB contributor to rant at length about some thing or another. (How is that different from every other post on UTB, you ask? We're not sure!) Today, Michael Gold takes on that most odious form of footwear, Uggs.
So I, like some of you, watched Governor Sarah Palin's two appearances on Saturday Night Live. And even though I might not be a fan of her political stances, I have to say, it wasn't quite the disaster I'd expected.
Until this year, I'd been down on Saturday Night Live for a number of reasons (to name a few: it's lost its edge, the people on aren't funny or memorable, the writing hasn't been that original, all the big names up and left...). But the reintroduction of Tina Fey earlier this fall gave the show a new spark it desperately needed (a spark, if you recall, that was enough to make me overlook Michael Phelps' terrible job as host). A spark that seemed like it would never burn out and would result in ratings gold.
Apparently, the Ivy League has been wrought with celebrities this week. Emma Watson (Hermione from Harry Potter) made a trip to Harvard, Yale... and Brown. And yet not Penn. If that weren't enough, both Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were seen at the Harvard admissions office (and no, we don't think Ashton Kutcher is going back to college anytime soon--though, lord knows he needs it).
As a transfer student, I have the lovely experience of not being a freshman while often getting treated as if I were (for the record, I didn't ask to live in Hill, and those upperclassmen choosing to live here again are crazy). But rather than dwell, I've used my social pariah status to study the ways of the first-semester freshman. You may think think that the giant scarlet "F" you felt like your were wearing on your forehead during NSO has disappeared as you settle into October, but there's still a lot to learn. Here are five of the most egregious errors.
While I watched the VP debate, I imagine a good number of you did not. After all, even though we Penn students pride ourselves on being intelligent, aware human beings, we couldn't help but wonder who thought to schedule a debate on a Thursday. I mean, really?
If you were anywhere near the Compass while you hustling to get to DRL before noon, you likely noticed the mob of people pummeling each other with pillows. Needless to say, I was there, camera in hand, watching the chaos (oh, the things one does for journalism).
Let me start out by saying: I hate BlackBerries. This is, granted, mostly because I wield a Samsung camera phone and wish I could BBM during class--but regardless, my lack of Berry has left me sad and bitter.
The UA prides itself on their commitment to sustainability: the word appears many times in their list of accomplishments. Apparently, though, the incoming freshman didn't quite get the memo?
It's probably safe to assume that the average Penn student isn't watching Saturday Night Live--and given the show's lackluster quality, I'm not sure why I was watching either. So unless you were huddled in your room eating Raisinets (guilty!), you missed Tina Fey's triumphant return to the show that made her a star. Not only do Fey and Palin look exactly alike, but the famous comedienne captured Palin's mannerisms perfectly. And of course, once you stop considering which of the two is more qualified to be the Vice President, you can also catch some brilliant commentary on the election.
Despite claiming they're hated on, the women's lacrosse team dominated the Ivy League All-Ivy selections (although the release does misstate that Princeton is facing Colgate in the second round when it's actually Penn that's facing the Raiders).
ATLANTIC CITY -- The last time these two teams played, it was a joke. Temple was doubling up La Salle by halftime, and cruised to a 85-66 victory to win a share of the Big 5 title. To make matters worse, it was at La Salle and on Senior Day. The Explorers come into this game trying to make the A-10 semifinals and get some revenge while they're at it.
FINAL: Penn 88, Dartmouth 62. Comprehensive and convincing. Not much more to be said. Good night from New Hampshire and see you tomorrow from Hahvahd.
FINAL: UNC 106, Penn 71. In-game updates are after the jump.
It was announced today that Ibrahim Jaaber will play on the Pistons' Las Vegas summer league team, joining the likes of UCLA's Arron Afflalo and almost-lottery pick Rodney Stuckey of Eastern Washington. His first game for an NBA team will be against the Sixers on Saturday at COX Pavilion.
I'm in no mood for joking around this afternoon, so we'll get right to it.
It's the Saturday before Championship Week, so there are probably dozens of games that can affect Penn's seeding and RPI in some way or another.
This post comes live from a darkened hall in the Palestra, where The Line has severely blurred the line between fan and journalist.
Is there any poll that hates Penn more than the SpikeTV/collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Top 25? Sure, Gonzaga and Bucknell deserve to be at the top. But when school's like Northern Arizona and IUPUI are ranked ahead of Penn, that's just silly.
