R. Kelly pisses on national anthem. 

The R&B singer performed at the Taylor-Hopkins fight, and thus created one of the lowest points in our nation's history. I didn't think he could get any worse, after he released his famed opera "In the Closet." "The Star Spangled Banner" does not a have an R&B beat behind it, nor should it. The only person who could ever have gotten away with something like that was Jimi Hendrix, and he didn't videotape himself urinating on minors.  

The battle continues, literally 

A University of Kansa professor was brutally attacked by two assailants, and authorities think it may have to do with a class on intelligent design (there's that word again). The class entitled ""Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies," was later canceled. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Christ would condone beating someone because of their beliefs. I hate fundamentalists of any religion. 

360's may or may not work. 

Some consumers are reporting that their Xbox 360's are overheating. My heart goes out to the people who spent hours in line, fought off robbers and paid hundreds of dollars only to have the system die on them. Of course, then I realize I don't have a 360. So I get bitter and don't care anymore. 

The University of Armageddon at Monticello 

Finals are upon us and it's do-or-die time for many students. For many first-time freshmen it's the culmination of a semester's worth of playing video games and getting hammered. For others, it's the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Just remember when the smoke clears and the grades are tallied, you should feel lucky you escaped this semester with most of your sanity, and that you have the spring semester to revive your GPA. 

DVD of the week 

Penn and Teller's "Bullshit." Seasons 1 and 2.

The duo that spent years revealing magic tricks, now move on to debunking other myths. The magical team goes after ESP, Creationism, Alien Abductions and most shocking of all, the myth of recycling. The show originally aired on Showtime, so expect lots of cursing and more than a few nude people. Rated TVMA

Grade: A
