I like to think of affirmative action as "the good intention guy." The intention is good, but as with many other programs (I'm not sure what to call it?) it's just a clusterfuck.

I think that AA (as far as college entrances go, at least) is about to change a whole lot. There's a reason that the court granted cert to the Fisher case, and it's either that they want to reinforce their previous decision or that they want to change it-- and I think it's the latter, personally.

Not that I wish death on any celebrities, but I think things would be more interesting if a high profile celebrity died unexpectedly and shocked the shiit out of all of us.

I'm rooting for Lindsay. Even though she took a turn and dumped her great looks and (potentially great) career, I hope she can come back and be good again.
Another celeb death brewing: Brooke Mueller. She's got overdose written all over her face. Or Michael Lohan.
