Wasn’t very impressed with the first two offerings from Kanye, based on the SNL tracks. Mostly visual and not much else to it. I’ll have to check it out again though.

Why Every Educator Should Applaud That Viral Video of a Teen Going Off on His Teacher.

On Tuesday Duncanville High School sophomore Jeff Bliss went off on his world history teacher, Ms. Phung, and it was all surreptitiously filmed by a classmate who promptly uploaded it onto YouTube. From there it made it to the front page of Reddit, and the rest, as they say, is history.

From KUCB:

A flock of eagles descended on the Safeway parking lot last week, prompting police intervention.

Public Safety Director Jamie Sunderland says several people called in short succession on Thursday afternoon to report the melee.

Sunderland: “One of our officers went over there and there were 40 eagles sitting on, in and around several vehicles in the area.”

Sunderland says the eagles were feasting on garbage bags of fish product in the bed of a pickup truck.

In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.

Police in Middlefield, Ohio released dash cam video of a deadly police-involved shooting, CBS affiliate WOIO Cleveland reported.

The shooting happened on March 10 during a traffic stop in the area of North State Avenue near Tare Creek Parkway.

Before the Middlefield officers could even get out of the cruiser, James Gilkerson, 42, grabbed his semi-automatic AK-47 rifle and opened fire on the officers.

The officers returned fire, and killed Gilkerson.

This is exactly why we need stricter gun laws. It’s the same old story, and nothing seems to change. There’s no way this guy gets an Ak and all that ammunition with stricter laws. Now way.

Reports: Boston bombings suspect awake, responding in writing

USA Today, ABC News and NBC News are reporting that Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is awake and responding in writing to questions, according to law enforcement officials.

Earlier, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said that Tsarnaev was still “not in any condition to be interrogated.” He said the suspect’s condition has only stabilized in “the last few hours.”

Tsarnaev was captured Friday and is under heavy guard in a Boston hospital.
