I’ve enjoyed my time at Tiger Weekly, but it wasn’t meant to last forever. In May I’ll be graduating and leaving Louisiana for a law school somewhere north of the Deep South. Since I need to spend this semester picking a law school, including by doing a lot of traveling to visit schools, I figured it was better to let a new editor take over while I was still around to help her get ahold of things.

So, look forward to seeing Kayla’s work. Farewell, loyal Tiger Weekly readers! It’s been a trip.

 So, in this New Year, I’ll dust off the crystal ball and offer my predictions for 2009:

Have you seen the birth certificate for George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, or Richard Nixon?

Aside from UCLA, all of the schools I have applied to are north of Louisiana, in North Carolina (Duke, Wake Forest), Virginia (U of Virginia, William and Mary), Pennsylvania (Drexel), New York (Columbia, NYU), Connecticut (UConn), Michigan (U of Michigan), Missouri (Washington University in St. Louis), Washington (University of Washington-Seattle), and Minnesota (University of Minnesota). So, that makes thirteen completed applications, and at least three to go (Iowa, Harvard, Cornell). I’m also looking into some other schools, like Colorado, Utah, and UC-Davis.

“She shouldn’t have gaven me a 2 out of 20.”

“I have two papers to do, and I haven’t even picked the topic for one of them. Should I do incest?”

“I view God the way I view my ex-boyfriend. We’re cool, but we don’t really talk.”

I’m back at home now, after travelling 1100 miles in less than 24 hours. I like to take the long drive at a more leisurely pace, but I was trying to beat an ice storm.

Amazingly enough in this day, all my car has is a plain radio. No XM, no MP3 adapter, not even a CD player. I had to hear - that is, turn off - way too much Nickelback. But I did pick up a few interesting tidbits in Missouri at 4:00 AM, like a report from the BBC about unrest in Bolivia and a pastor saying ”I don’t believe in cavemen.”

And you thought I was backwards for not having a CD player. Seriously, there were no cavemen? I thought the whole dinosaurs thing was funny, but this just blows my mind.

While, in the short term, this is bad news for the Democrats, as was the loss of Democrat William Jefferson, Congressman from New Orleans, in the long term they’ll be better off without those crooks bringing down their name.

I haven’t played any video games in years.

Yeah, I know, I’m a geek. But it least it isn’t a new political blog.
