Rasputin Won’t Die aka Great Unpleasantness Update

I promised an Andy Griffith column today, but Andy isn’t going anywhere. He can wait a while longer. Rasputin wouldn’t die and neither will The Great Unpleasantness. A “new story” hit the street yesterday that is really just a rehash of an earlier story but, of course, it has the lynch mob swinging from the chandeliers. We better inject a few soupcons of Truth into the boiling cauldron……

‘Dem Damn UNC BOTers Are ……. !

As promised, today we continue our widely-acclaimed “debunkification” of common myths and legends surrounding the citizen support organizations of the UNC System. Today we examine the Board of Trustees (aka “BOT”) which serve each of the 16 UNC campuses.

Mythbusting: The UNC BOG

Today I will begin a series dispelling assorted myths, misconceptions, falsehoods and “whoppers” re: The UNC BOG / BOTs. If dispelling these myths et al will strike at the core of your life’s essence you may leave now. Truth does not necessarily “set one free” and can cause board monkeys to chew off one or both thumbs.

“To An Athlete Dying….. Old”

A.E. Housman wrote the poem “To An Athlete Dying Young” in 1859. A literary work that survives thru time must carry a theme that is timeless and universal. ….. UNC’s Pete Brennan died Friday morning. At 75, Pete was an athlete who died “old”.

Whats The Point of “Views”?

Since 1999, my goal has always been – To alter the course of human history with the sheer majesty of my wordsmithing. Politicians measure success in votes. Those who toil in the black arts of Internet communications measure ours in views.

An Old Favorite / A Brand New Favorite

Being the Internet version of “that little Dutch boy” is, while prestigious, also demanding. Knowing it is only my finger in the hole in the dike that saves civilization often limits my choices for a column. Today the ever rising tide has receded enough to allow me to replay a golden oldie.

Good Boys Playing Good Baseball

It wasn’t Game Six but by golly it was our neighborhood’s version of it. If you missed Saturday night’s State v Carolina baseball game you sure missed “a real good’un”. Both fine ballclubs now start down The Road To Omaha. It’d be great if both teams meet again ……
