Student Corgi Horror Film

One of the things that I like to watch is student films.  It's interesting to see creative minds figuring out what they want to do with an artform and how to do it.  Usually these film are riddled with faults, but sometimes you can find a student film that is perfect save for one slight error.  For example, the film embedded below would make for a great low budget horror film, if only they had picked different music.  I applaud their efforts though.  This is a great student film.

Baseketball Is A Movie That Still Holds Up

NHL Expansion Through The Years

This video reminds me of how team movement was explained in the opening sequence to the 1998 film Baseketball.  If you haven't seen this film, see it or you suck.

Pivot?

Sometimes I see something that I agree with but still have questions about.

Meghan McCain: I've Had 'All The Sarah Palin I Need For One Lifetime'

Meghan McCain is quoted as saying that on a show she has on Pivot.  I agree with Meghan McCain on her sentiments about Sarah Palin, but I still have some questions.  Meghan McCain has a show?  What's Pivot?  Can I watch Pivot and the show on which Megham McCain appears on my regular TV or do I have to power up my internet TV device?

About Drug Testing

Report: NFL Drug Testing Is Screwed Up And Screwed Josh Gordon

I read this story yesterday and I've been thinking about it ever since.  This is not because I'm a Browns fan, a Josh Gordon fan, or because I'm a football fan.  This is because there's a situation that I've been following ever since the media started reporting it.

Utah's welfare drug testing saved more than $350,000 in first year, officials say

In recent years several states, including my own, have been implementing policies that require beneficiaries of certain public assistance programs, most prominently welfare, to undergo drug screening in order to get on and stay on public assistance.  The ethics of such requirements has been in debate, but the Josh Gordon situation brings up an even more troubling question.  Does drug testing even work?  Do the mechanisms that are in place to deliver and test a sample even work in giving consistent reliable results?  Does drug testing give consistent, reliable, and accurate results?  Can the results of drug testing be trusted?  If a multi-billion dollar sports league has systemic problems with a system that it has and currently is spending millions of dollars to set up, run, and maintain, do states suffer from similar problems, or perhaps even worse ones?
