Spitzer swallows
Only terrorists admit to doing something before they get caught. Ever notice that? Now we have the governor of New York being linked to a prostitution ring. I don’t agree with what terrorists do, but at least they take responsibility before someone else pins it on them.

Peep down

It’s a tradition at The Argonaut to request Easter candy from our adoring public (that means you). In previous years, former editor Tara Roberts put out a cry for Peeps, those horrible marshmallow chickens. Well, she’s gone now so to heck with Peeps. Someone send me some Reese’s peanut butter eggs. They are truly amazing.

Instant “Carma”
So whatever jerk it was that leaned on the side mirrors of my Corsica and irreparably bent them out of whack, I hope all of your tires go flat, someone shoves a potato up your muffler and your transmission implodes. It’s “carma,” and it’s coming to get you.

Laughbacks
I was watching TV with my boyfriend last night when I started laughing. Only I wasn’t cracking up at the show, I was laughing at a memory. I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to explain what was so funny, so all my boyfriend could do was chuckle and stare at me because I couldn’t even stop long enough to breath. (This is not an uncommon laugh if you know me).

Radiohead rocks

After the success of their recent “pick your own price” business model, Radiohead is trying yet another fan-friendly experiment.
With the help of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim and Aniboom, the band is offering $10,000 to the winner of a music video contest, along with the opportunity to produce a full length animated music video. Check out http://www.aniboom.com/radiohead for details.

Go down gambling
March Madness is here. I’m considering doing a bracket for the first time in my life. I’ve never really cared about college basketball before now, but as sports editor, I’m getting paid to give a crap about this crap. I figure it can’t be too bad, especially if gambling is involved. I can rock an old granny’s world at bingo.
If I can win $100 off of a buck in a slot machine. Who’s to say I don’t have natural talent at picking victorious college basketball teams via unconventional methods? Bring it on T.J. and Johnny Ballgame. Team Lords is aiming for total domination.

Dreaming of DDD

My first year not be participating in Dancers Drummers Dreamers is bittersweet. Although rigorous and time consuming, it is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had at UI.
Check out DDD behind the curtains in the A&C section — this is a show everyone should see.
To all the people preparing for this weekend’s show — you are in my thoughts. Break a leg!
— Christina N.
