Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Idiots Among Us
The latest Bozo Award in the world of sports belongs to Sergio Garcia. The tiff between him and Tiger Woods is legendary and has escalated in recent weeks. But the recent statement by Garcia about Tiger Woods coming over to his house for dinner with fried chicken on the menu is beyond belief. It proves once again that even though golf is a cerebral game, stupid people somehow manage to find a way on the course regardless. True Idiocy reigns on the PGA tour.Like MLK, I too have a dream. That someday we will no longer see the color of a man's skin, or judge them by their sexuality, but instead, with compassion and strength, seek to live as equals in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
Until that day, I will rage on in cartoons like this one about the utter stupidity of some people who, unfortunately, inhabit the same planet I do.As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

“We have found that it’s much easier to restrain our wrath when the other fellow is bigger than we are.”- AnonymousTwitter Goodies
“Notre Dame graduated a staggering 99 percent of its student athletes and 97 percent of its football players who entered college between 2002 and 2005.”

Good Morning from Omaha,
I have often wondered how many student/athletes actually graduate from the big football factory schools. They will honor their academic all americans but sometimes during a game the television people will put up some of the players stats.
Things like height, weight, hometown and even there academic major. I remember one player having a major of playground. I saw that about three times and then after that they never showed it again. I tried to point it out to my wife but they never showed it again.
In the spring, around graduation time the Omaha paper puts out a whole section if the sunday paper devoted to students who achieve academic excellence. You’ll see page after page of students from around not only Omaha but from Southwest Iowa who are the best of their classes and yes they even list the school of choice for each student. It shines that spotlight on those students who sparkle both on and off the field.
I guess if more attention was paid to the academic side of student life there would be no more “basket weaving” majors in college sports. In reality people don’t fill 100K seat stadiums to watch someone study for an organic chemistry exam.
and as walter cronkite used to say “and thats the way it is”.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

Reminds me of a great little show – “Eureka”
We have the same thing at the school where I teach! The top 10% of students are on the auditorium stage and all announce in turn where they’re attending, sometimes with the college caps or t-shirts as props. This should catch on!
