Snowboarder Shaun White wins second gold in halfpipe. Even if you think snowboarders should pull up their pants, his rendition of new jump, the Whitesnake, was pretty amazing.

Speaking of Olympics pants, check out the Norwegian curling team's trousers.

As of this morning, state legislature has not agreed to a budget; New Mexico will be run on the coupon system.

Schools toying with idea of allowing students to graduate two years early.

With health insurance companies wanting to raise rates by percentages in the double digits (not to mention their record profits), Obama administration raises the Not Cool flag.

A 12-year-old girl is arrested in New York City for doodling on her desk about how much she loves her friends.

Another kid got detention for being a Michael Scott fan.

A Rio Rancho teen suspended for getting jumped. Jesus, schools.

NBC has a lockdown on Olympics clips, so you really do have to go to their site, but it's worth seeing.

He's ridiculous [ Thu Feb 18 2010 11:54 AM ]

I like how he won the gold before even attempted a 2nd run, but decided to give it a go anyway for the fans, and ended up getting a better score on the second run thanks to that trick.

hey saltsucker [ Fri Feb 19 2010 1:02 PM ]

what will you be wearing as you curl?
as an aside- you know you're getting old when what you wore as a fashion the first time around is what hipsters are wearing now. i can safely say that if i see a guy wearing big 80's glasses he's too young for me. i mean, i have those at home in a dusty box somewhere. and i wore them before he had hair under his pits.
i would feel like an idiot if i wore what the kids think is hip now considering i have the original in my closet somewhere. that would kind of make me a cougar hipster.
