You know there’s a prosecutor somewhere in Maryland who is going to be telling this story at Bar Association mixers for the rest of his life: Accepting a plea bargain that her attorney described as unprecedented in American jurisprudence, a 22-year-old Maryland woman yesterday agreed to cooperate in the prosecution of other defendants [...]

Someone got the bright idea to translate an episode of Cribs from whatever language the Ying-Yang Twis were speaking into honest-to-goodness English. The result is hilarious. If the video isn’t big enough to read the words on the bottom, you’re missing out. Once you’re done laughing at the translation, watch it again to get a feel [...]

Here’s a giant list of things you should have already seen on the internet: YouShouldHaveSeenThis.com. There were five or ten things on that list that I hadn’t seen before, like George Lucas in Love.

I’m not sure that this will ever be anything but rhetoric, though: he urged states to develop standards “that don’t simply measure [...]

Today’s gold star is actually not here on PeteHoliday.com but over at Roll Bama Roll where I wrote 1,700 words on the latest NCAA infractions nonsense. I will say that the authors at RBR have this infractions case locked down . . . pretty much every detail, from every conceivable angle is covered at length. The [...]

I think the Atlanta Journal-Constitution needs a new headline editor. A few weeks ago they proclaimed “MARTA to run less trains on MLK holiday,” now they’re heralding a local hospital building at $35 facility: Hell, at that price why not get two? I mean, honestly, how hard is proof-reading these things?

I seldom talk about basketball because, Indiana University degree notwithstanding, I don’t follow it very closely. That said, this has got to be one of the most aggravating minor recruiting violations in recent memory, in any sport: According to the report, when assistant coach Roshown McLeod left a voice mail for Muniru on Oct.

If you do not read Stuff White People Like, you are missing out. While it is another example of the kind of thing that could never be written about most other races here in the U.S., it is still hilarious. Here’s an excerpt from today’s new post: Much like virtually everything else that white [...]
