Considering the corruption in the past, the crime then and now,
no price would be enough. I'd be safer working for KBR in Iraq. Unarmed..

;) I haven't updated my page for a while. I've been accepted to West Point, along with three congressional nominations.

I'll take your word for it. I'm kinda out of college politics as it were.

I know- I never thought it would happen. R day is June 25th- better than Christmas, in my book. It does make high school all the more frustrating though; if I could, I would be there tomorrow.

Sounds like an opportunity to me. If I were younger, and looking for a modern-day adventure, NOLA, may fit the bill.

I grew up in NO in the late 60's early 70s. It was a Tom Sawyer life for a boy if there ever was one and there is no way I'd trade those memories. Sad to know that lifestyle is gone forever.

What exactly sucked about senior year?

1. Had to take first semester at a different school. Couldn’t get his required courses, and didn’t graduate in May. Had to take a summer program back at Tulane, and they charged him an extra $15,000 or so for the one month ‘ semester’

2. The devastation in NO is worse than you see on TV. So much of what made NO a great place to visit are gone.

The same thing applies to Massachusetts, where a majority of the voters keep re-electing Hanoi Kerry and Chappaquiddick Kennedy, and New York, where they love the carpetbagger from Arkansas and The Schmuck, and California, where they keep re-electing Boxer and Feinstein, and Maine, where they keep re-electing the twin RINOs, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.
Ignorant voters elect demagogues.
