Imus is a loser

Last year I went to the LSU-Rutgers womens basketball game, at Rutgers. It was a great game, although LSU lost. This year, Rutgers beat them again. Rutgers is a state university where athletics have long been unable to compete effectively on a national level. They are just starting to come into their own in recent years. Last year, when Rutgers played LSU, they sold out their basketball stadium for the first time ever. The Rutgers football team did unexpectedly well last year as well. Maybe, one day the students will even learn how to tailgate. The students are very proud of their recent athletic success. Rutgers is also a very ethnically diverse university and are proud of their integration and acceptance of all types of people. There is no room at Rutgers for intolerant talk and abusive language.

For now, Rutgers is national news thanks to Don Imus' trash talk of the womens basketball players. I'm glad to see that Imus is not being allowed to get away with this disrespectful, rude, hurtful language. There is no place for radio announcers that are bigots, are mean, play on racial stereotypes, and demean our proud college athletes.

Tax Cut

I've been doing my taxes with Tax Cut and have been pretty pleased with the software except for one thing - it is incompatible with my wireless router. When you buy tax software in a box you have to go update the software or it won't work, and, the software can't communicate through the router. This seems like a pretty amateur mistake to me, and required talking to someone at Tax Cut on the phone to get a working link sent to me that I could download. So, don't wait till the last minute, or you may be sorry. At least for now, the wait time was minimal on the tech support line and the transaction was relatively non-painful.
