| Thursday, November 20, 2008  Friday Morning Coffee - ASU opens for students, Obama opens local office and it's time to move past Michigan by BooneWeb Blogger (posted: 8/22/08) Glancing at some Friday morning headlines as we wonder what took so long.
Friday is Move-In Day at ASU. Enjoy the traffic!
Western North Carolina fall color report. Comes with a, uh, gentle plea to visitors.
New ASU housing facility put on hold. 'All five council members agreed the new housing unit is needed for the university, but many didn’t agree with the process by which ASU approached the issue.' (This link made possible by the Ad Council and this station)
Lawsuit against Blowing Rock under way in Superior Court. The basis for the legal argument is 'the lack of warning signage and proper safety barriers.' (And look, how cute, the local paper(s) is accepting comments again. How bloggy!)
Aerial, foot searches turn up no sign of Amber Pennell. 'Search crews on the ground and in the air spent Thursday trying to locate a 21-year-old mother of two who never showed up at her home after leaving work Wednesday night.'
Boone Obama HQ grand opening Aug. 22. Just one of many across these 57 states.
How many homes does John McCain have? This just in, Republican candidate is rich and owns several homes. (Doesn't that make him a multiple victim of the housing 'crisis'?)
Young voter registration still lags. What happened to all those new voters excited by 'change'?
Sick!... Obama says US is just like Russia in invading countries. 'Well maybe for those that are unable to make the distinction of enforcing 17 UN mandates, toppling a tyrannical regime and liberating its people, that threatened and invaded its neighbors, that attempted to assassinate a former US President and sought to develop WMD as opposed the conquest for control of all oil supply to Europe. Then yeah it would appear to be no different.'
Pay no attention to the argument behind the curtain. 'There’s been 17 ACC versus App State games since 1989, all but six against Wake. In those six games, App State hung close in the two most recent.'
Attention Wal-Mart shoppers, we need a touchdown. Should make a Western Carolina fan proud.
When AE says it’s enough, then it is indeed enough. 'Nope, LSU ain’t Michigan. But AE then isn’t AE now. He’s one year older and one year faster. Can’t wait to see if he can catch a Tiger.'
IOC finally launches investigation into Chinese gymnasts thanks to "Stryde Hax". 'While every other of the 20,000 journalist covering the Beijing Olympics pranced around eating scorpions, it's a bit ironic that one extremely curious dude with a blogspot account might be the person who exposes one of the biggest scandals in Olympic history. Maybe he should get a medal too?'
