Best hoops walk-on ever?
Not that I agree with the assessment, but one of the University of Kentucky basketball broadcasters said that it was his opinion that Ravi Moss, a guard/forward on the current team, is the greatest walk-on ever.
Can anyone out there give me other candidates? I don't think that this would include players who were on football scholarships, like a Julius Peppers from North Carolina, but rather true walk-ons, guys who play basketball without an athletic scholarship.

Haze the Cat?
This is Haze. Obviously, he is a cat.
But Haze thinks he's a dog. The only animals he ever saw at his original home were rottweilers, and he just wanted to blend in with the crowd. The home where he lives now has a dog, too.
Haze hates cats. If he sees one, he will attempt to kill it. He believes that's the duty of a dog.
This causes the dog in his new home, Moxie, much confusion. Moxie doesn't know how to react to a cat that thinks it's a dog licking her face and ears.

FOX errs with 'Arrested Development' decision
I am very disappointed to hear that FOX has effectively put Arrested Development on cancellation notice, having cut its season 3 order and putting the show on hiatus.
This was a truly hilarious, excellently-written, unique comedy that mocked the wealthy white comminity with no fear. Every cast member, from David Cross to the guest stars like Scott Baio and Henry Winkler were hilarious, and Ron Howard's narration deserves some sort of award. Jason Bateman just can't get a break in sitcom land.
I, like many others, hope that FOX either grows more brain cells, or another network picks it up.

Sour Grapes at the Herald Leader
The Lexington Herald Leader is so committed to advancing only one side of the issue of Kentucky American Water vs. the local government that wishes to condemn it to take the profits that I can cite two examples of how this bias has leaked out into the news department.
One, go to this address -- http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/local/13128324....
Carefully read the last two paragraphs. If you need to, read the other blog I have in this category concerning the Kentucky Supreme Court's decision. Does that sound like objective reporting? Or does that sound like a writer with a bad attitude?
Two, http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/local/ is the main page for local news via the newspaper's online website. If you scroll towards the bottom of the page, there is a section titled "Water Dispute Story Archive" As of this post, there are a lot of stories that lead up to the Kentucky Supreme Court decision about the constitutionality of the referendum, but there is no story about the resolution of this portion of the dispute. Why? The story is certainly worthy of being included, especially since all the stories that led to it have been archived. Or is it only being excluded because it flies in the face of the opinions expressed by the editorial staff?
