The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

Reminder that you still can vote for the 2008 NARN First Team Loon of the Year. Polls will close tomorrow during the NARN First Team show when we will announce the results LIVE on the air. We will be LIVE tomorrow from 11am-1pm looking back on the year in lunacy. Listen to us LIVE locally on AM1280 or LIVE on the internet stream.

A couple of years ago, I noted with some disdain that some transplanted cheeseheads allowed their son to wear a Packers jersey to Christmas Mass. This year's Mass was green and gold free as far as I could see, but there was another case on inappropriate clothing selection.

A cherub-faced youth of around twelve was sporting a t-shirt. Since it was all of eight degrees that evening it seemed like a poor choice from a weather standpoint. And it was not just any plain Jane t-shirt. Its front advertised one of the best selling rock albums of all time: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. There are many venues where such a shirt would be perfectly in place. Church during Christmas Eve Mass is not one of them. You're supposed to be their parents not their friends people.
