Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I haven't seen that but, just from the title, it sounds like an American "Ladettes to Ladies"!!!

Kind of. It's Mo'Nique teaching the girls from Flavor of Love how to behave. (Step 1 was to get rid on the nicknames. Step 2 was to try to encourage teamwork.)

I found it interesting that this show mentioned a lot more about their real lives than most other reality shows I've seen. Like, most of them were talking about how much of a huge difference the $50,000 prize would make in their lives, one was saying how she hoped that being on this show would give her the self-confidence to stop smoking weed. Just about all of them said something like, "My mother was really embarassed by me on Flavor of Love, so I hope I can make her proud on this show."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So they're no longer saying it was two separate shootings? with two separate gunmen?

They think it was just the one gunman. Two locations for the shooting: the dorm, where 1 person was killed, and the engineering building.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"But I'm pretty outraged and I'll say on the record I'm pretty outraged that someone died in a shooting in a dorm at 7 o'clock in the morning and the first e-mail about it — no mention of locking down campus, no mention of canceling classes — they just mention that they're investigating a shooting two hours later at 9:22."

He added: "That's pretty ridiculous and meanwhile, while they're sending out that e-mail, 22 more people got killed."

If this is true it's inexcusable.

And I guess he went to Krispy Kreme for breakfast or something between the killings.

If it's true, Va. Tech. is going to be up to its eyeballs in lawsuits.

Now tagless for your comfort.

According to a student on Time.com, they were locked down in their dorm at 8 a.m. The lockdown was lifted for some reason and then the guy struck a second time.

I think a 2+ hour delay of email notification is inexcusable, but I also think it's totally plausible at a college campus. I could see that happening here: bureaucracy, bad communication, early morning, people authorized to make decisions between their home and office...

I have been thinking for a couple of hours that it would be really hard to notify everybody and lock down the campus if something like that happened here at 7am. I mean, a lot of people would be asleep until 10 minutes before a 9:30 class.
