• The Weird Week in Review
  This week, the weird news appears to point toward an uprising of animals against people. Go figure. Dog Eats Crime Weapon Antonio Vasquez Jr. was arrested in Fresno, California in a bizarre burglary.

• Auburn-MSU Postgame
  Some quotes first: • Coach Sylvester Croom on the fourth-and-15 play: “I wasn’t sure we’d have a chance to get the ball back.

  Looks like I was write. Next week’s game between Mississippi State and Georgia Tech in Atlanta has been selected for the Raycom ACC broadcast.

For example: Myth # 1: "Dependence on Foreign Oil" This myth basically suggests that the problem with oil prices is due to America’s "dependence" on foreign oil. One of the worst economic myths, it plays on economic nationalism and on xenophobic feelings that are sometimes pervasive in the United…
