Those of you who are not Pfohosers will probably not find Cross’ speech very interesting, but you probably will enjoy watching this. In “The Hapless Kirklandite,” the skit that followed Cross’ presentation, our House Master Nicholas A. Christakis rushed onto the stage in a polar bear suit and began pseudo-attacking two faux Kirkland students...
...during the investigation into Kebble's death that the hapless Agliotti's relationship with Selebi emerged. Selebi, who was the country's first black police chief, once said of Agliotti that he was "my friend, finish and klaar [done]." The two men now appear to be estranged.

With unemployment hovering around 30%, it's not easy for folks in the Motor City to shell out a few hundred bucks to attend a game and cheer on the first team in NFL history to finish the season 0-16, as the Lions did last year. So it's no surprise that the Lions are having trouble selling out their 65,000-seat stadium. But should laid...
