VIRGINIA GOVERNOR EMERGING AS OBAMA’S TOP VP CHOICE
According to multiple sources, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine appears to be taking the lead as Barack Obama’s vice presidential candidate. Kaine is a former Richmond mayor and could help swing Virginia, a key battleground state.
My take: So Obama really isn’t going to select Hillary? Look at the reader’s comments at the bottom of this ABC blog; I knew the pro-Hillary folks were upset, but will they really not vote for Obama if he doesn’t pick Hillary as his VP candidate?
IS YOUR SCHOOL ONE OF THE BEST?
The Princeton Review has released its annual list of top colleges, which measures all sorts of things from happiest students to top party school (wouldn’t that be the same list?). The happiest students are at Clemson, while the best party school is the University of Florida. The “greenest” campus is Arizona State, while the best classroom experience is at Stanford.
My take: Surprisingly, there were no North Carolina universities in the top 10 of the lists I saw. And I thought all you ECU and UNC-W kids were the top partiers?
SIRIUS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF XM
The Federal Communications Commission approved the merger of Sirius Satellite and XM radio last week and Sirius announced a few minutes ago that the deal was complete.
My take: Oh, blessed day! Soon, Sirius subscribers (like myself) will have MLB and ACC basketball while you dirty XM subscribers (like Randy Capps) will have NFL and your inane soccer.

No, but we are currently leading the list in attempted break-ins and armed robberies.
At least we’re No. 1 in something.

Yeah, it’s pissing me off. ECU should have their asses kicked for outsourcing financial aid to Higher One.

I don’t mind higher one it’s just the whole office. It takes 7-10 days to scan stuff in? WTF?!? Then just because i left a 0 of of a form that help me up and then FAFSA office tok like 2 weeks to send it back saying it was fine.
Can we get pros working in the Fin Aid office instead of these people that don’t know anything and just reads what the computer pops up?

What’s cool about the merger is that folks can order things both services a la carte.
That’s going to be awesome, even if it means buying another radio.
