Graduation is fast approaching at Central High School. I may be a bit premature in my graduation column, but we are starting to work on our special graduation edition of the paper around here so it’s on my mind.

The Facebook realm is a dangerous one. No one knows that better than me. Now we can add Coffee County Commissioner Barry West to the club.

Evil dictator-in-training Kim Jong-unwas running a little short of cash and attention last week, so he announced plans to nuke the United States. The 30-year-old Lil’ Kim inherited his evi l dictating business from his dad, Kim Jong-il, who got it from his dad, Kim Il-Sung, who acquired North Korea in a hostile takeover in 1948.
