A couple interesting local news tidbits have emerged in recent weeks, like resilient weeds. First, OU heads plan to work with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), cheerfully supplying them the names of 15 more students who they allege had illegally downloaded songs. Then the RIAA plans to sue these not-so-high-income, ramen noodle-eating pirates for every penny they don't have. Sock it to them, RIAA!

But if you thought the crusade stopped there, just wait! For today it was announced that Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann is rounding up a posse to hunt down and find all those destitute OU alums who have defaulted on their Perkins loans, turn them upside down, shake them vigorously and hope for any loose change to fall out.

Yee-haw, Cousin Jeb! It's time for a hoe-down! Let's string 'em all up and hang 'em high!
