Ball swings, but missesK-ball is a brilliant writer but his knowledge of bad movies is severely lacking. Jodie Foster was the ravishing lead in “Panic Room,” not Helen Hunt. Helen Hunt could never pull off such a demanding role. I mean, they’re in the room, the bad guys are outside. They’re out of the room, the bad guys are fighting, and I’m getting myself all worked up just thinking about it. For the love of God don’t forget her asthma medication, Jodie.Enjoyed the column K-Ball.

“Family Matters” mattersDid anyone else notice that the ABC Family lineup changed?!This is an outrage. “Boy Meets World” comes on earlier. “Family Matters” is gone. Everything is different!! How dare they do this! I know thousands of other students at this fantastic University, along with many other schools as well, who rely heavily on this lineup to get us through the afternoon, keep us from our school work and give us the light and hope we so desperately need to overcome the trials of our semesters. What can we do about this?! Tell your parents! Write your congressman! Fax the President!Go online and tell ABC Family! Act now, concerned students!

Confrontation with litter bug

The other day on the public walking trail a younger and larger man than me blatantly tossed a couple of chewing gum wrappers on the ground in front of me.Without much thinking I hollered, ÒHey, hey, hey!ÓHe didnÕt recognize me.Then he stopped to tie his shoe, and I held my tongue and walked past him.A little apprehensive about him behind me, I turned around and met him with the question, ÒHey, man why did you litter?ÓHe answered, ÒDo you ask others that you see litter the same question?ÓÒI donÕt see others litter out here, but I would if I saw them,Ó I replied.Then I told him that I had seen him on the trail before and thought he was too nice to litter.I walked away and starting thinking about his question.I witness smokers everywhere toss their non-biodegradable fire-hazard butts and donÕt confront them.This young man checked me. Do you confront ÒallÓ who litter?
