Beginning today, the first day of April, Off on a Tangent
will become Katie Johnson's personal website. This change comes as
Scott Bradford -- who has managed the site since it began in 1995 --
transitions to a position as senior editor of Intersanity.com.
Katie
is a 13 year old student at Langston Hughes Middle School in Reston,
Virginia, and is expected to increase editorial focus on pop-culture
and local gossip. Katie retains ownership of all previous Off on a Tangent
content, but is expected to purge most socio-political items (in
addition to remaining items specific to Scott) in the coming weeks.
Scott will remain on Off on a Tangent
staff to advise and assist Katie until April 15, 2006, and he and Katie
will both contribute content during this transition period. Effective
April 15, the site's URL will change to http://katie.eeltank.com.

So
like I go to teh mall with Janie& Kiera, and it was like dead.
there was nobody there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a total waste of time and
we were totally borrrrrrrrredddd.
so we decided 2 go to the
dollar theater and we watched "Big Mommas House 2". .. it was k, but
not so great. But we saw some guys from school that were pretty
cuuueteeee! One of them looked just like Ace on Amerrican Idol & he
is so dreamy :)))
My dad watches Idol - don't know why, and he
likes Taylor. He's okay I guess, but so wierd!! I really want Ace to
win. Paris is k too.
anyways thats all for now. I need to work
onn the website and get rid of all this stupid stuff about Scott. UGh,
none of it is about important stuff that real people wantto read! Its
all stupid politics and stuff, and all these stupid pictures &
articles "es & crap have GOT 2 GO.

Today, the first day of April,
George Mason University announced that it will no longer offer any
academic classes or degree programs, instead focusing entirely on its
growing sports program. This move has GMU following in the footsteps of
other Virginia universities like Virginia Tech and the University of
Virginia.
"With our basketball team in the final four for the
first time in history, now is a perfect time to announce this shift in
focus," said University President Alan Merten. "It's important for us
to adapt to America's diminishing interest in education and learning,
and this is an excellent way for us to continue to justify our
existence."
All students in current GMU academic programs are
being instructed by school officials to either complete their degrees
before the end of the year, join a GMU sports team, or transfer to an
expensive private school that still values academic study.

Today, the first day of April,
fourteen were killed and hundreds injured in riots over a controversial
Snoopy cartoon published yesterday in several U.S. newspapers. The
cartoon, which Off on a Tangent has chosen not to print, depicted the cartoon dog engaged in a sex act with Lucy.
Following publication of the cartoon in the New York Times
and other major newspapers, angry American citizens -- including many
followers of radical Christian televangelists -- took to the streets,
beating atheists and moderates who had turned out in support of free
speech.
"This is a sad day," said Jerry Falwell, a prominent
Christian leader. "It is a truly sad day when newspapers see fit to
publish such vile filth, and claim protection of 'free press' and 'free
speech.' Followers of Jesus must stand up for what is right, and bring
a righteous vengeance upon those who draw and publish this blasphemy."
