Kay wearing a wing

So, I'm sitting here at work, wearing a blondish wig, heels and other high-fashion accessories, with eight babies on my hip, randomly yelling out, "JON!!! A little help over here!!! Gaaaaahhhh!!!"

Can you guess who I'm dressed up as for Halloween????

If you watch (or read about) TLC's reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8," then I bet you have a good idea. Yep! I'm supposed to be Kate Gosselin.



Guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I ended up finding 16 doll-babies at my house last night (Babycakes is SUCH a girl, right?!), which will help another co-worker with her Halloween costume for our contest at work: "Octo-Mom." LOL!

I surprised Ron and Amy at Mix 96 (96.1 FM) studio when I walked in as "Kate" for my Friday bit on the morning show. It was hilarious! If you missed the show, here's the link to the audio: http://www.qctimes.com/promo/homepage/audio_46314c6e-c569-11de-aefa-001cc4c03286.html

My friend, Melissa Coulter, sits right beside me here at work, and she's dressed up as Cleopatra. Very impressive costume that she made herself! Check out our TwitPic together here: http://twitpic.com/ninf9

Did you dress up for Halloween at work today?

This moment may be unprecedented — Rice falling short is not

In many ways, the current landscape of American higher education is unprecedented. Sweeping cuts to federal research funding, overt government efforts to control academic departments and censor campus protests and arbitrary arrests and visa revocations have rightly been criticized as ushering in the latest iteration of fascism.
