Excuse of the Day

Border agents: NY man says ankle monitor for Lohan - Yahoo! News: "Border agents say a New York man tried to explain away the ankle monitor he was wearing while returning from Canada by claiming it was a show of support for actress Lindsay Lohan.

Customs and Border Protection officers say they found the bracelet around Eugene Todie's ankle July 9 after he tried to re-enter the United States using someone else's passport. They say he's on probation and not supposed to leave the country.

They say Todie told them a probation officer friend gave him the bracelet to wear for Lohan, who's had to wear an alcohol ankle monitor. Record checks showed the Buffalo man is on probation for criminal contempt."

He's from Buffalo; wonder if George knows the guy? One of his less stellar students perhaps?

The privacy statutes prevent me from commenting, Jeff. But, believe it or not, many of my students have problems going over the International Border and getting back.
