What a bad ass.

Guns on Campus

Rats, we just missed the Empty Holster Protest, where students wear empty holsters to school to protest the fact that they can't carry guns! There's a bit of a legislative effort to fix that in many states, including my own:

"Oklahoma's bill passed the House but was shelved by the Senate in the face of massive opposition by university administrators, faculty and students. Every president of the state's 25 public colleges signed onto a resolution opposing the bill."

From another article:

"Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis said Monday the bill would have allowed Timothy McVeigh, executed after being found guilty of the Oklahoma City bombing, to carry a concealed weapon on campus because he was a military veteran.University of Oklahoma President David Boren thumped a podium Monday, as he intoned, “Please, please, please,” defeat House Bill 2513.Boren said he would get down on his knees and beg the Legislature, if need be."

Yay!

IMSLP is coming back online June 1! For those of you unfamiliar with this amazing resource, it's basically WikiSources for sheet music. It is a very, very good thing.

Original composer

His music is very out there. The first track is called Dancing Speakers and it makes me wonder: what are these speakers dancing to?

Probably one of the worst productions I've ever heard...

... so of course I'm sharing it with all of you!

The best part about being a stenographer?

You're legally obligated to tell everyone in complete and accurate detail what a badass you are.

Interesting video

I can't quit explain it, but this video (and the music) is very sad, beautiful and intriging.

I hope you enjoy it. I know I did.

Michael Chertoff

Above the Law
I wonder if he wakes up in the morning thinking, "I wonder which constitutional amendment I'm going to void today."

Dick Cheney Wins

Asshole of the decade award.
"2/3 of Americans say (the Iraq War) is not worth fighting..."
"So?"
That smug little look on his face right after he says that... that's when I'd punch him.

Fox News

Is freaking... awesome...
I especially love their black guests who were possibly educated by blind KKK members.
