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."

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

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.

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

An early draft script named "Bush", anyway.

How to Protest the Olympic Torch Relay

So you think China is evil, and want to protest the Olympics. But you don't want to leave home. Well, that isn't too much of a problem if the torch relay is going through your city, just grab that mother and put it out. failing that, attack it with a freaking fire extinguisher. Or just wait for the French, they'll put it out three times before the authorities just let it stay out and put it back on the bus.
