Ritual Aprons
Wendy recently got this neato apron for joining her secret scrapbooking society. Compare to George Washington’s Masonic apron.
Wish I could get in on this whole apron business… maybe I’ll have to bake some cookies.
Alex Jones manhandled and arrested on trumped-up charges by NYPD!
Last night in New York City, a big monster cop raced into a crowd of demonstrators during an early street action for the 9/11 anniversary, specifically singling out documentary filmmaker and popular talk show host, Alex Jones, and handcuffed him with extreme prejudice and excessive grunting, nearly chopping the media activist’s hands off. The entire incident was broadcast on the Times Square “Jumbotron,” which happened to be displaying a Fox News segment covering the arrest hosted by mustachioed anchor man and consummate slimeball, Heraldo Rivera, who chortled and mocked the protesters, while the NYPD flagrantly violated their First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceable assembly.
Alex Jones’ “Endgame” trailer released…
Update 10/05/2007
The new “official” trailer is out, much slicker…
Papers Please: Arrested At Circuit City
One of my pet peeves: receipt and bag checks upon leaving big-box retail stores. Here’s yet another story of a guy unlawfully detained for refusing to kowtow to a rent-a-cop. Worse, when he called the real police for help he was unlawfully arrested for refusing to show his drivers license to the responding officer (something he was not legally required to do). Definitely a guy trying to make a point. He should sue the responding officer personally for violating his civil rights. I’m glad there are people out there willing to do this, while most of the rest of us meekly obey “the authorities.”
Update 9/21/07
Yay! All charges were dropped against this guy!
