1) This article was brought to my attention yesterday, and I felt compelled to include it in this blog. Why in the world would you allow students to carry guns with them to class? It's going to be some sort of Mel Brooks movie where a crazy person pulls out a gun and is immediately surrounded by guns of all types. What legislators never seem to understand is life isn't a cartoon. You can't just do whatever you feel like and then come back to life at the end of the scene, a la Wile Coyote. Fucking founding fathers with their inability to foresee a time where the individual states wouldn't need a civilian militia, and instead use their wisdom to arm a 7 year old with an Uzi.
2) Although this puts the defending national champions in a decided disadvantage at quarterback, I agree with this move by nutjob extraordinaire, LSU head coach Les Miles. Ryan Perrilloux is and was a disruptive element and feels the rules rarely apply to him. If he was in the pros, Commissar Goodell would have had his ass in a sling months ago.
3) Ah technology! The Explainer tells us the ins-and-outs of recovering and deleting text messages. Remind me to never send sexually graphic text messages while I am the under indictment mayor of a major metropolitan city. Just as a reminder.
4) I've gotta tell you, I look at these things everyday (mostly) and The New York Times has at least one Louisiana politics story a month, possibly more. This one is about the House seat vacated by Richard Baker in the Baton Rouge area. Gov. Bobby Jindal was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and made the joke that in the past Louisiana was half under water and half under indictment. He was funny and did a good job of selling the state. I just thought that as funny.
5) Now this is how you deal with a situation in a classy way. The DC Madam dealt with her sentence in the proper manner. She didn't go blowing her brains out making a mess for someone else to clean up. She hung herself in a clean fashion, and that's just proper manners. Good on you, ma'am.
6) I am not going to lie to you: I am excited to see Iron Man. I never read comics as a kid, but I enjoy superhero movies. I think it's encoded into my Y chromosome. And this guy looks like a badass, so I will go visit my local multiplex and take in a show.
Well, that's about it. I leave you with the Lee Elia tirade from 1983. It's the most amazing thing I have heard and I listen to it all the time. Please please please use headphones if you are at work, considering every third word (literally!!!) is fuck. Enjoy:
