Riots, nuns and bunnies
Yes, I realize the readership has declined. No, this fact won't stop me from rambling endlessly with emotionally driven rock n' roll type writing, as I call it. Please refer to it as the same. This writing will be almost on par with the writing of the local school newspapers.
Riots have recently consumed the French cityscape. Why? Attempted labor attacks, the hoodlums claim. The riots have been lightly publicized, and what has been publicized is that the rioters are mosly despair immigrant teenagers looking for a car to burn and that they've settled down a lot since last week. I sure that to a certain extent the former report is true. Parallel: the Hell's Angels in the '60s - nearly every riot was attributed to them, and in each case, the statistics were greatly distorted to make it appear that they were terrible barbarians with a taste for rape and had bludgeoning via chain. Again, some of this was true, but mostly a few incidences were true and then trumped up by media in a general effort to scare the public into crushing them. The opposite effect is obvious here: soften the appearance of social unrest (ahh, it's no big deal), to prevent people from joining and starting their own riots, sit-ins, strikes, and shut-downs elsewhere. Like Burt Reynolds said in Smokey and the Banditm "It's fun to partake in these types of activities, and plus, you get to smash some glass."
UW-Madison has been ranked the #1 party school by Playboy. McGill was ranked #10. We are in good company.
A guy spoke at the business hall yesterday from the New York Times and reported that class differences are narrowing. How does he know? More people are using cell phones and traveling on jets, and people in Appalachia play golf. Howeve, he does concede that wage increases have not matched inflation for some 30 years and that education is becoming less and less affordable. Stained class. The division is so large now that nobody knows what the fuck they are. Many can't wear their class on their sleeves because 1) sleeves are expensive and 2) most foreign made sleeves are to cheap to even wash let alone write on them with powerful solvent-based markers.
The Badger Herald is not funny and shouldn't try to be. For April Fool's Day they produced a gag issue. The Herald, in all of its conservative glory, at least can be said to hold a mostly fair position of having open forum discussion on issues, however, they also terribly exaggerate "liberal" views and take full advantage of their medium. Anyway, I really wanted to talk about their stupid "funny" paper that you simply can't pull off in a city where The Onion was created. They had a mock interview with Chuck Norris (including references to sites like this one). They also doctored up some funny photographs and other performed some other funny tricks. What would have been funny is having an article showing Daryn Beckstrom in dirty, sick pornagraphic postitions of submission, doctored photograph or not. Or maybe story on how having a loud moped means that you have a really quiet insecurities about your ability. Maybe a funny story about how most of the regular column writers were raised on the sweet sounds of Eddie Money... "I wanna go back, go back, and do it all over... just like Ronnie said." Or better yet, they could avoid all embarrassment by just not making the attempt.
So, their you have it, the top 5 stories of the times. I may be a real shit for brains, but wrtiting this is better than having my raw flesh consumed by that starving pack of cats outside of my door. You are a starving cat... an ugly starving, sickly kittie, and nothing more. Good day-

hey fiestawizard... i'm glad you don't mind the sound of one hand clapping, because i'm just catching up on your last 4 posts! sorry. i'm posting this comment BEFORE i read this one.
The readership will be built from the ground up. My dog just attacked a little weiner dog and all I could do was stand and stare at the little runt squirm and run under a pipe. Good move Chico, it may have saved your one-eyed existence. My brain is paralyzed; I've used it dead and now I can't think. I will be rewarded in the afterlife... or no?
Oh, yeah, now I'm going to try to beat the game Trojan. It's the hardest fucking game of all time.
