   Yesterday, you will recall, the spaceship-that-coincidentally-looks-a-lot-like-a-cat narrowly missed being torpedoed by the Enterprise looking ship...

To Catch A Predator, and Show Them on National Television
   That show, To Catch a Predator, on NBC (and not anyone who's watched it knows for certain its NBC that its on since they slip it in every chance they get) -- I can't help but watch it and think, the "predators" NEVER have their faces blurred out. We all know for even the most innocuous purposes all subjects to unexpected video-ing have their faces blurred out when televised. And so, I can't help but watch "To Catch a Prisoner" and be exceedingly suspicious that the "predators" are getting some kind of compensation in return for permission to be shown on television (which I would imagine would have to be VERY compelling compensation.). Discuss.
   Also, Kristy & I noticed that in one episode, the "predator" was wearing the exact same plastic yellow wristband as the arresting police officer. We suspect this may be evidence that in fact the whole thing is entirely faked using actors or something.


Meanwhile in ASUCD
   One of ASUCD's two political parties, Focus, has apparently split in two. The new party, which takes with it most of Focus's current incumbants, is calling itself "Go." Only, they've parted with any semblance of the traditional tactic of making ones name an acronym so it'll always be capitalized (A la L.E.A.D.," AKA Lead),-- "Go" does not stand for anything, yet the party organizers wish the name to always be capitalized as "GO." I for one will not stand for this unprecedented abuse of grammar and I hope the Aggie puts its foot down on the the Gofers.


   Additionally, I neglected to mention that Steve Ostrowski actually managed to when ASUCD Supreme Court Case 41. Although he blatantly endorsed certain ASUCD electoral candidates in his AS Papers (ASUCD supported) publication, in violation of Bylaw 411B, some genius defined "endorsement" in the Bylaws as specifically "An “endorsement” shall be when a Campaign Executive receives the support of a member of the ASUCD or an authorized student organization through a signed agreement on a document titled “Endorsement Form.” [...and submitted to SGAO]."
   Clearly the intent of that was to require such a procedure to take place, but by the way its worded it clearly causes anything other than that procedure to simply not be considered an "endorsement." Though the Court adds human rationality to interpretation of bylaws, it simply cannot overcome such strongly worded a specific definition.


Meanwhile, in Space

Today's installment will be in the original doodling form from class (but colourized):

   Remember this?


From these humble beginnings (actually from a doodle in legal writing class originally), a short webcomic developed )

Anyway, I left off before I finished the original storyline I'd doodled out. I have, however, finally gotten around to continuing it!

Here's where we left off:

   Three Years Ago Today:
Diedrichs Pool Party - Second event or so in the beginnings of the best summer ever, or something. Except that I was not successful in finding the location everyone scampered off to. Also Bullets n Octane & Plain White T's play at Chain Reaction.
   Year Ago Today: Guatanamo Locker Rooms - Several recent reports of so-called "abuse" at Guatanamo Bay sound pretty silly to me: "One detainee who was believed to be leading the protest threw what an MP said smelled like water from the toilet on him. The MP tried to spray water from a hose in response, but the detainee blocked it with a mat. The guard who tried to spray the detainee was charged with assault, given a reduction in rank to private first class, which was suspended, and reassigned to other duties at Guantanamo." Another is demoting for cursing at an inmate, & watchdog groups are outraged that it (the cursing) wasn't reported up the chain of command.
