I know, the day after I post that I won’t be here, I find this (strong language warning) over at Rachel Lucas’s blog. This was simply too funny to not reblog.

This is a scene from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the faux-news show on Comedy Central. They took a patronizing look at the protesters in Berkeley, California, who are trying to shut down the Marine recruiting center. My favorite exchange comes starting at 3:12…

Code Pink Feather Boa’d Protester (CPFBP) - It is our responsibility, as the public, to shut this station down, to shut this recruiting station down.
Another Code Pink Protester - Code Pink stands for free speech.
CPFBP - It’s very important to protect free speech, and so we clearly have the right to be here.
Rob Riggle, Reporter - If only there was an organization that was sworn to defend that free speech!
CPFBP - Wouldn’t that be great?
Rob - That would be outstanding, right?

Sorry I haven’t been around here much - it’s certainly not been for lack of things to talk about. Every day, I’ll see or hear something that’s just begging for a-blogging, but I’ve been rather busy. Here in Albuquerque, NM, there’s a community-based project called Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition, where we are going to share our abundance with those who need it. Our biggest focus is going to be an area of town affectionately known as the “War Zone.” I am working with them, managing the public web site, as well as developing an interactive database application for the leaders to use to manage the resources needed to make this effort a success. I’ll be back here once April rolls around.

Happy Easter!
