What the hell kind of site is this?

For starters, it's crap. This site is total crap, so don't expect much because I'm an idiot. This site is my sketch book, my side project and my feeble attempt to connect with other talentless idiots.

Here, I post my pitiful political cartoons, funny videos made by people far more talented than I am, weird news stories, boring rants about Democrats and the Republican Party, weak observations about freedom of religion and other concepts I only barely understand, and lots of other crap. I guess the key point to take away from this is that most of what you'll find here is total crap.

I think I might surprise and probably disappoint some of my readers here, but I really don't sympathize with the young man who found himself at the center of a police dogpile at the University of Florida's recent Kerry speech. For starters, he's fine. The young man is unharmed, and he's become a martyr of sorts because of this, even drawing the support of the ACLU to his defense, and so he's doing fine.

I'm a strong believer in free speech, obviously, and I think free speech rights have eroded under President Bush, but I also believe Andrew Meyer, 21, went much too far to prove his point, so far that his underlying point about free speech was lost, and that the reaction by security to his eratic, potentially dangerous behavior was understandable.

This is NOT a free speech issue, although that's what many choose to believe. The young man -- who, BTW, has a history of taping his own practical jokes -- could have said his piece without going as far as he did. He put other people at risk with his behavior and endangered not only the safety of the officers but the safety of the other students in the room as well.

Just my take on it. I'm sure many will disagree.

Ain't that the truth! We should hold a press conference, swanny, and tase each other on camera for publicity. We could say we're doing it to support freedom of speech through shared suffering.
