Mike Tyson’s Brunch Out

By far, my favorite episode of the Meth Minute series…

Somali Pirates = Good Guys

Now, obviously I’m not talking about the asshats who kidnapped Captain Phillips in last weekend’s widely publicized story.

But, as it turns out, the Somali Pirate movement was started as the “Volunteer Coastguard of Somalia,” in response to major EU countries dumping nuclear waste and other toxic chemicals on the shores of the recently collapsed nation.

Apparently EU dickheads have been abusing the coastal areas off Somalia for years, illegally overfishing the waters when their own fisheries became depleted and dumping waste that could not be cheaply disposed of otherwise.

Unfortunately, once the opportunity for profit came into the equation, more of the seedy elements emerged that make up most of the “newsworthy” pirate stories of recent note.

But, just like the pirates of old, their inception was just as much a reaction to tyranny and abuses of power as it was to profit motive.

So… Yo Ho Ho, and stick it in your craw, EU. Let’s give these brave boys their due.

Re-Enacting Fight Club with the Mentally Disabled

Well fun readings in a recent editorial of his are to be had, anyway. My favorite part is where he alleges that the separation between Church and State doesn’t exist. Awesome!

Revisionist history, even unto its innermost…?

But I swear thats what happened!

But I swear that's what happened!

Fortunately Brandeis came to its senses about the Rose Museum kerfuffle a few weeks ago, but alumni just got a message from the president which was intended to “clear up some of the misconceptions surrounding these issues.”  I only bring it up here briefly because I get annoyed when other factors–meteors, locusts, a terrible flood–get blamed for something instead of the real culprit, in this case the administration itself.

Brandeis remembers its motto.

…since we’re doing the debate metaphor, I thought I’d finish with my “rebuttal” speech.  But since Jehuda ended up “punting” (though not surprisingly and unlike Storey, I applaud him for it), I figure there’s no reason to go through some big point by point refutation.  I’ll just make three final statements:

And the Furious Backfilling Begins.

Run away!  Run away!!

Run away! Run away!!

Before Storey and I continue our pleasant little war, it appears Brandeis has already ended the debate, while pretending the sides weren’t the right ones to begin with.  From Jehuda Reinharz to the Brandeis community today:
