Could we bump this to the top of the FR activism section?

[Interesting Times]

Very nice.

[Constitution Day]

Yes, exactly.

[Constitution Day]

I e-mailed Jerry Agar... thanks for your help, Howlin.

[Constitution Day]

One last BUMP before I go home...

[DC native]

FEAR THE TURTLE!

[Howlin]

I'm listening to see if he talks about it.

[vbmoneyspender]

LOL.

Here's some theme music to go with your post

[Bernard Marx]

Nannerl?????? Nannerl??????????????? Did his parents hate him?

His Mom's name was probably Nancy and his Dad's Earl.

Nanner, nanner, nanner!!!

I emailed NC Spin to see if they thought it was interesting, or whether they planned to wait until UNC one-upped Duke with someone REALLY good, like John Walker Lindh.

[Howlin]

For the love of gawd, do NOT give them any ideas!

You made me LOL though.

[Interesting Times]

Maybe they could borrow one of the DC snipers to speak at graduation...

[Argus]

Exactly.

[billhilly]

Lets be sure there are no rebel flags around to offend this honey when she shows up. Things that offend her go boom!

Follow the money. How much does this ding a ling get for speaking? $500? $2000?

Duke isn't alone either.

The AA depratment at Brown had her speaking last April

I'm searching for other universities that fund domestic terrorism.

[Overtaxed]

They spelled Dook wrong.

It isn't clear yet whether she's getting paid, but I'd expect that information to emerge in the course of the freep...

[Right Wing Professor]

...and look at this little nugget. She bombs the Capitol building, so Cynthia McKinney and the great patriots of the Congressional Black Caucus ask her back for a meeting. (Wonder if they searched her beforehand).
