I thought I was going to agree with this. After all, I don't like Las Vegas. I really, really, really don't like Las Vegas.
But this lefto-fascist doesn't think it should be allowed to exist. Because she knows, given her privileged status as a sociologist, what fun really is.
Many people like Las Vegas. This prof and I do NOT like Las Vegas. Why am I unthreatened by this, when she wants to call in tanks? Also, one does have to like the final comparison, where our teacher compares LV to the worst thing in the world: Suburbia!

A GREAT New Idea! Get 'Em at Their Wedding!
So....an idea that our own Homerland Securitation folks can use.
Just "receive" (or fabricate) a totally baseless anonymous tip that a wedding is a "sham." You can easily tell a sham wedding, I suppose, because there will be no large gathering of friends and family from around the world; too expensive.
Of course, when it turns out that there IS a large gathering of friends and family from around the world...no biggie! It means you can strip search all the guests and demand "yo papiss, plis!" If there are 100 or so of those nasty, dusky slant-eyed furriners there, surely a few won't have the proper documentation. Hand-cuff 'em, hold them indefinitely, and then deport them! It's fun, and your prison-industrial complex can hire up those surplus unemployed union members as guards. Everybody wins.
And then the police can go back to their nice white guy houses, secure in the knowledge that they have put the hammer down on some brown/yellow/who-knows-what-if- you-don't-strip-search-them, aliens.

My favorite short poems about prison
Prison Ball
They don't negotiate if you are held
Hostage. Don't attempt to take a charge.
If you find a point guard who'll pass the rock,
Help him escape. Let him fastbreak at large.
-Sherman Alexie
Christmas in Prison
It was Christmas in prison
and the food was real good.
We had turkey and pistols
carved out of wood.
-John Prine

Easley: It Just Doesn't Make Any Sense
The two best reporters on state politics in NC are Laura Leslie and Rob Christensen. And since Gov. Easley yesterday pled guilty (sort of; Alford plea) to a felony, it was time to check in.
I got to talk to Laura, which was fun. She's really great. Great voice, knows everyone, very fair. And I got to say, "It just doesn't make any sense!" How profound.
And this morning I got to read this piece by Rob C. Exactly right, again very fair, to the point.
Makes me proud to be North Carolinian. Two really first rate reporters. Plus, Rob wrote the BEST book on North Carolina political history. I use parts of it in class. A very fun read, with a nice balance between personalities and good research.
On the LL side of the ledger, Laura is a blogger, and she tweets, from @LauraLeslie. Finally, though, and I mean this in a purely paternal way of course: Laura is somewhat cuter than Rob.
