I’m spending the week watching Breaking Bad season’s 1-3 on Netflix and my ten and twelve year old keep watching with me. It’s riveting stuff. I keep peppering the show with, “drugs are bad”, “see what happens when you do meth?”. I think it’s working better than the DARE program.
Headed to the city to see Jon Stewart. I am very excited except for the traffic part. The tree lightening is today and Obama is in town for fundraisers. Yay traffic.
This meme, of journalists describing elected officials (or, nonsensically, municipalities) as moving to dismantle these protests because their “patience wore thin” is particularly irksome. Because, and any competent editor/reporter should know this, the right to peaceably assemble isn’t subject to the “patience” of an elected official. To describe it this way is to accept that citizens are allowed in any public space only at the sufferance of their government, and at least for now in the U.S., that simply isn’t true.
