While the Alligator certainly has problems of its own at the moment, they obviously pale in comparison to the horrible incident at “The Dark Knight Rises” premiere in Aurora, Colo., last week. That brings us to this week’s our-thoughts-go-out-to-everyone-affected-by-this-tragedy edition of...
Following the theater shooting last week, the media rushed to explain who James Holmes, the suspected shooter, is and why he did what he did. That’s why we’re tossing a perhaps-you-should-do-more-investigating-than-a-simple-Google-search DART to ABC Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross, who suggested that the suspect might be connected to the Colorado Tea Party after finding a Jim Holmes on the list.
First isn’t always best, Mr. Ross.
Next, we present a remember-when-a-movie-ticket-was-less-expensive-than-a-meal-at-The-Swamp LAUREL to the 327 members of the House of Representatives who voted in favor of Ron Paul’s “Audit the Fed” bill, which proposes to shed some light on what goes on behind the closed doors of the Federal Reserve System.
Although the Fed was chartered by the government in 1913 and its governor is chosen by the government, the Fed is ultimately a private entity, though not a market-driven one since it has been given monopoly control over the money supply.
It will be good to see what Ben Bernanke and his cronies have been up to if this bill passes the Senate and is signed by the president.
For being more disgusting than words can describe we throw a oh-wait-how-about-sick-twisted-perverted-pedophiles DART to the seven Alachua County men arrested on suspicion of soliciting minors for sex during an Internet sex sting.
Gross.
To wish them luck, we give a way-to-represent LAUREL to the UF Fightin’ Gator Marching Band, which will be performing before the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
You’re not only representing UF, you’re representing the Southeastern Conference and America! No pressure.
For being incredibly impractical and annoying, we throw a maybe-a-quick-search-of-the-academic-calendar-wouldn’t-hurt DART at the apartment complexes making their tenants move out by July 31, more than a week before the end of Summer B/C.
Common sense escapes some people.
Finally, we give a thank-you-so-much-for-your-support-and-spreading-the-word LAUREL to our supporters. To everyone who has signed our petition and spread awareness about our Save The Racks campaign, we sincerely thank you.
If we are able to work everything out, it will be because of your help.
Have a fun and safe weekend, and be sure to check back next week.
