F the Cambridge Police
i just heard (in a televised phone interview) Officer Crowley (of the Cambridge Police, who arrested Professor Gates) say (in reference to arresting Gates on his own property) "I treat everyone the same."
ok, so maybe he's not a rascist; maybe he's just a shitty cop.
how would you like it if you can't say what you want on your own property (to a cop or to anyone) -- that you might be arrested for it?
maybe the gun people are right -- maybe more people should carry guns and not let the police (who all carry guns themselves) push us around so much.
[at least i can still say what i want on my blog. hopefully i won't have to some up with bail.]

blog vs Facebook
have been Facebooking a lot lately; no blog entries. much more social & small-talkish, but hey; who am i to blow against the wind? ;-)
parakeets quiet tonight. fresh seed and water. little do they know their impending changes. (more later.)
happy summer, all.

goodbye, bad Miss California; hello, good!
yay! --Donald Trump finally gets rid of Carrie Prejean as Miss California and welcomes Tami Farrell into the position.
turns out it was her unwillingness to perform contractual obligations that got her canned, rather than her gross prejudices (blanket opposition to gay marriage) or racy modeling photos; but i say 'good riddance to bad rubbish' anyway.
here's a NY Times link:

(you see, I'M somewhat prejudiced against people with such outspoken prejudices; and i'm also unwilling to be silent and not say 'hah, hah' when they get their comeuppance. c'est dommage.)
