Conversations with Natalie

I talked to Natalie over the weekend and decided that the Andrew Meyer aka "Don't tase me, bro!" incident was a combination of police inexperience and douche baggery (thanks Jon Stewart). Meyer was resisting arrest and causing a scene, maybe he didn't need to be tasered, but he didn't do anything to prevent it such as cooperate. And last night was the premiere of Heroes which we enjoyed. It raised questions gave very few answers and didn't even get to some characters. Highlights: Sark is on Heroes and Peter/Jess's hair cut. A little creepy that Claire's new boyfriend was hoovering outside her window, peeping toms are never cute, plus who didn't see that coming, "alians, robots, blah blah blah." And what is Maya's power? Mass murder?

Taser/Police Brutality '08

In alma mater news, Andrew Meyer, 21, was forcefully arrested and tasered at a John Kerry speaking engagement at the University of Florida.


There are several videos of the event on YouTube. And it is being covered both far and wide by the media, from the local student paper, The Alligator to international news, BBC. This one of the good things about UF, with such a large campus something is always going on. John Kerry's visit wasn't even a big draw from the looks of the auditorium. He was a blip on the crowded radar. And this is just another rough spot for the political speaking engagment set, poor old McCain.
