Attention must (belatedly) be paid:

Thanks to ZKSW for the link from the anarcho-syndicalist playground that is his website. Go read it. Now. Especially the “pithy quotations,” like “Run-UOC”:

[Run]
For all you sucker Ph.D’s perpetratin a FRAUD
your lies are cold wack and keep the crowd cold lost
you’re the kind of guy no one could ever afford
cause you eat like you’re a feudal lord
The hall is Woodbridge and we’re here to maraud
And when you see us marchin you better pray to GOD
Because we’re wheelin, dealin, give you a funny feeling
When we hang our banners from your ceiling
We groove it (you move it) it has been proven
We filed seventy-seven complaints because your style is LOSIN
We realize it (contrive it) and always organize it
We’ll diss an administrator make the other fuckers’ eyes itch
We’re rising (suprising) and constantly mobilizing
We always tell the truth and then we never slip no lies in
You steal millions from our kids and then ya still get paid
Well now we’re descending on your house like a fuckin’ air raid

(guitar solo by Julie Gonzales)

[Run]
Because the lies you say, When you’re running Yale
Prove it to me that this place for sale
Like Phil Lesh, your shit is so stale

[U.O.C.]
We get no rest from the UOC but we never fail
We couldn’t wait to demonstrate
cause your contract proposal’s insensate
Came here cause we were lured from what we’d heard
But your administration’s quite absurd
Tell you what we don’t like, that’s when you say
That if it weren’t for GESO there’d be A Better Way

Also, I should print in its entirety a recent message from Julie Gonzales:

your blog is amazing.
but it’s missing la cucaracha !
www.ucomics.com/lacucaracha

I should admit at this point to never having read this comic before.

From the makers of Legally Blonde II…
And the people who brought you “PATRIOT ACT II”…it’s…
“ILLEGALLY BROWN III: FULL THROTTLE ROUNDUP”

With the Julie Gonzales hashkachah (Julie – know what that means now?), you know it’s good…

Also, while we’re doing the Day-After-All-the-Rape-Links-Shout-Out-to-College-Friends-and-Websites, go check out Alyssa’s Rosenberg’s Elm City Politics Blog for a much more responsible (and coherent) brand of blogging than this one. No seriously. It’s very solid.

And then for something completely different, check out Thomas Frampton and his band.

“Revolution is just about to come
and for two dollars you can read about the fun
One paper at a time the party ladder I will climb
Till state power and authority are mine”

Yeah well I have imperialists
But you turned equally fascist
And your papers won’t do jack to get me free
And you sold your youth the day you bought their Truth
And now you’re hawking Worker’s Weekly, issue 3

In the (unlikely) event that you’re reading this site and not one of the four people mentioned above, go read their stuff. Now. And, as always, the UOC site, unless you’ve been there since it was updated a couple months ago before the webmaster’s ex went to Senegal (we’re working on it…).

And if you want to see yourself against this pea-soup background, e-mail me – eidelson@yale.edu. Or e-mail me anyway. I like e-mail.

Peace.
