Dems Gone Wild

- A Sarasota [Fla.] man was arrested on an aggravated assault charge Wednesday after he was accused of trying to run down U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris and a group of supporters with his car," the Associated Press reports. Harris, of course, was Florida's secretary of state when Al Gore tried to steal the 2000 election:

A silver Cadillac sped toward the group at a Sarasota intersection Tuesday evening, then swerved at the last minute before driving off, according to police. Witnesses gave the car's license plate number to police, and they tracked it to Barry M. Seltzer, 46.

"I intimidated them with my car," Seltzer told police. "I was exercising my political expression." The Smoking Gun has a copy of the police report and Seltzer's mug shot.

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are

Conservatives at UCLA held a "Coming Out Day" Monday, "to galvanize and mobilize conservatives for next week's election," in the words of the head of the Bruin Republicans. Not everyone was pleased, reports the Daily Bruin:

Some students felt naming the event Coming Out Day was inappropriate since it appeared to have been taken from a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender event and used in a manner different from what it had been originally intended.

"The title Coming Out Day undermines the purpose of the LGBT community's Coming Out Week. This event makes a mockery of the entire community," said Miguel Chavez, a third-year history graduate student.

Not all UCLA gays are as humorless as Chavez. Ronni Sanlo, director of LGBT Campus Resource Center, tells the paper: "Imitation is the sweetest flattery, and LGBT Coming Out Week must be very effective for another organization to want to copy it. It's a great idea."

Should we have one of those at OU? Where we are outnumbered something like 9 to 1?

``These things were supposed to help us repel the 12 anarchists who never bothered to show for the DNC,'' the cop explained. ``Oh, we were ready for them. We had a hundred guys for every anarchist.

``Terrorists, we can handle,'' he said. ``What we haven't quite figured out is how to deal with 80,000 drunken (expletive). It would be nice if we could just spray them all with some kind of general tranquilizer that would put them to sleep. Next day, they'd wake up, hungover and late for class.''

The fancy term is ``celebratory rioting.'' For a cop who was there, it's no more - and no less - than the havoc caused by ``the unspanked generation.''

``When we went through this 30 years ago,'' he said, ``at least the issues held some weight, some import . . . civil rights, Vietnam . . . I'm sorry, but `Yankees Suck' just doesn't hold the same gravitas. You follow procedure and announce: `In the name of the commonwealth, I order you to disperse!' And these fools just laugh at you . . . these fools who passed MCAS and the SATs, allegedly. These fools who are our future leaders.''
