I just sent this Citizens’ Guide to Refusing Searches in the NYC Subway to my brother and a friend over there. It’s not even a fuck the system thing, it’s about knowing your rights and calmly sticking up for them… Have you gotten searched yet? A lady here in Wisconsin (retired school teacher) got fed up with being felt up at the airport and grabbed the screener’s boobs, saying, “how do *you* like it?” or something, and now it’s a FEDERAL CASE. Update: Guilty!

“Unfortunately in this air-tight, post-911 ‘new world,’ the L train is ENTIRELY overlooked. I had really been looking forward to my first confrontation with my “Dissident is Patriotic” button on my bag, but I’m completely avoiding Grand Central and Union Square. Do you think the can of peanuts with the jumping snakes is a BAD idea?”

Hell in a handbasket; meanwhile, some yutz in Missouri is trying to pass a bill preventing teenagers from getting Brazilian waxes without parental consent. Like, is that REALLY the only problem you have to solve today? And can’t anyone with ten dolla walk into Walgreens and get a kit? WTF.

OK, I better get some chillout grooves playing, I’m overcaffeinated and overpoliticked for the day.
