DWTS = WTF?


Why was Shannen Doherty voted out? We're not a huge fan, but jeez! To be ousted before the dinosaur that is Buzz Aldin is ridiculous. Like Cloris Leachman before him, the voters are skewing the vote to keep the old Buzzard in. She did a much better job than Buzz or Kate Gosselin. Okay, she wasn't going to go far, but the first week?

Sean Flynn's Remains Found!?!

Sean Flynn in Cambodia, circa 1970

After 40 years the mystery is solved!! What are believed to be Sean Flynn's remains have been handed over to JPAC (POW/MIA Accounting Command), in Hawaii.

We've always thought Errol Flynn was the Greatest, Handsomest, Coolest, Best Movie Star of all Time. What happened to his son is unbelievable.

His son Sean Flynn became a photojournalist in the 1960's and disappeared into the Cambodian jungle in 1970. Errol had already passed away by then (he died in 1950). He never knew the heartache his ex-wife went through searching for Sean all those years.

Here's a brief synopsis (Compliments of Southsiders Motorcyle Club)

Sean Leslie Flynn (born May 31, 1941, in Los Angeles, California; disappeared April 6, 1970, in Cambodia, age 28; declared legally dead in 1984 ) was an American actor and freelance photojournalist best known for his coverage of the Vietnam War. He started a news service in Saigon with John Steinbeck IV, son of the American author.

Flynn became a freelance photo journalist under contract to Time Magazine. In a search for exceptional images, he attached himself to Special Forces units and even irregulars operating in remote areas.

On April 6, 1970, while travelling by motorcycle in Cambodia, Flynn and Dana Stone (on assignment for Time magazine and CBS News respectively) were captured by communist guerrillas at a roadblock on Highway One. They were never heard from again and their remains have never been found.

Although it is known that they were captured by Vietnamese Communist forces, it has been suggested that they died in the hands of "hostile" forces. Some speculate that they were killed by Khmer Rouge in June 1971.

Flynn's mother, Lili Damita, spent an enormous amount of money searching for her son, with no success. In 1984 she had him declared legally dead.

The story of Sean Flynn was immortalized by The Clash in the song "Sean Flynn" from the album Combat Rock.

Finally, the remaining family members have some closure to a horrific chapter in their lives.

The Pharaoh Sent a Gift!

Oh Happy Day!
We have been honored by the the Great Zahi Hawass with a letter and an autographed picture!

He didn't include the first-class round trip tickets to Cairo, the 5-star hotel accommodations, VIP passes and personal tour of the pyramids like we requested, though. Maybe that's coming next! There's still hope.

No longer will we say we love/hate Dr. Hawass, we like him now, and we will over look his narcissistic tendencies and ability to insult Jewish people and well, people everywhere.

He is the most well known archaeologist to have ever lived and is one of the most distinguished and honored persons on the planet.

His contributions to history, to Egypt and archeology are unrivaled, Like a modern day Indiana Jones he is on a quest to return Egypt's antiquities to their rightful place in Egypt's museums. Lashing out against the conventional, Dr. Hawass is a true original and the world is a better place for having such a colorful character in it.

He is The Last Great Pharaoh, although his Official Titles are, Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and Vice Minister of Culture.






"People often ask me, ‘well, it’s not really as exciting as Indiana Jones, now is it?’ I reply, ‘to an archaeologist, yes, it certainly is!’

— Zahi Hawass"

Master of the Game


Russell Hantz is the greatest Survivor strategist EVER. We've said it before and man oh man did he PROVE IT AGAIN last night in a masterminded move so risky yet so extremely calculated it had us jumping up out of our seats and cheering for Russell the Man at one the greatest Tribal Councils in Survivor history! Another historic blindside - although blindsides are becoming super common these days.

Other bloggers are calling it "one of those most ingenious and indescribably joyous maneuvers in "Survivor" history." WE AGREE!!!

Last night was a double elimination episode so the immunity challenge wasn't between tribes but a contest within each tribe.


Heroes:
Colby, for some unknown reason, isn't able to DO anything physical this season, leading to some of the snarkiest and saddest comments ever. James lamenting his Heroes weakness said, "it's like Superman is wearing a girdle", amongst a few other gems (see Jeff's blog for the verbatim rundown). Well, sexism aside, James, you're right. Poor Colby was spiked with kryptonite or something. Get him Viagra STAT! The man is impotent and he admitted it, which, you know, made him even more of a man than James. It takes a man with self confidence to admit to the world that's he's fucking up and can't seem to do anything right. It took the wind right out of James' rant. Everyone likes Colby. For his trouble James got voted out. Sayonara, dude. Don't let the non-existent door hit you in your well-formed glutes on the way out!

Villains:
Boston Rob. End of story. Give the guy a puzzle and he's finished within seconds. He then went on the beat the Heroes winner, Candice in a race to see which tribe would have the privilege of hot dogs and the special treat of sitting in on the other tribe's council.

Russell and BR had words. "Watch your back" blah blah. BR wants Russell voted out so badly its starting to drive him crazy. Rob had a great plan to get Russell out whether or not Russell had the Immunity Idol or not. However, he's playing with RUSSELL who has a counter-plan for every move. So Russell put into play his riskiest move ever and it paid off!

At Villain council Russell stood up and instead of playing the idol for himself, he made a huge show of giving it to Parvati. Parvati got 4 votes, which were thrown away and then it was between Tyson and Russell. Tyson 4 - Russell 3 or 3-2 whatever. The stunned and shocked look on Rob's face and the smirky "got you" on Russell's was worth the price of admission. Awesome!

People are calling the BR/Russell feud the "Clash of the Titans" but, you know what, that's not our take. Here's what we see and what we say: Boston Rob welcome to Survivor, Professor Hantz will school you now.

This show is getting better every week. Now if they would only vote out Sandra!

Jeff Probst's EW Blog

9 out of 10 times...

9 out of 10 times James Cameron is a total jerkoff.
This must be number 10 because for once he's on point!

Here's his Anti-Glen Beck/Republican Conservative rant in all it's glory!
From Perez

"Glenn Beck is a fucking asshole. I've met him. He called me the anti-Christ and not about Avatar. He hadn't even seen Avatar yet. I don't know if he has seen it. I think, you know what, he may or may not be an asshole, but he certainly is dangerous, and I'd love to have a dialogue with him. He's dangerous because his ideas are poisonous. I couldn't believe when he was on CNN. I thought, what happened to CNN? Who is this guy? Who is this madman? And then of course he wound up on Fox News, which is where he belongs, I guess.

They're not attacks. They're just people ranting away, lost in their little bubbles of reality, steeped in their own hatred, their own fear and hatred. That's where it all comes from. Let's just call it out. Let's have a public discussion. That's what movies are supposed to do, you know, you can have a mindless entertainment film that doesn't affect anybody. I wasn't interested in that. That's right, I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads. Anybody that is a global-warming denier at this point in time has got their head so deeply up their ass I'm not sure they could hear me.

Look, at this point I'm less interested in making money for the movie and more interested in saving the world that my children are going to inhabit. How about that? I mean look, I didn't make this movie with these strong environmental anti-war themes in it to make friends on the right, you know. They're not on my Christmas card list. It's not going to change my lifestyle at all if they don't talk to me. But you know they've got to live in this world too. And their children do as well, so they're going to have to be answerable to this at some point."

Way to go, James! You hath redeemth thyself an iota!

Why Isn't He in Jail? - REPOST



We are re-posting this edited article from the other day because of the breaking news this morning that the Pope, when he was Archbishop Ratzinger, allowed ANOTHER, repeat ANOTHER, sex-offender to continue to molest boys. This time 1 priest, over 200 boys, at 1 school for the deaf. Molest is too soft a word. Call it like it is. The Pope/Archbishop allowed men to force oral and anal sex on young boys. THAT'S WHAT IS - WHETHER YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT OR NOT! FACT! and its Unconscionable and Disgusting on every level of humanity.

POPE IMPLICATED IN COVER-UP OF WISCONSIN SEX ABUSE CASE
"This is the most incontrovertible case of pedophilia you could get," Isely said, flanked by photos of other clerical abuse victims and a poster of Ratzinger. "We need to know why he (the pope) did not let us know about him (Murphy) and why he didn't let the police know about him and why he did not condemn him and why he did not take his collar away from him."
From article: Fox News

You're damn right we want to know. How could a man "of God" value self-preservation over the protection of little children? The Roman Catholic Church is outright dispicable at this point.

The Pope should be in jail. What else do you do when a person is complicit in forced underage rape? There's nothing to suggest Pope Benedict himself ever ever touched a child or person in an inappropriate way, however there is documentation that he knew of it, knew who was doing it and not only protected that person(s) but knowingly promoted them and actively covered up any evidence.

In Germany it was revealed that the current Pope, then Archbishop Ratzinger, allowed a priest, a known sex offender, to relocate from parish to parish, abusing a fresh crop of boys at every turn, and did nothing. Soon after, an "aide" became the scapegoat as the Pope denied he had anything to do with relocating the child raping scumbag that operated as a priest until the mid 1990's.

And then, it was revealed that the Pope's brother, also a priest, was known to slap boys in the face. But because that is considered discipline and not sex abuse, it's no big deal. Unless you were one of the boys who got his face slapped regularly. There was sexual abuse there too, just by other priests not the ones related to the Pope. The number of victims at just the 1 diocese and boys choir in Germany is over 250.

Right now in Ireland, the Catholic Church is over. O.V.E.R. There have been to date over 15,000 claims of abuse. No longer the Super Catholic Capital of the World, the once proud Catholic Irish are fuming with anger over the way the Church protected men who forced oral sex on boys and not the boys themselves. The Murphy report, a government-commissioned inquiry into abuse in Dublin from 1975 to 2004 said church authorities covered up widespread cases of child sexual abuse until the mid-1990s.

Irish Catholics that attend Mass regularly are now over 50 years old with no one under that age attending. The Bishops have lost their privileged status, at last, and are scorned by the public, a vast change from the adoration they used to receive.

The Pope's letter of apology to Ireland the other day outraged everyone. Read this bloggers take on it:
Huffington Post Blog

There is the camp that says that The Pontiff is The Pontiff - you know the whole Papal Infallibility thing - and that he should just be allowed to be. End of story.

Then there's our camp. You see, we think that that the one man "responsible" for the moral authority of The Church should be held to a higher standard than most. This man shouldn't be or should never have been a Nazi, whether that was chosen or not. Sorry. That is the truth. Any man who was a Nazi should be INELIGIBLE to even be near the church and certainly NOT RUNNING IT!! And we also believe that The Pontiff shouldn't know ANY pedophiles, let alone a whole network of them. And he SHOULD NEVER EVER go out of his way to protect them! Jesus Christ! Are you there? We don't know any child rapists, why should he? He's the fucking POPE! No one anywhere near him in his entire LIFETIME should have ever been even questionable! This is the one freaking guy on the whole planet that should be squeaky clean! Are we alone in thinking this?

Bill Clinton was vilified for getting an adulterous blowjob. He was practically run out of town and became a joke and persona non grata. To this day he is laughed at. He was the President of the United States who never ever took a religious vow to be celibate. Yet, the people who take these vows - get a free pass when they have sex with children. WHAT THE FUCKETY FUCK FUCK FUCK IS WRONG HERE??


This is not all. There have been some EXTREMELY DISTURBING reports coming from Vatican insiders that detail rampant Satanism, including Satanic rituals being carried out in the Vatican itself. This is nothing new to us. Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet, spoke sadly of this back in the 1920's. He wrote that "Satan has taken over the Roman Catholic Church." He then detailed some of what was given to him and it's sick but fits in perfectly when you hear and read about the power and sexual abuses that have occurred over the past 75 years in the church.

Church Satanism Telegraph Article

Satanism? Child Rape? Slapping kids in the face? What's next?

Well, let us tell you. There are unfolding priest sex scandals in several countries right now, including Brazil, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands and Germany to just name a few. In the United Sates alone the Church has forked over 2.5 BILLION with a B, to sex abuse victims.

We didn't even mention the "gay escort scandal". One of the top Vatican "holy"men, the very one who was one of Pope John Paul II's pall bearers is in trouble for arranging sexual affairs at the Vatican itself. This guy would bring in men that cost up to $2k a night for sex with the Bishops and whoever else had the money to pay for sex. The escort was so close to the Pontiff that he was the man that escorted (no pun intended) from the visitors area to the Holy See itself to visit the Pope. He is THATCLOSE to Benedict. Another WTF? directly from the Vatican.

Read some of the victim's stories. They are disgusting. Beatings, rape, humiliation, degradation...it's all there. The Pope should be in jail. He willingly and knowingly DID NOT call the police on a sex offender. He instead transferred the man to a new church. END. OF. STORY. Complicit. Child. Rape. No, he didn't stick his own dick in a child but he allowed that man to do so. HE ALLOWED IT. That's as much as SANCTIONING it. What up, Pope? You sick bastard.

UPDATE 3/26/2010
The Vatican issued this statement:
It lashed out at what it said was a "prevailing trend in the media" to ignore facts and spread an image of the Catholic Church "as if it were the only one responsible for sexual abuses – an image that does not correspond to reality."

Dear Vatican:
We understand that unfortunately you are correct in stating that Pedophiles are prevalent and maybe even sadly and horrifyingly rampant in the world today for some reason. However, MOST PEOPLE CALL THE COPS ON CHILD RAPISTS! THEY DON'T PROTECT THEM, HELP THEM AND ENABLE THEM FOR GOD'S SAKE. Your excuses are pathetic and meaningless. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED and not continuing to assign blame elsewhere! The fact that you just don't "get it" and that you cover it up - makes it so much worse in general and impossible for parishioners to get past. It's something you shouldn't get past - it needs to be dealt with. This "hush-hush" keep-it-a-secret policy has been devastating to us! Why can't you see that? Next time someone complains that a priest touched them - Call the fucking cops right that fucking second and stop it with the transfers already! Transfer the child raping scum to a prison cell not a new parish! ENOUGH ALREADY!

R.I.P. Robert Culp

One of our fave actors of all time. Does anyone remember how extremely bad The Greatest American Hero was but how great it was when he was on?

Robert Culp has hundreds of TV and movie credits to his name.

He was an icon in the 70's and 80's. He was a TV tough guy bad ass!

Wow! The Richard episode DID NOT disappoint.
Answers, answers and more answers!



SPOILERS - If you haven't seen it yet stop now...






HOW OLD IS HE?
Richard was already married in 1867 and he appears to be in his 30's. But he is not an ancient Egyptian or anything like that. Jacob touched him and made him immortal.

What is his real name?
Ricardo, he's Spanish.

Where did he come from?
He lived in Tenerife, Canary Islands with his deathly ill wife Isabella, a Salma Hayek doppelganger.

How long has he been on the island?
Since 1867

What exactly did/does he do for Jacob?
He is Jacob's liaison between him and the people Jacob's brought to the island.

Was he on the Black Rock when it came to the island or was he just imprisoned there?
Yes, he was a prisoner on the Black Rock ship. BONUS: It crashed onto the island during a storm and destroyed the 4 toed-statue!

Why is Jacob angry?
He wanted to know who sent Richard to kill him and where he got the big knife.

What and who are Jacob and the Man In Black?
God and Devil? Good and Evil? Light and dark?

Why are they on the island and why do they bring people there?
The Man in Black is a prisoner and Jacob is his "guard". Jacob brings people to the island to prove to MIB that people aren't inherently evil and can change.

What is the island?
A "cork" that keeps the evil from getting loose and f'ing up the world. It's a prison for MIB.

This episode shed light on Richard, Jacob and the MIB. It is exactly what LOSTIES have been clamouring for...answers!

Getting LOST

A reason to get LOST...
Josh Holloway as James Ford a.k.a Sawyer

We love the ABC show LOST. Sure, it's frustrating as hell and confusing to anyone not familiar with the space-time continuum but it's also rewarding and fun.

This season has been great so far and with only 8 episodes left - it's never too late to get LOST!

Agassi Goes Insane at Fund Raiser Tourney

Sampras and Agassi back in the day...things haven't changed between them!

WTF, Andre?

Andre Agassi made a complete asshole of himself in front of a sold out crowd at a charity fund raiser in what was undoubtedly one of the most uncomfortable, awkward - hell, just plain weird - occurrences in sports history.

Let's set the scene: Four of the world's top tennis players - all former or current Number One's - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi played a charity doubles match this weekend. What happened next was fucked up and is infamous already.

All four players were miked up so that they could communicate with each other with the spectators getting the "inside treat" of the friendly banter amongst the players. Tickets cost up to hundreds if not thousands of dollars each and everyone seemed fired up for this special event. Federer/Sampras vs. Agassi/Nadal!

The banter was going easily enough for a while. Roger was quite funny and was having a good time with Andre. Rafa doesn't say much, neither does Pete, but whatever - it was fun enough.

Until Agassi goaded Pete for not being animated enough or something like that. So, Pete decided pull a Djokovic and go for an all out Agassi imitation, that had the crowd in stitches. This is when it got weird. Agassi retaliated by impersonating Pete in a bad light, attacking him personally for being cheap and insulting the guy in front of 16,000 people. Yes, Sixteen Thousand Paying Tennis Fans. It was tragically timed. The entire mood came down and couldn't be fixed. For a moment it looked as if Pete was going to walk off the court and we think it took every ounce of professionalism in every fiber of his being for him not to to go cross court and punch Agassi in his fucking mouth.

The way in which Andre cut up Sampras was bullshitty, unsportsmanlike and honestly - appalling in every which way. It didn't stop there, words ensued with each player getting completely agitated.

The best part? When Sampras served a ball right at Agassi's head! Awesome level: 11

Poor Justin Gimmelstob, acting as referee, tried to intervene saying "We need a Dr. Phil moment here." The crowd tried to laugh but the look on Pete's face said it all.

Afterwards, it was all smiles and hugs as the two retired players tried to spin it as friendly rivalry. But we know we saw Andres' true colors. His mean spirited, I-still-hate-Pete, colors.


We know Andre used to smoke crack and for his sake we hope he's still on it. There's no other excuse for what happened the other day. None!




View it here...

Update: Agassi reportedly "feels sick" about the entire incident. He has texted Pete to arrange an in person apology - to no avail. Pete's not home anymore, Andre.

So Here it Goes Again: Return of the King!

Do I look like a King? - Russell relaxing on beach...

"So here it goes again" says Russell Hantz after finding yet another hidden immunity idol, proving once again he is the Greatest. Survivor. Strategist. Ever.

Russell has it down pat...get your tribe to despise you as a group, find hidden immunity idol as though it were left just for you, approach separate tribe members and offer up idol. Russell manipulates the emotions of the tribe so easily it's no wonder he declared himself King last night.

"As the King that I am, I anoint The Dragon Slayer to be part of my Kingdom." Coach literally bowed down to him after falling for the Best. Player. Tactic. Ever. CLASSIC!

Last week when Coach found out that Russell was searching for the idol he declared that "he has sealed his fate." This week when Russell offers Coach the idol, like it's their little secret, Coach is "deeply honored to be in the trust" and falls to his knees to be 'Knighted" by Russell. Seriously, the BroMances on this show are hysterical. Hey, Coach, don't let Boston Rob know you're cheating on him with Russell!

The episode started out awful with JT and Amanda boring us to death for 2 minutes then off to the real beginning - the Reward Challenge. A CHOCOLATE REWARD! Cakes, cookies, pies, candy - all chocolate. The girls went wild for it while the Hero Tribe looked angry.

Colby was off his rocker last night. Unbelievably, he chose the wrong time, place and person to have a game face with and JEFF bitch smacked him down for it. (Note: Jeff is on a fucking roll this season - last week he chewed out Rupert, this week Colby and it was awesome!)

Colby had a problem or something about tasting the chocolate nuggets Jeff handed out and when Jeff questioned him on it Colby snapped "Let's just get it started". Probst being Probst flatly said "I got the message bro. We'll go when I'M ready." And with that Colby sat out the challenge like a whiny baby. Really, Colby, over chocolate?

This challenge was rough. UPDATE: According to Jeff Probst's EW Blog this challenge has been officially retired! Rupert face planted Jerri into a wall and almost broke her nose. Keep in mind, Rupert is like 7 feet tall, built like a bear and Jerri is a woman. Jerri exacted revenge by scoring the game winning goal - IN YOUR FACE RUPERT! Never ever threaten a woman's child or get in her way of free unlimited chocolate!

Coach got hit hard by JT and James got hurt badly enough to spend the rest of the ep limping around. (We can't stand him anymore. What a jerkoff. Actually, let's extend that - almost every guy in the Heroes tribe is a dick. Plain and simple. That tribe is LAME-O.)

Rupert looks like a deranged serial killer. If we saw him standing like that in the jungle with his giant hairy self, tie dyed shirt and that crazy ass look on his face we'd run like a motherfucker the other way. We've given up on Rupert. Everything he does, says or thinks is like a foreign concept. He's ridiculous this season.

Jungle Fever alert! Amanda, jungle hottie, apparently is in love with James. She cried when he got hurt, she cried when he left to get treated, she cried when he might not return and when he did, she ran to him like a long lost lover in a movie and threw her arms around him. It's blatantly obvious she is in love/lust/something with him.

Last but not least...one of the most underrated things about Survivor are the beautiful nature shots they use as bumpers (coming back from commercial). They only last a few moments but I am always blown away by how gorgeous the islands are. Last night featured bright blue starfish in crystal clear water...awesome!

Seriously, would you approach this guy? Hell no!

I Am Legend...by Coach

"I am Legend. I am a dying breed...
I am King Arthur...the Last of the Mohicans."

Coach Ben Wade went off is rocker last night...again...and it was Awesome. It was Vintage. It was Classic. After crying about how no one tells him they like him, he went to Boston Rob for some Bro-Mancing and Boston Rob gave the second most insightful Survivor tip in as many episodes followed by the best. survivor. quote. ever.

First, when Coach cried out to Rob that he wanted to bond with him, Rob cut him off with a raised hand and said these immortal words "Dude, we'll bond on The Outside." You could see the emotion swell in Coach as he absorbed the wisdom of those words and his love for Rob grew three sizes bigger. Then, Boston Rob said something that made us love him just like Coach does. "Pick your fucking head up and act like a man." BAM! With that pep talk, Coach puffed right back up, turned that frown upside down, stopped crying and gave his I am Legend speech, one of his best ever. The Dragon Slayer mended his wounded heart.

This was all in the first 15 minutes and we had no idea we in for another super treat...oiled up survivors. Gross and fascinating at the same time, James stood out as the Nubian God he is. Like the ghost of Tony Atlas himself or T.O. on steroids, James you couldn't miss him if you tried. And of course, he nailed the challenge in one shot. A challenge in which Colby looked great but screwed up, looked like an idiot and lost it for his tribe. Boo!

Back at camp, hidden immunity idol clues were discovered coincidentally by both tribes in their entirety. Unheard of! Each tribe acted differently. The Heroes went all out and tried to outrace each other to the secret stash spot, while the Villains stood around with their heads up their ass and came to the conclusion that they would vote off the person that finds it. What?! Of course, Russell takes off to find it and pisses off the entire tribe. Cut to the Heroes, who begin to put in play one of the top ten tribal council blindsides ever.

Heroes were split with Cirie leading the way to vote off Colby or Tom. Tom found the immunity idol. Safe right? No! Candice decided to spilt the vote 3 Colby - 3 Tom and if one of them played the idol the other with the most votes would get booted. Easy. Great. Ingenious. Until Tom, got wind of it, got J.T. to swing the vote, played his idol and when the 3 votes got read for Colby - boom 4 votes went to Cirie and Bye Bye! BRILLIANT!!

AH - we saved the best for last - the Piece de las Resistance - When Jeffery Ripped Rupert a New One. Holy Cow was this unexpected. Rupert basically revealed that no matter how he personally felt, he would vote along the lines of his Alliance. No. Matter. What. This infuriated Jeff who screamed at Rupert the following:

"What part of that makes sense? Keeping your word in a game called outwit, outplay, outlast?… 'Cause I'm looking at a tribe that, you're all keeping your word. Great. All it's doing is giving you more time with me at Tribal Council."
Rupert then says one of the stupidest things ever said, "being at Tribal Council sucks,"
Jeff was on him again in 2 seconds. "You're a part of the reason based on that philosophy, Rupert!"

Awesome Level: 10

Student Uprising at Berkeley Campus today...

From the Huffington Post:
BERKELEY, Calif. — Students staged raucous rallies on nationwide college campuses Thursday in protests against deep education cuts that turned violent as demonstrators threw punches and ice chunks in Wisconsin and blocked university gates and smashed car windows in California.

At least 15 protesters were arrested by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee police after as many as 150 students gathered at the student union then moved to an administrative building to deliver petitions to the school chancellor.

The Dude: "Well, yeah I did, but I spent most of my time occupying various, um, administration buildings."
