Took me a second

Apparently, the last Republican primary debate was sponsoered by Google. And Rick Santorum was in attendance. (That's the joke, folks.)

In other, well, not hilarious news, but hilarious reportage of news, this article by the Guardian regarding the arrests at the Occupy Wall Street protest:
"Hero Vincent, 28, an artist from the Bronx, said: "I think it should be out there, so that people know what's going on and if people want to enter his precinct and ask that he should be fired, they can. We are a peaceful protest. For them to attack us is wrong."

Vincent, who was arrested for resisting arrest on Saturday, claimed he was kicked in the stomach by officers."

I may not have loved Catch-22 as a piece of literature, but damned if this isn't some classic Catch-22 shit going on right here.

(Disclaimer: I realize that such arrests are just police arresting people for no reason to get them off the street, etc. etc., but, really? Arrested for resisting arrest, no other charge? That shouldn't pass any smell test for reasonable arrest.)

I understand that frustration, but it's not where I was going. I've studiously avoided making political hay out of this, especially considering your current relationship (spatially) to those people.
