revolution is in the air!

Above are pictures from this halloween of icarusdiver (Zombie, front left), geheimnisnacht (mad baker, front right), and myself (V For Vendetta, back). The "bring pluto back" protester was with a group of people we ran into while wandering around downtown, physics undergrads. He handed me a flyer that said "Support a 9 Planet Solar System!" and had a web url http://www.bringbackpluto.org... looks like it actually is a real website, whether serious or not.

I just uploaded a bunch of pics from previous halloweens. Most of them I've already posted at some point or another to this journal, but they weren't actually in the gallery, which you can find here As a bonus, here's photo of evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins signing my copy of The God Delusion a couple weeks ago.

Congratulations, democrats, on retaking congress... well done. Gridlock will hopefully stop Bush and his cronies from further assaulting the freedoms of US citizens, such as his recent whimsical suspension of habeus corpus, and the bill he passed to make himself immune from being tried for war crimes, and the bill he passed giving himself emergency powers to declare martial law whenever he feels like it. It seems he was getting rather desperate towards the election to get certain things passed... hopefully, this will at least be enough to stop him from further abusing his power.
