TBNYU Kimmel Occupation is a Cospiracy

Certain people need to be applauded, first off.

1. Charlie Eisenhood. He has a strange last name, he plays ultimate frisbee, and he is doing every NYU student a huge service. I was there last night with him for a little bit, and his staunch stoicism and serenity in a time of turmoil is admirable.

**Alert!** Apparently more kiddies got in the room and a guards arm was broken? That's what WSN and NYULocal say... that kinda sucks. No 2 ways about it. No broken bones. SWEEEET!

Still, I cannot contain myself- this is excitement I have not yet encountered! The rush of adrenaline with the threat of risk is something to write home about. Not literally, though, as my mother has already warned me fiercely to "stay away from those hoodlums" and that people who feel strongly about the middle east "have a tendency to turn violent very quickly." (No kidding- insert sardonic reference to my right- wing background here-)

OK, other commendations:
2.Ned Resnikoff. A friend linked me to his blog, in which he writes clearly and succinctly what so many have been saying on nyulocal's comments all day.

3. Whoever made the comment about the Gaza-themed party. I want those 13 lucky Gazan kids to be bombarded with vegan food, purple torches, and super-skinny topless girls with bubble-wrap-manila-folders as signs. We'll see how in line the interests are.

Conspiracy Theory:

this whole thing is a ploy. John Sexton paid off TBNYU! to stage this stint, in order that the University recieve mad press, and most importantly, for each and every one of us. Have you ever felt such a sense of urgency about your school? I certainly haven't. Not even when GSP was laughed at in the All- University games freshman year. Not even when John Beckman won the Nobel prize for being quoted uhaving using words sans a smithereen of substance day in day out in the WSN.

This is our time, guys. This is the community we have all been yearning for. Take a side, or don't. Laugh at the 'whackjobs' as one acquaintance dubbed them, or consider them martyrs. Either way, there will be snark, (ala Damon Beres, whom I do not know.) blogs, and students who agree with you, and are more than willing to flesh out these ideas over the suicide-proof facades of Bobst.

Essentially, this is the catalyst for the most meaningful, heated, and passionate conversation and dialogue that has occured at NYU for a long time. Kudos to us for caring about the Kimmel Marketplace!

As far as the food they got for free:
Total bullshit. I want free dinner, vegan or not. Owen Moore= ultimate big brother.
