Professor Blogs in a Radical State at SDSU

When I first met Dr. Carole Kennedy she was dressed in a kind of tuxedo-like thing, with a bullhorn in her hand, exhorting passers-by on the Free Speech Steps at San Diego State University "keep on moving--you have tests to take and there's no time for you to vote or anything! Just keep moving, students, and we'll take care of everything. Really, you can trust us." She and her crew were doing the good work of the Billionaires for Bush and Gore, performing satiric street theater to bring up the main issue of the elections of 2000 and 2004: corrupt politicians have sold us down the river.

The news outlets stopped asking for her expert opinion when it became clear that the opinion wasn't toeing the corporate line, but that didn't stop her--besides, exclamation points, which she uses frequently, don't show up well on TV anyway. So she blogs, here. Check it out!
