The administrators of Tennessee State University are clowns. Let’s make it official!
Glenn Reynolds points to this delightful rant about the administrators of Tennessee State University, who (in their boundless enthusiasm to prevent another Virginia Tech-style rampage) have banned squirt guns! You heard me: they banned squirt guns. Well, that would have stopped the various sociopaths who have shot up schools in the past!
All right. That’s it. It’s not legal to shoot idiots in the street. It’s arguably not even moral. So since these idiots insist on beclowning themselves in public, I propose that we follow suit. Here’s the deal: if enough people (say, ten) are seriously interested in, and will commit to, showing up in Nashville, in front of the administration building, on July 2 at 4pm local time, in clown suits and carrying squirt guns, then I and my family will also show up, in clown suits and carrying squirt guns, and we will join together in soaking the front of the administration building.
The madness must stop! The idiots must be opposed! Those who insist on beclowning themselves must face the wrath of clowns!
They would just faint if they knew that when we were kids my mother bought us all cap guns and took us to a wooded park so we could run around in the bushes shooting at each other. It was a great time. Lots of fun.

The Internet Commentariat: We who labor, mostly unpaid and uncelebrated, to vent our frustrations (and, hopefully, yours, Gentle Reader) with Things As They Are.
The Punditocracy: Gasbags who recline on silken couches, eating peeled grapes and being fanned by pretty slave girls, and emit bilious nostrums about politics, culture, and society for which they are, astonishingly, paid.
The Old Media: The enemies of all that is right, true, and beautiful, i.e., they who pay the Punditocracy (and the pretty slave girls). (What, you think the lasses would fan those creeps for nothing?)
