Prep Schoolers Kick Karl Rove's GOP Tail

If only MoveOn.org knew that all it took to push Karl Rove around was a bunch of pissed-off tony prep-schoolers. After student protests (and a Drudge link) the Bush advisor has backed out of his commitment as this year's graduation speaker at Connecticut boarding school Choate Rosemary Hall. You know, where Ivanka went? Aww, whassamatter, Karl? Can't take a little high-class heckling? [AP]

Bronx Science Kids Organize For Something Other Than MIT College Fair

Kids these days, thinking they can facilitate change. 200 students at Bronx Science staged a walkout yesterday to demand their meanie principal be fired. Apparently she's sort of a dragon lady and insists on being called "Dr." without a medical license nor a doctorate. "She was fucking insistent on it,"an alum told us, despite the woman's denials to papers today. Oh and she wants to take away prom! "We don't even have a senior trip," this one kid whines on a video put together by the crack video team at the New York Post. Poor kinderlings! Actually, the Post's video, after the jump, is really the best part of this little drama. Education reporter Yoav Gonen looks (and sounds) like he'd rather die than be on film. More »

MTV Permalance Troops To Attack Holiday Party (With T-Shirts)

The MTVN freelancers' petition we'd found its way to us just now and these downtrodden drudges have a plan! It includes subterfuge and silk-screening. "Wear your custom permalance T-shirt Thursday night at the Holiday Party," the petition suggests. "In addition to getting drunk and making out with co-workers Thursday night, let's make a statement!" Rioting contractors are encouraged to conceal their fightwear under whatever proper party attire they can afford. The full outrage is after the jump. More »

Dude Slapped By Girls On Subway; 'Post' Sounds The Race Alarm

If you miss the A train, you'll find you've missed the quickest way to a beating, unlike this poor guy, who was tag-teamed by a group of teenage girls on the subway line last month. The Smoking Gun has the full video, which the Post snapped up into a neat little interactive race-baiting package! When the paper first posted the story, it included the detail that the victim was "a white male," without identifying the race of the the ladies laying into him. The story has since been changed—now it's a complete and total mystery as to which participant was what color. Um, unless you watch the video or something.

Latest by kityglitr: Well, besides the evidence that these girls are obvs lesbians (I mean, who wears a do-rag besides a dude or a dyke? I'm allowed to say it cuz I'm queer, too) seems like normal teenage boredom to me. more »
