A little photo essay on protests on college campuses.

In this case, regarding recruiters on campus. I think it speaks for itself.

Anti-anti-recruiter protest.

Perhaps not eloquently, but certainly gets the point across.

If you'd like a larger version to share, we can oblige.

Heh. Dude. Recruiting is *not* militarism per se, though it can be a component. Yer english skillz are weak - but you're probably a marketing major or something, right?

... you're probably a marketing major or something, right?

With a sign like that? LOL Probably more like an "Alternative Lifestyle/Pan-Gender Studies" major.

Gandalf and Barnacle would be offended to be likened to a character like him.

The Beast saw this via Jonah Goldberg's link in NRO's The Corner. Absolutely hilarious! Hopefully the brothers at his frat will buy that kid a few extra beers this weekend - he deserves it.

The pic is also timely - on the Beast's home blog there has been a debate about whether Conservatives can be funny. The Libs maintain that only left-wingers are adept at humor and they cite the usual suspects: Colbert, Stewart ad nauseam. Of course they ignore clinkers like Comedy Central's "Little Bush" and "That's My Bush". This kid shows we can be funny and the Beast thanks you for putting the picture up. He has linked to you here.

Hey! I want a laugh, too, but your site doesn't work with the latest Opera beta - not a single picture shows up anywhere... Had to make do with Safari...

Ok, the picture was worth it, but still...

Best from Germany,

If you want Conservative humor, just start reading anything by Mark Steyn. Even America Alone has humor in it. He's really quite adept at skewering the morons on the Left. Actually, he's not afraid of taking on the idiots on the Right, either!

They all look like geeks. Did the Computer Science program have a recess or something?

Wellll, considering that they think SNL has been *funny* ever since PJ O'Rourke left...

Bill, you meant National Lampoon, right?

Agreed, despite the fact that O'Rourque's Conservatism has had its ups and downs over the years, he's still funny and NatLamp isn't.

Let us not forget the late Doug Kenney, who would probably have become a Conservative too had he not pitched off that cliff in Kauai.

Wikipedia: "About Kenney's death, Harold Ramis famously quipped "Doug probably fell while he was looking for a place to jump.""

Maybe they teach new spelling at colleges these days, but "terrorism" only has 3 "r"s. I'm surprised there's no Mercedes Benz peace symbol on his sign too.

Gunner! Heat, troops in the open! Right Troop!
FIRE!!! On the Way!!! Target, cease fire.

Beast -- Actually, I meant Michael O'Donoghue.

Things got a bit lively earlier and I get lysdexic when I'm multitasking...

Is that Adam Gadahn holding the yellow poster?

John of Argghhh! briefed on April 25, 2008 6:19 PM

DHH - thanks for the note about Opera. We're doing a site makeover, I'll make sure to test it in that browser.

Speaking as somone who was recruited from a collage campus I can honestly sat that I am happy to be in a place that is largely fri signed up, free of such clueless moonbats. I am damn glad that I joined up. I have four weeks of AIT left here at Fort Sill, and that one week in reception and ten weeks of BCT here. For John I will add that my MOS is 13D, AFATDS operator maintainer for the job title, but that leaves out the fact that first two weeks is spent on old fashioned manual gunnery straight from the 6-40.
