Update from PBLer Commies in Fla-la-land

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Eric plays far too damn much PlayStation II.

"We miss the female race," he said today. "There's a lot of fine-looking girls who are smart."

"I wish Crystal was here," he added, which elicited some communal chuckles.

Put four guys in a deluxe hotel room with more caffeine than common sense between them, and you're certain to have some interesting conversations. (We're here for Phi Beta Lambda's National Leadership Conference.)

Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional is crooning about defrosters. And if I hear one more thing about stupid PlayStation, I just may ralph.

FIRE fighters credit Commies with First Amendment victory

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education declared a resounding victory for student press rights at Craven Community College in this triumphant news release: http://www.thefire.org/index.php/article/5818.html .

The release includes links to downloadable .PDFs to several key source documents, including FIRE's letter to college President Scott Ralls and Dr. Ralls' reply, which pledges full respect to First Amendment rights on campus.

“The staff of The Communicator should be proud that it refused to buckle when the pressure was on,” FIRE director of legal and public advocacy Greg Lukianoff said in the release. “With the help of FIRE and the SPLC, the students won an important victory for press freedom.”
