Couple of things

- It's a rather lame bumper sticker, but apparently it causes police officers in DeKalb County to enforce unconstitutional laws.

While Grier argues her bumper sticker is political speech protected by the First Amendment, the case that challenged the lewd decal law didn't involve such a serious message. In 1991, the ACLU backed a motorist who was cited for a "S--- happens bumper sticker.

The court called the decal law vague and overly broad.

The current edition of the Georgia Law Enforcement Handbook, which officers rely on, doesn't mention that the decal law was overturned.

Weber said the ACLU will seek to have the handbook revised.

"The law is unenforceable, and departments are supposed to inform their officers," Weber said.


It's been 15 years folks. Might be time for an update.

- Ah yes, the university is here to rain on the parade of the 95 percent of the individuals who don't break the law. This whole thing is terribly confusing. What constitutes 'set-up' in the grand scheme of things? Is me putting our my tent to reserve my spot a set-up? Or do I have to have a grill a-blazin' to break the new law? Same thing with 'unauthorized electric and cable hook-ups for TVs and satellites' ... do generators fall into that category, or are we just referring to the morons who break into buildings to use outlets?

And a new parking area by the intramural fields makes up for this Damon Evans? How in the world is crossing College Station Road 'safer' for pedestrians?

- As Matt pointed out in a mocking text message last night, LSU has completely destroyed my bracket.

- In a little good-natured competition at the ole musee, the attendance totals for dueling gallery talks between Paul and Carissa are in ... and the latter has come out on top. In Paul's defense, it was mighty rainy for his talk, but we have proof right here of Carissa's 6-2 win.

ArtBeat! is experiencing a long, painful death as a museum program. Oh...I yearn for the days when two entire art history classes were forced to attend. Besides, I recall 5 at mine...unless you do not count, JMAC.

Alas ... I was not counting museum employees, which left a bona fide six at Carissa's and two at yours.

Though, if we take away one consistent volunteer, the numbers for both audiences dwindle.

Does the poor girl know that you've linked to her photos? I suspect you may have more viewers than the musee site (shh. don't tell BR. seriously. don't tell her I said that).
