Blog based on this story.

So here’s a question for you, you’re an American child in an American school. You’re on the Student Council and one of your responsibilities is to communicate information from students to teachers concerning such matters as event days.

But on your liveblog, you call your school administration douchebags for canceling said event and as a result they refuse to let you run for school council again.

Well this is what happened at a Connecticut school and in her appeal against the matter it was deemed that the school board had every right to deny her entry to the election but also that her speech on the liveblog constituted the issuing of disruptive materials INSIDE the school, that being the only place they legally have powers to penalize.

Now there are two problems I have with this story, the first being that in America – The land of the Free – student elections are a privilege given unto a student and in that respect the Schools retain the right to deny people entry to them.

This is in America, a country which has carpet bombed countries for far less. I don’t understand how the School Administration can call themselves Americans and then do something like that, it’s frankly offensive to me as a member of the supposedly free world. One can only wonder how they call themselves Americans.

In that respect, she should be allowed to run, because any election where a party is not allowed to participate – Is not a free election and this event has set a terrible standard and given a horrible impression to these kids on the way Democracy works.

My Second issue is over the use of what she has said off of school premises in punishing her on school premises. After all, she committed no actual crime otherwise she would be on the stand right now. Instead, she voiced a dissenting opinion about the course of action a governing body took and whilst her statement may have been inflammatory there is a difference between filing an official complaint and taking action as a school establishment.

Their decision to punish her basically says “What you say on your Liveblog, is within out jurisdiction” which of course is wholeheartedly untrue.

I hope an appeals court rules in favour of this brave and intelligent young woman, for she understands what it is to be an American. Not … that I do really

Friday is here at long last and I’m pretty desperate to get home and go to bed. I have some tasks to do at work before I have that luxury. I try to skim the news for something interesting to report but apparently nothing of interest is happening anywhere in the world.

• We have reports of “increasingly unproductive youths” which couldn’t be more obvious.




• We hear that nobody is buying new cars anymore, unusual what with everybody’s disposable income climbing. What, that’s not happening? Then how is this news?!




• How about these guys in Hereford who’re making the worlds least popular top secret phone? Watch out iPhone!




• For some unknown reason people have decided that “What should we do with a Drunken Sailor” needs to be rewritten to be more PC. That’s great ‘n all, but what SHOULD we do with Drunken Sailors?




• And possibly THE most absurd story of the day … NHS Hospital calls in Exorcist to banish ghost from Hospital. And people say there’s nothing wrong with the NHS?

I really have nothing else to say, the News is letting me down … So … I guess i’ll try to think of something to do with RoboticOverlord.com. I’m taking suggestions.

Edit:: First and foremost, I lol’d at this. Carry on…

Well, that’s just plain unfair.

The past week, since TNA Live (which rocked btw) I’ve been waking up and feeling groggy with a headache every single morning. Then again, I also only get on average 6 hours of sleep in spite of my personal need for closer to 8.

So last night, worn out from the gym and generally feeling depressed (West Wing is really failing me throughout Season 6, I’m thinking Season 7 is going to be even worse) I decided “Fuck it” and went to bad somewhere between 8 and 8:30 to wake at 7am (30-45 minutes earlier, I had shit to do).

That’s 11~ Hours sleep for those who can’t count, that’s you Gordon Brown, and yet I still wake up with the same headache, the same groggy feeling and the same horrible stomach pains … Wait, they’re new actually.

Bleh, at least if nothing else I had my coffee this morning. I’m a bit buzzy, I might pop a few paracetamol to suppress that. I think that really, I’m just coming down with something but I’m denying it as much as possible.

What I really want to do is get horribly drunk and fall asleep somewhere in the street, but I’m too late in offering to come to this birthday party happening on … Tomorrow. Hmms. *Emails person who’s organizing*

So I’ve got everything up and running with the new domains … Well, only my blog is actually functional, everything else is being worked on. What to actually put on RoboticOverlord.com is a matter of contentious dispute at the moment.

I have the best artistic minds that zero-pounds can afford working on some crazy images for me So we’ll have to see how that turns out.

If you want to host a wordpress blog with your own registered domain then get in touch with me, I’m happy to provide the hosting + you get to have any themes, plugins, etc you want.

If you don’t have a domain, you’re welcome to a subdomain or a prefix upon RoboticOverlord.com.

Cheers.

So as you may or may not have noticed, I’ve moved the blog onto private hosting which allows me, amongst other things, access to all sorts of new features. 

In the coming few days Leslie’s “Blog” (:p) will be moving onto the same private hosting and i’ve also registered a new domain for funsies called RoboticOverlord.com. But there’s not actually anything there yet so don’t look too hard

Anyway, yes I know the header is horrible, but this is the new version of my old theme with a different style sheet which happens to be called “Vista_is_not_Unix”

Enjoy peoples.
