The Ultimate Warrior's Politics


In April 2005, the Young Republicans of the University of Connecticut invited former pro wrestler The Ultimate Warrior to speak at their school, and things got a little out of hand. One statement that really got the crowd upset is shown in this clip, when Warrior said "queering doesn't make the world work." After the speech ended, the College Republicans apologized for bringing Warrior to UConn.

Strom Thurmond's Swimming Pool


In 1948, after Harry S Truman had desegregated the United States Army, Strom Thurmond became a candidate for President of the United States on the third party ticket of the Dixiecrat Party, which had split from the Democrats over the issue of segregation. Thurmond carried four states and received 39 electoral votes. His primary campaign platform was the perpetuation of segregation. In this 1948 campaign speech, Thurmond speaks strongly against desegregation, claiming "there's not enough troops in the army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the Negro [or 'nigra'] race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches." Thurmond went on to serve in the United States Senate for 49 years, never publicly renouncing segregation.

My Mac broke because Dr. Steve Jobs died


God rest in peace, Dr. Steve Jobs. I am beyond thankful for all of the work he did both chairitian and computer-centric. He is an innovative industrian among a small group who has launched us into another century. However, his death so far as led to a slow decline of Apple protocol and standards letting people's devices die and dwindle. I hope that his vision can be turned around for the better so that we as consumers may continue our feats and daily lives as well as continue the beautiful and prosperous future Dr. Steven laid out for us. ~Dallas
