Arrest of the Week

New weak is informally on tap. They used that extra day to put the one arrested protester, Andrew Koenig, through the super journalism machine.

Koenig was "Boner Stabone" on Growing Pains, and is the son of Pavel Chekov. Yeah, that Chekov.

I remember Boner's penultimate appearance, when he decided to join the military. He takes off on a six-mile run at Mike's recommendation, then calls him two hours later, exhausted:

Boner: I need a ride.
Mike: Where are you?
*beat*
Boner: I ran six miles like you told me to, and I'm too tired to walk six miles home.

Wah-wah!

UPDATED: Apparently the original title of this post was deemed too provocative for our odd set of 1950s era values.

Caucus con salsa

The left-leanin' folks at ACT are hosting a mock Iowa Caucus at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Mijares on Pasadena Avenue. Sierra Madre City Councilman John Buchanan moderates the affair, which will consist of the corner-mongering and peer-to-peer campaigning unfamiliar to us Coastals. It's an ACT-only event, but they're accepting new members on the spot.
