Silliness
You probably already heard about this at Slashdot, but two of the presidential candidates, Cobb and Badnarik, got arrested crossing a police barricade... to attend a debate between Bush and Kerry.
Nice publicity stunt. Cobb even got quoted as saying, "These are not debates, these are infomercials." Almost as informative as the content of the debate probably was.
Apparently there were so many people at Washington University that night with nothing better to do than wave signs that, "Streets around much of the campus were barricaded and guarded by police, including two dozen in riot gear near where hundreds of placard-waving protesters massed." What if they had an election and nobody came?
