Katamari
Katamari fans will be interested to know that some crazy SFers are going to be rolling a giant cardboard Katamari ball in the annual Bay to Breakers race.

People may also be interested that the Dresden Dolls are releasing their second album"yes, Virginia..." and have an article about them in the Guardian. Also, my desire to hate Neil Young for inflicting an endless and surreal xylophone musical interprative crap piece on me years ago is conflicting with my new desire to like him for this his new ITMFA stance.

In other pop culture news Keith Olberman continues to piss off Bill O'Reilly. I think he might get Tivoed. Apparently, he spends a portion of every show just talking about falafel and loofahs.

And there is good news in the war against heterosexuality. A US District Court ruled the Kansas AG's persecution of doctors, underaged kids, and other humans beings was unconstitutional. Among other dastardly activities by this guy, he was trying to make it mandatory for doctors to report underage sexual activity in their young patients because all sexual activity, even consensual acts between to minors, represented child abuse.

I'm a little torn on this one. It was a great Give Up opportunity. Imagine, you're in Kansas (not for long, don't worry) and this stupid ass decides this is the law. The solution is simple. Just refer everything to him. If you see two kids kissing on a park bench, report it to the AG. Two kids holding hands, report it to the AG. Two kids sharing a meaningful look, report it to the AG. If all underage sex is a crime then it's your duty to make sure such crimes never occur. Billy and Susy are going to the dance and he said he wants to get to first base! The AG must be warned!

You could render his office inoperative by just obeying what he thinks the law should be. Why should it only be medical personnel anyway? Why not teachers, lawyers, and raconteurs? If all underage sex is abuse just report absolutely everything. Make his life hell.
