Taser This

Is it just me, or did the "Taser This... Fuck Bush" editorial not really make much sense?

It's big news because of the word "fuck," obviously. So if the editor wanted to make national news, he definitely succeeded. But couldn't he have done that with almost any use of the word "fuck" in a university newspaper?

The thing is... the tasering of the Florida student at a John Kerry speech and Bush really don't have much to do with one other. The only point I can think of in the "editorial" is that speaking or writing critically of politicians can get you tasered. But that's not true in most cases.

It's not that the Florida student deserved to be tasered, but he was being a rude, obnoxious prick. Many, including myself, find it very difficult to feel sympathy for him.

There's no doubt that the now common use of tasers is disturbing. And there's no question that Bush has really fucked things up (I'm sorry, I mean messed things up)...

But besides using the word "fuck" to make the news, I really can't make much sense out of the "editorial."

Help me out... am I missing something?
