By commenting on the blog, you can enter the discussion with the hunger strikers about how we students can remind the UofM administrators that they are supposed to be serving the public good - starting with a fair contract for the AFSCME workers who keep our school running.

The website is run by the hunger strikers and their support collective, which is open to all - if you’re in the Twin Cities, please come talk with them and lend a hand at their encampment on the east end of the Washington Ave. pedestrian bridge.

The lunchroom TV has Headline News on, and since yesterday it has been 24×7 on the story of a former football player being indicted for a felony. I saw a promo for four hours of in depth coverage and analysis last night.

Are they serious? This is while congress is trying to vote to reinstate habeas for detainees, an incident with Blackwater security has caused the US military to stop all land travel for non-military us personnel in Iraq. Also, the fed slashed interest rates in an attempt to stop the bleeding in collapse of the housing bubble. And Headline News, the source for “real” news is spending hours on analysis of the stupidest news story in the world.
