CCSC hopefuls have littered the Butler lawn and Low Plaza with Columbia-blue balloons telling us to VOTE NOW for CCSC elections. A gaggle of toddler-ruffians are having a blast tearing down the balloons that line the lawns and playing fun games with them. Overheard from one cableknit sweater-clad young gentleman: “ABRACADABRA!

I feel like I’ve been here before, been here before… (Watch Jeffrey Sachs on last night’s Charlie Rose.) Give me your toasters, your lava lamps, your otherwise hidden appliances…while you walk out for that McBain fire alarm Peace, Not Apartheid. (Just kidding!) Democracy Soon! Please?
