Killer Course (8/8)
Michael Ballou teaches "Introduction to U.S. Government" at California's Santa Rosa Junior College. Among the lessons in the course is how not to introduce yourself to government officials. Ballou reportedly told students to compose an e-mail that contained the words "kill the president, kill the president" to an elected official. At least one student actually sent such an e-mail to a congressman. The Secret Service is now investigating both student and professor.

BRAVO started rerunning the "West Wing" series today. I had never watched the show so I saw the pilot today. It started in '99 and is modeled on a "Clinton" type President. I can see why it did so well. Very well written. You can tell it was written by Los Angeles "West Side Liberals" of course. The villain in the pilot is a "Religious Right" group. Easy target to skewer.
