My Cousin the Revolutionary Has a Blog

My Cousin the Revolutionary has a new blog! He claims the only way to get him to update is if I keep linking to it, so, unfortunately, this will be the end of my using my frequent references to him to link to other revolutionaries that I feel he would endorse. However, it does gives me my an opportunity to brag about those links. I've listed the lot below.

My cousin, who is also my roommate, earned his epithet primarily because of his involvement with the NYU Tuition Reform campaign. In the parlance of our apartment, NYU tuition reform and related activities are referred to as "the revolution," as in "I'm having dinner with Ava and then I've got the revolution from 9:00 to around 10:30."

My cousin is also a good bit more left-leaning than I am - I am a Democrat with a robust enthusiasm for capitalism - which would lead to some very interesting discussions around the apartment. These would usually end in my saying "Well, why don't we just organize the proletariat against the bourgeois masses?!"

So that was also a factor.

There's a tongue-in-cheek element here (my cousin would not actually like to fuck tha police), but I'd feel safe saying all the links I've connected to my cousin are things he endorses, at least in sentiment, right down to the orange juice.

Do you like what my cousin's about? No? You're probably right. Go to his blog and brow beat him until he's forced to respond. I know I will.

And cuz? You're welcome.
