Friday Night gone wild

Wild stuff going on:

• BREAKING: Obama White House Describes West Bank as Part of Israel, yeah, you know, that place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.  Money line: “The Dead Sea Scrolls, one might say, are written by settlers.”
• Most pretentious and self-unaware statement ever (okay, maybe not ever, but when you click on the link and find out the speaker, you will understand): “I’m a non-fiction guy living in a non-fiction world.”
• Noted loose cannon loses it: “Freaking Whores“.
• Big time atheist not willing to go along with Islamist insistence of sex-segregation at university debate, and university shockingly agrees. (h/t Cassie in Tip Line)

• Law Professor gone wild!  I can’t blame him for thinking these protesters were loons, but he went too far when he initiated physical contact (not 100% clear from videos) — as slight as it was, it gave them the publicity they want.  From the Oregon student newspaper (more here) :

Several videos displaying an argument between Olmsted and students protesters started to make the rounds on social media late Thursday evening. The videos show different angles of a heated altercation between him and a student he pushed out of the way.According to the YouTube descriptions, the videos take place near the EMU amphitheater at a mock border check-in organized by Students Against Imperialism  — a group in support of equitable treatment along the United States-Mexican border, which recently combined with the group, Students for Palestinian Liberation.It is unclear how the dispute started and ended, as both videos capture only the middle of the quarrel.
