Summary
TODAY: We're joined by Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, authors of the comic series Justice Warriors, to promote the second installment: Justice Warriors: Vote Harder.
We talk to them about their satirical, dystopic world of government-operated killdozers collecting rent and taxes from the slums and protecting the insulated Bubble City, a paradise of diversity and tolerance and entertainment.
ALSO: 5 University of California campuses receive their yearly shipment of killdozers...er less-than-lethal military policing tools. Seems like college kids have all the fun.
PLUS: In red states where the pledge of allegiance is mandatory for students, the "bill of rights" forces them to allow parents to opt out of their child reciting the pledge. One of these permission slips goes viral and confuses a million angry Facebook users.
