Afarensis is a 3.5-2.8 million year old hominin from the Kada Hadar member of the Hadar formation in the Middle Awash, Ethiopia. He is approximately 41 inches tall, weighs approximately 60 pounds and has a cranial capacity of a whopping 410 cc (approximately). Afarensis is currently considered to be transitional between apes and humans and displays some traits of both. Since he spends a lot of time on the couch watching monster movies, some observers question whether he is an obligate biped (although no one has observed him climbing a tree). He also has a blog called 
Kip Hawley is an idiot. For those of you unacquainted with Kip, he is the head of the Transportation Security Administration. Apparently his minions at the airport are a wee bit touchy about what people say about Kip and feel threatened if you call Kip an idiot. I'd write it on any clear plastic bag you happen to be taking through an airport security checkpoint - where, apparently the Constitution doesn't apply. Remember Arlo Guthrie's famous words in Alice's Resaurant:
You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
Just substitute writng 'Kip Hawley is and idiot" on a plastic bag for "singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant" at the appropriate places.
Civil disobedience is a wonderful thing...

The best punishment for Kip Hawley would be to keep him in his pajamas beltless and shoeless carrying a silly little plastic bag 24 hours a day for 365 days at airport security.
