Good Morning, Red Yale
I woke up at 7:30 this morning, planning to make it to the 8:00 minyan at the Yale Hillel. I walked bleary-eyed into the bathroom, and suddenly became aware of music, wafting in through the open window. I thought that someone on an upper floor was listening to opera (at 7:30 in the morning?) but this music had more of a military sound to it.
From Yale: Guess Hu's Coming
Passover has just ended, which means that I can now get back to blogging and let you know what’s going on at Yale right now:
100 classes originally planned to meet tomorrow have been rescheduled or relocated, Yale’s largest dining hall won’t be serving anything tomorrow, hundreds of additional security officers are about to show up, our view of Cross Campus is ruined by two ugly plastic tents and two even uglier satellite-dish trucks, and a huge swath encompassing much of the central campus is going to be closed to students.
From Yale: Rushing to the Next Disgrace
Yale stands poised to give history department tenure to University of Michigan professor Juan Cole, an outspoken and anti-Semitic radical who calls Israel “the most dangerous regime in the Middle East.”
An excellent op-ed on Mr. Cole by Eliana Johnson and Mitch Webber appears in today’s NY Sun.
From Northwestern: Sesame Street and Iran
Is anyone else here a former (or current) Sesame Street viewer? If so, you may recall a regular installment on the program called "one of these things doesn't belong." The segment even had its own little theme song, but I'll spare you the lyrics. The premise of the game was to spot the object, word, or picture that did not match the other items in the game. Let's play one round, shall we?
From John Brown U: A Lesson in Accountability
Yet another Republican has been convicted of a crime. One is tempted to say that one simply has to expect such action, because Republicans are clearly a bunch of morally bankrupt, corrupt officials only out for their own good.
Or maybe not.
A Letter from Mr. Jefferson
The present desire of America is to produce rapid population by as great importations of foreigners as possible. But is this founded in good policy?
