In a followup to my blogpost about Yale womens’ puling timidity in the face of crassness, the administration has stepped in with this statement from Yale President Richard Levin (via Instapundit): “It is imperative that the climate at Yale be free of sexual harassment and misconduct of any kind. The well being of our students… Continue reading

So there’s a car in today’s NASCAR Talladega race, the #09 car who is sponsored by ‘Thank a Teacher/Security Benefits’.  It took a little checking, but Security Benefits is the supplier of the National Education Association’s Valuebuilder retirement savings program.  Sponsoring a NASCAR team costs between $350,000 – $500,000 a RACE.  Wonder if the scratch… Continue reading

A very close friend of mine was selected to be a guardian on an Honor Flight to Washington DC.  The guardians are the companions-of-the-day for WWII and terminally ill veterans as they travel to DC to see the memorials and other DC sights.  She said that it was one of the most profound experiences that’s… Continue reading

We went to see Macbeth on Saturday night.  It was a minimalist, updated version–meaning that there were few props and the actors wore all black suits, black evening dresses, or black jeans and black button downs.  There were knives and revolvers as the weapons of choice and it was a children’s theater (meaning the actors… Continue reading

Brigid emailed and asked that I place this up on my blog too.  The link is to Bullets and Biscuits’ blogpost about a friend who passed away suddenly at only 31 years of age and without any known cause leaving three children, ages 2, 4, and 6 behind.  There is a fund being set up… Continue reading

It seems that the fine young women of Yale have been turned into fainting flowers (via Advice Goddess).  When faced with signs like “We Love Yale Sluts” or chants of “No means no and yes means anal” instead of giving back as good as they’re being given, they run and hide behind the skirts of… Continue reading
