So Glad I Don't Work at Columbia

Yeah, it's all about me here.

You know, the quote that sums up my feelings about the whole Columbia/Iran/UC Regents/Chemerinsky/Larry Summers/UC Davis/academic freedom fooferaw is this one:

The issue we see with Columbia is deeper than freedom of speech but rather the inconsistency with which university faculties choose to support it.

Some consistency would be refreshing, although you could be cynical and argue that the academy has always been perfectly consistent with regard to free speech:  as long as it conforms to a particular political ideology, it's free. Otherwise, not so much.

And now for something completely different:  HAT WATCH, DAY 22....

A Mr. Wuf head. Mr. Wuf is the NCSU mascot, for those who are unfamiliar with the Giant Mascot Copyright-Off of Aught Seven.  I was unaware that they made hats out of the upper portion of his head and jaw, but I guess you learn something new every day. 

Dropoff took almost 10 minutes today.
