Yale grads pour it on!

THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2020

Show us the depth of the rot:
We've been teasing the (two) Yale grads all day, based on two of the first things we read early this morning.

One grad showed us the depth of the rot. The other took a more nuanced approach to a different, but utterly trivial, current pop culture question.

We've long admired this second writer, largely because we're amazed that someone can find so much complexity in so many topics which simply don't matter at all.

People are dying all over the world and this is what they lugged out of Yale! In the interest of brevity, we've decided to end our award-winning "thought piece" right there.

40 comments:

  1. Ivy League universities produce house-trained puppies, to serve liberal establishment, and with a chance to become establishment.

    What else is there to say, dear Bob? It's trivial.

    1. Like the Bush family?

    2. Trump's claim to any education, much less an Ivy League one, is pretty tenuous. That means that he has faked his resume and would be fired for that, if he were a normal working person.

    3. SEAN HANNITY: “What’s at stake in this election as you compare and contrast, and what are your top priority items for a second term?”

      Donald J Chickenshit, Acting President: “Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I’ve always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It’s a very important meaning. I never did this before -- I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington I think 17 times, all of the sudden, I’m the president of the United States. You know the story, I’m riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say, ‘This is great.’ But I didn’t know very many people in Washington, it wasn’t my thing.

      “I WAS FROM MANHATTAN, from New York. Now I know everybody. And I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes, like you know an idiot like Bolton, all he wanted to do is drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to kill people.

    4. Ah yes, Our Beloved Commander has both talent and experience now. Very good, dear Hillary, thank you for sharing.

    5. This the most basic question that can be asked of a candidate. The softest ball possible. LIke handing the mic over and saying, "go." And the question overwhelms him. Like it's a riddle for the ages, or a spell cast on his larynx. @jayrosen_nyu


      Bwahaha!! Hey Ivan, I can see your flop sweat from my desk.

    6. Mao was better when he pretended to hate the Establishment. Now he's just another in a LONG, LONG list of Right-wingers who are bigots.

  2. "because we're amazed that someone can find so much complexity in so many topics which simply don't matter at all"

    In the long view, nothing matters at all...

  3. I really want to know why Somerby hates Yale so much.

    An article should stand or fall on its own merits, regardless of where the author went to school.

    Should we all be judging Harvard based on Somerby's output?

  4. I think he forgot to include the link.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Well, this was a bust. There should have been *two* links.

    Now, we will never know what they lugged out of Yale.

  6. From Daily Kos:

    "White supremacists and other far-right extremists have tried to leverage the protests against the police killing of George Floyd for their own purposes. From pretending to be antifascists to participating in or leading violence at protests to threats of worse, they’ve seen an opportunity for division and they’ve taken it. They may not be the only ones.

    FBI Director Christopher Wray told Fox News that the FBI is “looking carefully at the prospect of foreign influence or foreign interference in all the protest activities (that's) occurred over the last few weeks.”

  7. Neither of my parents both in their late 70's have ever voted for a Republican in a presidential election including in 2016 though they didn't like Hillary.

    Both are voting for Trump and they get more determined about it every day. I made the switch in 2008 and have been working on them ever since but they "resisted" until now.

    1. So sorry to hear about your parents cognitive deficits.

    2. Hard to get worked up about the cognitive deficits of fictional people.

      Better trolling please.

    3. What put them over the top for Trump, his eagerness to hear constructive criticism?

    4. My guess is it was the animals in the streets spray painting churches, terrorizing women in their cars, shooting cops in cold blood.

    5. I thought they were David in Cal's parents or godparents, or something somehow related.

    6. "shooting cops in cold blood."

      If only.

    7. Above is typically deranged Democrat excrement admitting he hopes to see law enforcement officers shot in cold blood. But it's not as if we don't know that's what they all are. Likely raised by a single mother.

    8. All NRA members were raised by single mothers. You can look it up!

  9. From The Political Wire:

    "Sean Hannity asked President Trump on Fox News about his plans if he’s re-elected for a second term. Here’s Trump’s answer:

    Well one of the things that will be really great: you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I’ve always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It’s a very important meaning. I never did this before, I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington I think 17 times, all of a sudden I’m the president of the United States, you know the story, I’m riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our First Lady and I say, ‘This is great.’ But I didn’t know very many people in Washington, it wasn’t my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now I know everybody. And I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes, like you know an idiot like Bolton, all he wanted to do is drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to kill people."

  14. Hi viewers online, I'm Alfonso Vázquez from Mexico. I'm here to share my testimony about how i was helped to get my wife back. I was a cheat and my wife caught me several times. I tried fixing myself and each time i ended up cheating over and over again. I guess i didn't realise what she meant to me until she had left me alone. I began to find a way to get her back but nothing seems to work out perfectly till i came across an article about Lord Zakuza who helped a lot of people globally to get their relationships back. I made contact with him on his WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483 and he assured me that my wife will come back to me within 48 hours with his powerful magics and i paid 410 Euros for the materials needed for the work. Surprisingly, my wife came back home after 2 days saying that she still loves me and i swore never to cheat on her anymore. All thanks to Lord Zakuza. Email him via ( lordzakuza7@gmail.com ) or WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483.

  23. To everyone out there who thinks love spells don't work, I’m here to tell you that Lord Zakuza love spell is the best and most powerful.. I am a wealthy man who has lots of assets and possessions but I have difficulty with women. Whenever I try to settle down with any, we end up breaking up and I had no idea of why I was going through such an experience in my relationship. It was so worrying that I couldn’t be myself anymore and I started searching for help everywhere even at my place of work. I was going through my work activities online and I came across a testimony of a lady called ( Febe Anouk ) regarding how Lord Zakuza helped her to restore her relationship with his love spell, I had to give it a try because I needed my Ex lover back that I love so much. I visited Lord Zakuza website online and I told him everything I was going through. Lord Zakuza consoled me and promised to help me out with my situation by preparing a love spell for me. I followed the instructions given by him to me and within 48 hours, my Ex lover came looking for me and pleaded for forgiveness. Since I came in contact with Lord Zakuza, things have changed for good in my life and right now, I am married with two beautiful kids and my home is blessed. All thanks to Lord Zakuza I am forever thankful to you. Visit his website for any help via lordzakuzaspells.com or WhatsApp him on +1 740-573-9483. Try him and your life will be blessed.
