I'm beginning to think that maybe the donkey (otherwise known as the ass) is a very fitting animal to represent at least some of that party's members... If I had any doubt, the story with Dean dissipated them.
 

Irina: Welcome. I checked out your blog. A pro-Bush college student, studying philosophy no less. I hope you're not too harassed by the lefties you must be surrounded by. Visit again, and tell all your classmates!
 

Hi! I'm actually an International Studies major, but I also enjoy philosophy, and many other traditionally "liberal" areas. Interestingly, our ME Studies faculty is much more realistic than those in other colleges, from what I gather. The students for the most part are relative predictable, although yesterday we had a rather unexpected un-PC confrontation, just to liven it up a little!
