Afternoon Updates

All right, I have astronomy in 40 minutes, so there's no time to write anything huge, but I will give you a brief preview. First of all, I learned something very important in psychology today. Contrary to what The Waterboy has taught us, anger, jealously, and aggression are NOT controlled by the medulla oblongata.

The professor used the "Colonel Sanders" clip from the movie to illustrate this. He's got a very...interesting style. He also demonstrated how neurons work using cellophane and a squirt gun. Crazy stuff.

Anyway, the DO doesn't have any fiskable editorials today. They're mostly talking about their dissatisfaction with the chosen commencement speaker. The school decided to get Phylicia Rashad, who played Claire Huxtable on "The Cosby Show." They claim that it's an effort to increase "diversity." However, the columnists and letter writers think that she's a pathetic choice. Again, draw your own conclusions.

Fortunately, there's an article in the paper about the question of "diversity training." I can't pass that up, so expect a post about that around 4:00. Also, I'll probably be watching Dubya's SOTU speech tonight, and I'll write some opinions about that.

That's it for now. You can all go back to your homes. The hounds will be released in 6 minutes.
