Hail the alma mater

None of the participants in this video are from my alma mater.

However, this debate tournament took place at Emory University and is ridiculous on many, many levels.



What is sadder, that this took place at my old school, that this was a debate tournament, or that both of these jokers are tenured professors at their respective universities?

Damn dirty hippies.

At least Emory is somewhat faultless for hosting the tournament in the first place. Unlike, say, bringing in Michael Moore and Tom Brokaw, or letting an unruly mob shut down David Horowitz's speech.

Those latter actions better represent why I haven't given them a dime in years, and won't for a very long time.

So there were, like, people there?

Apparently Emory people have actually begun to show up for concerts.

Tonight, that's not a very good thing.

Apparently that stage at McDonough Field has seen too many shows.

But it don't matter, right?

Apparently it does - the show was cancelled.

Maybe it don't matter, since he wasn't the one who got hurt....

Back to Campus

Emory Founders Ball, February 10, 2007, 8:00 PM - 1:00 AM.

Black tie optional.

Emory Conference Center Hotel.

Bring your checkbook, in all certainty.

I don't remember there even being a founders' week when I was there, but then again most of the things I do remember are now gone anyway.

It might be interesting to take Alex to one of the Disney movies during the week, though.

I can certainly do without a lot of the self-loving speeches offered during the rest of the week.

I'm also wondering when and why they built a planetarium. I guess that's why tuition's gone up by five digits over ten years.
