1. This is why the Great Sort–with Americans living with like-minded Americans–is so tragic politically. If only we could move Harvard and Columbia to Oklahoma, we could “secede” the lot of them–or just wait for the meteor strike. A “Harold,” indeed. Sigh.

4. Just goes to show how hard it is to parody religious beliefs, or behavior motivated by religious beliefs. There is (well almost) nothing you can think of so crazy that somebody or somebodies somewhere haven’t, don’t, or won’t someday believe it.

5. But YOU are perfectly safe from parody, Michael. I can’t come up with a leftist notion so wacko it’s not believed and taught by tenured professors in what were once prestigious universities.

   One of the silliest notions of my lifetime has been the belief that when you added fruitcakes to a faculty you raised their credibility instead of reducing the school’s.
