Memo To Intern Bo Derek: Nip It
Institutional Capture: It Can Happen Here – My former Employer Has Gone the Way of All Leftist-Led Colleges.
The American Spectator | 7 Jan, 2023 | Bradley C. S. WatsonMy name has now been added to the long and depressing list of high-profile academic “cancellations.” I recently resigned my tenured position at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, due to an episode — sadly typical of American higher education — that has been widely documented in national media. Like so many recent academic debacles, the actions of the administrators who precipitated the affair were ridiculous and wholly unnecessary. . .
The problem colleges face is institutional capture. . . It must be nipped in the bud if there’s to be any hope of saving the vital remnants of intellectual seriousness that can still be found on many American campuses.
Nip it! Nip it in the bud!
“Now you see, O.P., . . . “
This would have been a timely warning in the early seventies, Professor, before you were vocally voting Democrat to be cool with the faculty cocktail crowd.
(I may be traducing this professor like Joseph K. — I don’t know his leanings; just his environment.)
Classic Car Competition
“Good morning Mr. Walrus and isn’t it a lovely morning?”
“Everything I can see is fine. What else yo got for me?”
“To start we have last week’s winning car and this week we begin a string of classic cars from a different list.”
Last week’s winner
This week’s match
Based on the first full-size car Rolls-Royce made after the war, the original Silver Dawn drophead launched in 1949 and retired in 1954. The name was intended to mark the dawn of a new era for the world and Rolls-Royce’s place in it. Slightly smaller than pre-war cars, the Dawn helped the British bespoke carmaker reintroduce motoring craftsmanship while bringing the company into the modern age. They’re extremely rare: only three of the original 28 dropheads remain in the U.S., and those are owned by private collectors. Happily, the carmaker is introducing a successor model after a 60-year hiatus.

Acura’s halo car from 1990 to 2005, the NSX is young but mighty. “While it’s not as sexy as its European rivals, the Acura NSX showed the rest of the world that supercar specs and daily-driver manners could co-exist,” Hagerty says. “It inspires confidence and begs you to keep pushing, braking later, and turning harder. It may be the most underrated car on this list.” Its successor, the new Acura NSX, reaches customers this year and is likely to inspire renewed interest in the original. Fortunately, Acura made 9,000 first-generation NSX cars so finding one online is easy.

Unidentifiable Viscous Ooze Finally Gets the Recognition It Deserves
Thanks to our own Editor:
This is my first time giving a thumbs-up to unidentifiable, viscous ooze.
But it won’t be the last.
5,400-Pound IMAO Satellite Office Falls Back to Earth After 38 Years in Space
Amanda Kooser | That is Not a Joke Name; Like Naughtius Maximus | 1/10/23
IMAO’s least desired outpost got a blazing welcome back to Earth on Sunday after nearly four decades in space. On Monday, NASA said the Department of Defense confirmed the 5,400-pound (2,450-kilogram) IMAO punishment assignment had reentered over the Bering Sea.
Notice how they wait until after it crashes to tell people about it?
Working on a Scenario To Present to Netflix
Here’s what I have so far. Any suggestions?
Hat tip to Lactose the Intolerant!
Working Title: “Dammit!”
Scene: A POSH LOCATION.
Nancy has an empty hurricane glass in front of her. Hillary has two.
Kevin McCarthy: But how do I get good-for-nothing, weedy, finger-in-the-air politicians like me to now toe the line, after I’ve already proven to be an incredibly self-serving, authority-coveting craven cave-in establishment pusscake?
Nancy Pelosi: Lemme tellya, Whiner. Weiner. Wine here.
Hillary Clinton: **** that. ****. *********, *******. {Shows him some photographs, which the audience can’t see.} *******!
Nancy Pelosi: {Snort!} Hammered….
Kevin McCarthy {aghast}: Oh God! Oh, my God!! {Throws up on Nancy’s shoes, while Hillary does the same.}
It’s got gritty realism. But where does it go from here?

Well, to be honest, she is so good-looking that one doesn’t hear half of what she says.

Motorists Push Back at Private Car Ownership, as “Many Who Still Own Cars Don’t Want To”
express.co.uk | Dec 24, 2022More than one in five drivers believe that the Government should actively be discouraging the use of private cars. An expert claimed many who own cars “don’t want to.”
Recent findings have revealed that one in five (21 percent) of those surveyed think owning a car is wasteful and should be discouraged by Governments. The research from Bolt looked into what would trigger British car owners aged between 18 and 39 to move away from owning a private car.
Here’s an idea: then don’t own a car. And don’t capitalize “Government” as if it’s God.
Next week’s government-funded studies:
More than one in five surveyed believe that the Government should actively be discouraging the use of private balloons. An expert claimed many who own private balloons “don’t want to.”
More than one in five mobile phone users believe that the Government should actively be discouraging the use of private mobile phones. An expert claimed many who own private communication devices “don’t want to.”
