Ann Coulter: One of the Many Reasons I Hate Connecticut

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. Except in Connecticut.
Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. Except in Connecticut.
Being from the lamest borough in New York City (Staten Island, in case you’re from Minnesota), I always took solace in the fact that there were far lamer regions nearby, with which my island could compete and (hopefully) come out on top. There’s the epic battle waged between the people from my ‘hood (my Irish people’s and the Italians’) and Long Island (the Jews’), a battle in which the points of contention were based on the same embarrassing features: annoying accents, materialism amongst its consumer sheeple residents, lack of subway access to Manhattan. With a landfill so massive you can see it from outer space, the battle arguably resulted in Long Island’s favor. Nevertheless, we always had Jersey to agree upon, elevating our geographic (and therefore cultural) superiority. While at Cornell, however, I learned of a strange hilly region directly to the northeast of New York City, a place where, in 1961, some sorry resident emptied her vaginal cavity of one Ann Hart Coulter — our most embarrassing alumna who recently claimed that the Ag School is not a part of the Ivy League.

Oh Fuchs! A Look at Our Divine New Provost

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Our new provost, W. Kent Fuchs. Silver Fuchs?
Our new provost, W. Kent Fuchs. Silver Fuchs?
We’ve finally got a new provost, former Dean of Engineering Kent Fuchs, now that the former one of eight years, Carolyn “Biddy” Martin, has flitted off to a chancellorship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After being the longest-serving provost ever, we guess Biddy needed a new place to make conservatives annoyed by her existence. Luckily for us, our new man has an equally lampoonable name, sort of. His last name is pronounced “fox,” not “fucks” as many vulgar language enthusiasts in the Cornell community might have preferred. We can still dub him something funny though, like Silver Fuchs. He’s not bad-looking for an older guy, right?

Anyway, his professional credentials seem stellar at a glance. In his six year tenure as Dean of the largest engineering program in the Ivy League, nobody seems to have had any major beef with him. MetaEzra reports: “I’m not entirely qualified to comment on Fuch’s qualifications for the job, suffice to say that he was re-appointed for the Engineering deanship and Martin thought highly of him.” There is, however, one thing about Fuchs that’s a bit out of the norm: he received a master of divinity degree at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1984, a year before he got his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the University of Illinois. Why this might short-circuit a few lightbulbs in our mind after the jump.
