Sunday Thought

The scariest place on this campus is the J.Press store on Mount Auburn Street.

With pride it displays terrifyingly hideous preppy clothes. Its sign, bulging loudly out into the street, says "J.Press: WASHINGTON DC -- NEW YORK -- CAMBRIDGE -- NEW HAVEN."

Which indicates at its most basic form the nature and breadth of Preppy Ivy Leage Douchebag World Domination. These people control our political, cultural, and intellectual capitals. Jesus fuck.

This has been your Sunday Thought.

Romney Skips Deval's Inauguration

Wow, Mitt Romney's a tool.

BOSTON — With his hand on a Bible once owned by John Quincy Adams, Deval Patrick was sworn in Thursday... Romney, who had decided not to seek a second term and filed papers Wednesday to form a presidential exploratory committee, stayed home during the ceremony Thursday before heading into his new headquarters to work on his campaign.

Seriously? This might be standard practice, I don't know (Massachusetts politicos, enlighten me). But really? Has he such gall? It boils down to "Fuck you, Massachusetts, I'm runnin' for PRESIDENT!" -- not that that's anything new.

UPDATE: (12:47 AM) I've heard suggestions that it was, in fact, Governor-elect Patrick who rudely uninvited Romney from the inauguration. In which case, it's Patrick who's the douche. But I'm not sure.

UPDATE 2: (11:35 AM Friday) per Mel, it's traditional in Mass. for the outgoing governor not to attend the inauguration (though there was some tomfoolery re Romney's "Solitary Walk", see comments). Executive summary: I'm a douche.
