Shamelessly ripping off VH1, Features has decided to do our own "Best Week Ever" in honor of all the sordid and stupid goings-on here at Tufts. Don't get offended; just be smarter next time.
Last weekend, the Emerging Black Leaders Symposium (EBLS) featured speaker Kwame Jackson, runner-up on the first season of "The Apprentice." Former U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige was a mere panelist. But hey, what's a career of public service and policy-crafting compared to getting fired by the Donald?
A News Brief in yesterday's Daily reported that frat pledges allegedly poured cans of paint on four sorority girls who were guarding the cannon last Sunday. TUPD Sergeant Rich McConaghy said that "incidences of harassment between fraternities and sororities are rare." Yeah, frat boys harassing girls in ways that involve viscous substances? That's almost as rare as Ann Coulter calling liberals "traitors." Or "wimps." Or "insane."
Speaking of which, here are some gems from Ann Coulter's Wednesday night debate with Peter Beinart:
1. "Democrats are now living on the historical memory of what the Democratic party used to be to convince themselves the party isn't insane yet ..."
2. Followed by ... "Was it a good idea to say it's our constitutional right to stick a fork in a baby's head?"
3. "Rich people don't want the No Child Left Behind Act because they want to buy their way into good schools like Tufts."
4. "There's no one left to argue with on the Left - I've started to like liberals when they're afraid and shivering."
We would list our favorite gems from Peter Beinart, but he was too busy being afraid and shivering. Kidding. Actually, he was skillfully playing Colmes to Coulter's Hannity:
1. "Democracy in the Middle East is a wonderful thing. I am willing to give Bush credit for the wonderful sentiments in his inaugural address."
2. "I agree with George W. Bush on this one, the No Child Left Behind Act will do more good than harm."
3. "We don't know if Iraq will turn out to be a good thing or not."
With liberals like that, who needs conservatives? <$>
