Nothing says “Trust Fund Baby” like a white kid in dreds.

Forgot to mention, these are the new SDS. Not metaphorically, they are using the same name as the 60s bombers.

These kids are 60s prostest re-enactors. They got tired of palying Dungeons & Dragons.

I know who it is. Its Kerrey the Medal of Honor winner. The Kerrey who said Bill Clintoon was “an especially good liar.” He got that right, anyway.

Maybe their motivations were wrong but we should be doing this to many of our politicians, with tar and feathers I might add

Nobody plays D&D anymore. They play Halo and World of Warcraft.

They are not just the tail anymore, they are now the whole dog and we are just some old bone that has been long buried and forgotten about.

If Bob Kerrey is so unpopular with faculty and students alike, why on earth is he still president of that university? Looks like it’s time for him to find employment elsewhere.

Some students debated tactics; others gazed at computer screens or studied. Mr. Michelson read “On the Genealogy of Morality” by Nietzsche. Somebody else paged through “Early History of Rome” by Livy. A boombox blared music. Students alternated between catnaps on the wooden cafeteria floor and munching snacks delivered by supporters.

Such hardened revolutionaries. I wonder what the snacks were -- little boxes of raisins? Cheerios in a plastic baggie?

They adopted a list of eight demands including a greater student voice in university affairs and the resignations of Mr. Kerrey; James Murtha, the executive vice president; and Robert Millard, treasurer of the board of trustees, who students said was connected to a private security firm working in Iraq.

OT, but I'm not sure if I'm down with the use of semicolons here.

Bob Kerrey helped create this school! Ha! Looks like he created a monster. I remember seeing him on Larry King excitedly describing how this school would be a model of education, yada yada. Oh well.

Geez, Kerrey once called me an a$$hole, but for Pete's sake, I didn't go chase the guy after he did it.

You wouldn't have been able to chase him even if you'd wanted to...too many (operating) TV cameras in the way, LOL.

Ah, memories...

Sen Kerry took this job so he could date hot NY chicks and go to the great liberal cocktail parties. I wonder how that’s been working out?

And “The New School for Social Research”?
That’s been a leftist bastion since World War One before the beatnicks....When the artistes of Greenwich Village were known as bohemians

I hope there were enough passies and blankies for the nappers. :D

What were they going to do if they caught him?

That was my thought, too. Aren't they a bunch of peace-lovers? They wouldn't lay a hand on him. *snork*

Marcus Michelson, also a graduate student in philosophy, ....... “This is about starting a dialogue, and to do that you have to be seen as an equal,” he said. “People just don’t give equality, you have to take it.”

Stunning quote, but not surprising at all.

See, all those classes in egalitarian Marxist philosophy are paying off. Bet Mom and Dad are thrilled

If you check out the available majors at:

you will join me in hoping they have trust funds lest we taxpayers wind up supporting them their whole lives.

A classic case of what happens when the inmates are put in control of the asylum.

See Free-Speech-Movement: Berkeley here:
