SUCK IT HARVARD

Dick Cheney Purchases Building, For Torture, On College Campus

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

That dreadful scandal-bastion known to some as “the University of Wyoming” is back in the news, because of mean old Dick Cheney: “CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A decision by the University of Wyoming to name a new center for international students for former Vice President Dick Cheney is drawing criticism from people who say Cheney’s support for the Iraq war and harsh interrogation techniques should disqualify him from the distinction.” HA! Dick Cheney, man. A $3.2 million donation from the Cheneys for this so-called “center,” designed to house the very people he despises: Foreigns. The four or five international students at UW should really consider ever walking into this fishy building… something seems a little “Bagram-y” about all of this. [AP via Indecision Forever]

GEORGE W. BUSH

Bush Urges Nation: Tip Your Waitress

Monday, April 10th, 2006

The Preisdent’s billionth town hall this morning (with a bunch of smarter-than-the-press-corps Johns Hopkins students) was clearly part of his “charm offensive” or whatever the hell their excuse is for sending him to laff it up with regular folk. Hey, maybe it works really well in person, but is anyone else paying attention to the President anymore? The guy does like three of these a day now, and we were gonna ask how he’s still finding the time to do President-law-enforcing stuff, but if rappin’ with the kids distracts him from, say, NUKING IRAN, then we’re all for it.
