After you’ve gone and left us cheering
After you’ve gone and left us jeering
You’ll feel blue, you’ll feel sad
You’ll miss the dearest wall you’ve ever had
Now your name’s gone and we’ll forget it
When you’re gone too we won’t regret it
After you’re gone, after you’re gone away
We’ve followed slutty perverted Texas Tech for long years here at UD, and nothing that comes out of that school’s superwide reeking asshole surprises us here.
Other people pretend surprise that their quarterback is a moral degenerate; but really? It’s Texas. It’s Texas Tech.
Washington DC is about to experience Brightness at Noon:
‘Trump’s Name is Still on the Kennedy Center — Officials Say it will be Down by Noon’
**************
On Friday, Allerton Kilborn, 79, brought a book to occupy him while he waited for what he hoped would be the removal of Mr. Trump’s name. He had traveled to the Kennedy Center from his home in Chevy Chase, Md.
“For the adventure of it — this is history,” he said.
“I’m so old that I once met John Kennedy and have been an enormous fan of his,” he said. He said he thought the addition of Mr. Trump’s name had been a desecration of the memorial to Kennedy.
“I’m not religious,” he said, “but I see it in religious terms.”
Not her famous “A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.” Today she would write
Leptospirosis a rosis a rosis a rosis.
Nicely written article about a hotel in the Atacama Desert.
Homelessness in the SF area … UD can’t figure out how to finish this sentence. Read the article.
LOLOLOL. The words Italian, football, and fraud in one sentence — of course. The word shock in the same sentence? Scompisciarsi dalle risate…
The good reverend pulled a firearm on someone at a polling place in Green Pond S.C. Maybe he used this.
You’d think pharma would be on to the scheme by now. Or do companies care that they’re buying bogus studies guaranteed to confirm the legitimacy of their shit?
The whole thing’s a win/win, after all. Except for the dupes buying worthless and destructive drugs.
And I’m ashamed to say I don’t. Think about them. Too painful.
But here they are – a few of them – taking to the streets and getting killed by the savages currently running the show.
Men marched with them.
As in Iran, the killings will continue. But barbaric sadism has a way of making protests grow.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.
