… aimed at students protesting the campus visit of Mr One Percent, Eric Cantor — a banner reading

GET IN OUR BRACKET

— so students at Georgetown University are marketing their investment fund to fellow students with the tagline

BECOME THE ONE PERCENT.

Much huffing and puffing about it here. But really – it’s a clever slogan, and it has helped attract a lot of investors.

    It’s funny in a what-a-twat-am-I kind of way, which seems to be the only thing that passes for conservative humor any more. But it sits rather oddly alongside a university mission to educate “men and women in the service of others, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community.”

    Alan: Yes. This incident will help Georgetown in the annual Douchiest College contest.
