Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

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.

Hats, or rather helmets, off to this not-very-good second stringer headed for the bench, waivers, or even worse, the Cleveland Browns! In real life, you’re not starting because you never learned to read an NFL defense, but now it will be because your coach is a racist–and probably one of those FOP supporters to boot. College presidents and diversity coordinators all across the fruited plain pant lustfully to write you big checks on the SJW lecture circuit. The jerseys and pig socks are just the start of a merchandise empire…and then there’s the ESPN gig and maybe a talk show.

You never know.

The pig socks tell me all I need to know about him as a person, UD.
