Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh: Say it ain't so!

So, my intent to have a nice day lasted until just after lunch, when it was announced that my favourite Dunkin' Donuts coffee chain was going to hire Rachael Ray to be their spokesperson.

We are not amused.

Something To Think About

There are few earthly things more beautiful than a University. It is a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make other see; where seekers and learners alike, banded together in the search for knowledge will honor thought in all its finer ways, will welcome thinkers in distress, or in exile; will uphold ever the dignity of thought and learning and will exact standards in these things. There are few things more splendid than a University. In these days of broken frontiers and collapsing values, when every future looks somewhat grim, and every ancient foothold has become something of a quagmire; wherever a University stands, it stands and shines; wherever it exists, the free minds of men, urged on to full and fair inquiry, may still bring wisdom into human affairs. - John Masefield
