Harvard Admits They Suck

This isn't remotely political, but I thought y'all might enjoy this hillarious picture from the Harvard Yale Game this weekend:

Before the Harvard-Yale football game a band of daring Yale students, led by Mike Kai PC '05, donned red shirts labeled "Harvard Pep Squad" and placed thousands of sheets of red and white construction paper on the Harvard bleachers.  Yale may have lost The Game, but every time Harvard scored a touchdown the entire Harvard student body proclaimed to the world their own suckiness:

    i once had this uppity #$% for a housemate.  thought she was just all that because she'd gone to haaavaaaad.

    one day, all of us roomies are in the kitchen and i was giving the spiel about how the recycling isn't being picked up because it's not sorted properly.  employing visual aids, i pointed out the sorting guidelines that lived on the refrigerator.  her response?

    "oh, i can't keep all that stuff straight."

    my response?

    "so much for the value of a harvard education."

•  Damn, that's funny.

  Look at the players on the sidelines looking up at their fans in disbelief.

  This Harvard grad is very much amused.

•  No, we suck

  Yale released W with a degree and it's been downhill since.

  Of course, we didn't give him an MBA.

  And we made John Kerry into the man he is.

  Then again, Al Gore.

  ALthough ... Bill Clinton and Hill Clinton.

  Then again, Pat Robertson.

  On the other hand, Howard Dean.

  Yet again ... Clarence Thomas.

  On the other hand, Howard Dean.

  However, we kept admitting Bushes.

  On the other hand, Howard Dean.

  •  Do you know how heartening it was

    to see that Eliot Spitzer is a "Princeton man". I was getting so tired of Frist, Rumsfeld, and the rest of the "Princeton in the nation's disservice" group.

    Judy Dean and Michelle Obama, we'll take, sure.

      Don't forget Nader

      Hey, if you can remember Joementum as he is and not as he once was ... Nader.

  •  oh...don't

    forget Joe Lieberman. Gee--can Howard Dean really balance out all those people?

    •  Hmmm

      Damn, Joementum.

      Jewish Eli ... oy.

      Yes, HoHo can balance them all out ... except for Joementum.

      I balance out Joementum.

    Ashcroft and Lieberman were both Class of 1964 at Yale.

•  Soccer

  On April 1, 1905, the first intercollegiate soccer game was played at Harvard.  They lost, to Haverford, 1-0.

  Two weeks later they played again at Haverford, with exactly the same result.

  I periodically remind my wife (Harvard '79) of this fact.

  Oh yes, I am originally Haverford '63, although due to a variety of reasons [Marine Corps, bumming around Greenwich Village] I did not finally graduate until 1973.

  And for all of Harvard's arrogance as America's oldest college/university, the oldest institution with a ture approach to graduate education like that of the great European universities was Johns Hopkins.

  Harvard is old, and rich.  It does have some wonderful scholars and some wonderful teachers, and occasionally they are the same person -- for example, University Chapel minister Peter Gomes.  

  But before anyone praise Yale, just remember what they have given this nation:  William Howard Taft,. George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney (okay, he flunked out and went to Wyoming, but they did admit him), Joe Lieberman, both Clintons (through the law school).
