Dr. Jones denied tenure

Apparently, Dr. Indiana Jones was denied tenure:

Moreover, no one on the committee can identify who or what instilled Dr. Jones with the belief that an archaeologist’s tool kit should consist solely of a bullwhip and a revolver.

Would Steven Spielberg and George Lucas agree?

I want to be a Cal Poly student

I don’t normally find much to read in the local left-wing free rag, but this opinion piece by Amy Mordan perfectly sums up how we adults living in The Real World view the annoying, foul-mouthed, disrespectful college students in our midst:

I want to be a Cal Poly student. I want to be a card-carrying part of San Luis’ population that can put upholstered furniture in the front yard in the rain till it turns black with fungus and mildew.

I want to park in the fire lanes and no one does a darn thing about it. I want to let my friends toss hundreds of red beer cups in the streets and no one charges me a single dime. I want the Police Department to tell my neighbors to move when they call at 2 a.m., complaining of noise.

“What did you expect, Mr. and Mrs. Jones? You live in a college town. Now let them have their fun.”

Yeah, I want that.

Sigh. Maybe it’s time to move.
