Estrogen: Whoa, do you know someone replaced your baby with several, v. small ugly dogs? Russian Bloke: Just to be clear, did you vote for Obama/Biden, or your several, v. small ugly dogs currently being pushed around in an apparatus meant for human infants and not v. small ugly dogs?

The Pie Chart of Me

In a recent graduate school class on diversity (or, why white people are sh*t), we had to create a pie chart of ourselves. Two things immediately popped into my mind. 1-why the flip am I paying GW thousands of dollars to do sh*t like this? and 2-piece of cake (or pie, as it were). My pie was done in seconds; my classmates, however, were seemingly blown away by the self-reflective thought required to do this activity (terrifying). They'll probably be administrators in 5 years or less, writing policy in 7 (truth).
