What has this guy personally done to help lower tuition at Yale? My guess: nothing.
I haven’t supported one thing you’ve “done” at OB, but I’ll definetely be there to hear Austin Powers speak today
Austin Powers like hell, JB. That’s John Denver! Ooooooooooh, I hope he does “Country Boy”!!
Seriously, ‘Culture…’ was worth the time spent reading it.

wow little children – have you reverted back to second grade ? I mean you do realize that you are insulting a grown up intelligent adult person to their face over their appearance right? (is this what you teach your kids) – wow though – your political chess astounds me I’m really questioning the universe over it. matured much over the years, huh? I really at least hope your not those same people promoting Jesus in your off time.
You’re right. Dr. Zaius deserves respect. He was chief defender of the faith, after all.
