clipper's remarks: A neat post here about why things change so slowly in politics. Tthe author argues that almost everything that happens today is a consequence of what people learned (and owned) yesterday. The real impetus for change comes fom those with everything to gain or nothing to lose.

Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA  34109

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16.  After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department. 

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters.  With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. 

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time.  Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August.  I look forward to seeing you then. 

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

clipper's remarks: You really need to watch the video. It's only a few minutes.
This is So something I would do.

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.

In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.

In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person...

Had enough of Paris Hilton?

clipper's remarks: Does anyone think Paris Hilton is a good role model, or even worth listening to?? There must be something better to televise.
Check out the great protest song on this site.

Clip Source: www.goawayparis.com

the movement begins.

Hello there fellow Americans! If you're like me, then you've had enough of Paris Hilton and her ridiculous antics. Yes, I know that she is supposedly a popular actress, singer, and role model to the children but let's face it...if it wasnt for her sex video, she would just be another spoiled heiress living outside of the public spotlight. Now, while Paris loves giving her wonderfully vapid thoughts on everything under the sun, I thought it was time to let her know our thoughts on her! So, if you want her to go away as much as I do, please let all your friends know about this page and pass my Paris Hilton protest song around to everyone you know. Heck, with enough support, maybe Paris herself might even get wind of this movement and finally realize that we've all had enough!
