The end is near

An acquaintance of mine teaches college. I just saw a posting of hers on the web, bragging about some of her students.

She boasted one wrote a paper of the Justin Bieber baby-daddy situation and another took on the Kim Kardashian wedding fiasco. “…and they both totally nailed the analysis.” No kidding, and this isn’t even a graduate level course?

And to think, I frittered away my modern culture education researching people like Bobby Seale and Ralph Nader. I should’ve been writing a thesis on the Cowsills or maybe a treatise on Gilligan’s Island.

So, we’re inculcating the next generation of leaders with the priority that whom Kimmy is boinking this week is of paramount significance. Wonder what the outcome will be.

Socrates wept.
