Sorry Columbia students.... I have to do it

Because it needs to be done.
Columbia University needs to Tighten Up. Way to invite Ahmadinejad to speak at your oh so heavy with Ivy hallowed walls. You've pretty much confirmed for my father that my boyfriend is a wacko leftist weirdo for attending graduate school Columbia. Way to go, assholes.

Now, Columbia, if you're going to do something this stupid, you better man up and be prepared for the firestorm. I can respect you for "robust debate" and I am all for free speech, but you better damn well understand how this makes you look in the eyes of many Americans.

And while you're at it, you could consider a little paint here and there where the students actually have class, not just prettying up the outside all the time so none of the passersby suspect that the historic preservation building is held together with duct tape. It's disgraceful. And I went to a PUBLIC SCHOOL, where a map fell of the wall during class and hit me on the head, so I know a little about class in shitty conditions.

GQ fast and loose with Washington

Wonkette was kind enough today to bring GQ's list of Washington's 50 most powerful people to our attention. The only problem is GQ has obviously never set foot in the city of Washington.

I mean, we all have a copy of Capitol Advantage's CONGRESS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS and we all know how to access the SOPR lobbyist filing site but this GQ list is like watching the Oscars and deciding that Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Denzel Washington are the biggest dogs in Hollywood.

This list is a great Who's Who reference for the next Clinton White House (Nancy Jacobson Penn made the list?! Are you fucking serious?! Raise your hand if you've ever set foot in that bitch's house. No one? Ok seriously, if I want to smell my own farts with eleven other assholes I'll pony up forty dollars and buy some brandy glasses)

I'm only happy that a restaurant (a franchise steak house, no less) and a dead president beat out actual people who work/live/gladhand in the city.

Where's Franco Nuschese on this list? Christopher Hitchens? Wonkette? Larry at Pearson's Liquor (he can get you a-n-y bottle of a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g within a week, which is invaluable in a booze lubricated city)? And while we're nominating restaurants--Perry's, Central, BLT, Bistro Bis, Bombay Club, Blue Duck, Tabard Inn?

GQ, tighten your shit up. Oh, and Conde Nast, word on the street is that you're hemorrhaging money. Might want to tighten the tourniquet on your finances or, you know, learn how to make an e-publication or something.
