Academia

Me: “Academics piss me off. It’s all vain, elitist, intellectual fetishism with no connection to what’s real or what matters.”

Barry: “I know, Palin is such an amazing woman.”

Me: “Um.. What?”

Barry: “Like everything she says is brilliant.”

Me: “actually I don’t…”

Barry: “Its like I’m listening to the soul of the human race through her lips.”

Me: “…”

Barry: “her sweet sweet lips.”

Me: “…I have to leave – I have the uncontrollable urge to get an espresso and a copy of the new york times.”
