reports on a "new study" which indicates that university "faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have imagined ... By their own description, 72 percent of those teaching at American universities and colleges are liberal and 15 percent are conservative ..."
Someone actually spent time and money to find this out?
What's next? A study to determine if bears shit in the woods?

According to
the Times of London, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is "struggling with depression..."
(Note: You are cordially invited to a pity party at my place tonight at 8. Bring a covered dish.)
A cavalcade of UN scandals -- one of which involves his son Kojo -- is weighing so heavily on Kofi that he may resign, the Times reports. One UN "observer" is quoted as saying that the secretary-general is emotionally at the "bottom of the trough."
Depression is nothing to joke about.
The secretary-general needs to accept that depression is a medical condition for which many forms of treatment are available.
Kofi must aggressively treat his depression before it escalates to a dangerous level. That's why he should discreetly take a few bucks from the UNICEF Tsunami Fund and buy a plentiful supply of Prozac. Or why not just launder the UNICEF cash through Kojo's bank account and then buy the medicine? It's worked before!
Remember: depression is nothing to joke about. (Except when it's about Kofi Annan.)
