"Quick! Hide the women and children! It's COLLEGE!"

[veronica_rich]

So today a lovely person passes along this in-all-seriousness press release from an ultra conservative, TEA Party-like group with the subject line - I am not making this up - "Study Shows Colleges Make Graduates More Liberal."

Yeah ........

I am now envisioning College as this Batman-universe Supervillain, with a cape of lambskin parchment with the Socialist Manifesto printed on the back (thanks to crevette for that bit of inspiration), wearing a mask of exaggerated nerd-glasses plastic black ... and of course, a Pocket Protector(TM). His weapons of choice are an acid-laced inkpot and super-sharpened turbo-boosted No. 2 pencils. Being anti-American, of course, his suit's colors are green, black, and orange, with pink sparkly princess boots just to make you wonder if your gaydar ought to be tripping (of course it should - he's LIBERAL).

The only way to defeat College is to find and pull the hidden vacuum-sealed titanium plug in the nape of his neck so that his brains dribble out. And his catchphrase just before he tries to carry out his evil plan of educmacation is something like "It is highly improbable you will ever effect cessation of my dubious neural influence, ha ha!"

I WANT ARTWORK. YOU GUYS. I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE ARTISTS. DON'T TRY TO HIDE FROM ME.

Yes, conservatives. That's right. Don't send your kids to college, please. That will just work out beautifully.
