From all the links I've seen so far, the only people scandalized by this seem to be journalists. (Who are presumably not NU journalism graduates, since I can't imagine anyone who's lived with the nickname "Medildo" for four years is ever embarrassed by anything ever again.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Compassionately intolerant
This argument came up at my university mumblety years ago when the Methodist Pastor/Professor showed 'alternative lifestyle' films as part of his psychology of sexuality class. (gay men, a paraplegic and his wife, two very old folks) Everyone was invited but no one was required, not even his students. There was a huge hew and cry over decency that nearly ended his career.
I couldn't get why so many people were up in arms about something they hadn't even seen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That quote from the Campus Christian reminds me of the time when I was in college and got asked about Playboy recruiting on campus, as the representative of the feminist organization. I said I thought the whole thing was goofy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I stayed home because the world has been spinning for about 24 hours now.
Possibly I should call my doctor and ask about this.

Definitely, Dana! Dizziness is never a good thing, especially if it lasts that long.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This is from today's Red Eye:
Northwestern issued the following statement: "Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines. The university supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge."
I'm not seeing "hot water." Unless that's a kink for an upcoming lesson.
On the radio this morning after circuitously talking about this story, the DJ played The Moody Blues "Ride My See-Saw."

DUDE. If I have to be responsible today, so do you!
