Notable Quotables at Columbia

By: Sarah Cohler at 1:30 am

because we all like to hear about what’s going on in other people’s lives at Columbia…

CU roommate 1: You can’t recycle used tissues.
CU roommate 2: Oh, you found those?

Prof. o’ Logic: .. object of interest. Object of our desire. Wow. I don’t know where that came from. (pause) I feel really weird now.

Announcer on 1 train: Stay clear of the closing doors, thank you. [pause] I said STAY CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS. DO I HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE?! GET IN OUR GET OUT, SIR!

CU Grad Student: Gossip Girls? I’ve never heard of that.
CU Sophomore: It is only the greatest show in television.
CU Sophomore 2: I hate that show.
CU Soph 1: You only say that because you hate America.
CU Soph 2: No I don’t. I love our country.
CU Soph 1: But Gossip Girls IS the American culture.

CU Student: No, she can’t come out with us. It’s after sundown.
CU Student 2: Wait, can “jew people” have sex?
CU Student 1: I’m not going to answer that question.

Because other people can write much better than I can…

By: Meghan Mannion at 10:50 am

…I thought I would share a few great articles I have read recently.

Well, at least the Commentariat will be fine…right?

A pretty good summation of a pretty popular opinion this morning

Congratulations?

Readers- Armin did an excellent job live-blogging last night’s debate! Read it!

Also, I invite you to watch Pope Benedict XVI as he celebrates mass at Nationals Park (I am watching it on MSNBC- it is also on CNN, and probably other channels). There was a great reading from Romans earlier and an inspiring Homily. I’m also delighted to hear Pope Benedict XVI delivering the Mass in both Spanish and English.
