I mean he is a yalie, so this isn't a shock. But its funny nonetheless. [http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/]

Cornell is mentioned in the previous days strip.

What's Rensselaer? ;-)

check the comic the day after that one, they mention RPI and RIT (I read them a few days ago in the Daily Sun)

She's leaning towards Cornell by the end of today's strip:

Jesus, has Trudeau been even remotely funny, even once, since 1975?

Does Bill Gates have some sort of affiliation with Harvard? In the 5/9 strip, he called on their behalf. You'd think after he ponied up that dough to Cornell, he'd be on the good guys' side. Unless he's also given big bucks to Harvard (probably has - who hasn't?).

He attended Harvard and turned pro during his Junior year.

Reading the Blowback section can be more entertaining than the strip.

Read "Trout Fishing in the Reflecting Pool" and get back to me.

I can remember thinking, when he took his sabatical, "stay down, Rock, stay down!" The updating the characters bit, which now appears to be well into its 3000th year, has never worked. The strip should be renamed "The Precious Beltway Hipster Who Never Grew Up."

Agnew was right, and that's saying something. A nattering nabob.

Straw poll. Cornell losing handily. Stuff if you care or have nothing better to do, I guess...

This Rensselaer place...I wonder if they're anywhere near RPI? "building a world class supercomputing center?" How about a school that already HAS a world class supercomputing center. And don't even get me started about mentioning nanotech under this school rather than another one on the list.

Cornell: well, the transnational buzzword apparently stuck. Oof...we've got the Wolfowitz stigma? Reno, Ginsberg, and Dryden. They trump Wolfowitz and Bettman, right?

MIT: um...aw crap.
