Conservatives would have us believe that this is not a groundless appropriation, that they are in fact a persecuted and marginalized presence on this campus and elsewhere. While it seems monstrously obvious to note that the conservative opinion goes far from unrepresented (one need only look to the Harvard Magazine's execrable cover story on the royal Harvey C. Mansfield '53, Kenan professor of government), more egregious is the theft of minority-rights discourse...
...every day one falls in love. I, however, have fallen. She's not too comely; in fact, she's large, slow and her perfume recalls the aroma of men's bathrooms and elephant cages. Alas, love is blind. I've fallen for Boston's T, which seems more perfect for each of its imperfections...

Public airing of certain tidbits, like the fact that the senator from Arizona uses a nasal spray for his seasonal hay fever, or that he had a herpetic lesion on his genitals (which disappeared without treatment!) may help to dissipate fears of lingering problems brought on by his ordeal as a POW - in part because...
