Picture it: An obsequious throng seeks to curry favor from the higher-ups. The ambitious and the career-obsessed unflinchingly spout false compliments in order to get ahead. And anyone who rejects this system of self-serving superficiality and farce, but instead feels compelled to always speak the truth, is reviled as an aberration.

You might have heard of “Minnesota Nice,” but as far as I’m concerned, it stops right where my personal bubble starts. Throughout my childhood, I didn’t like to touch people in public. I’m not talking about regular public displays of affection, although I rarely support that either.

They say we are given to experience God’s will only in very small ways. Well, dude, I ain’t feeling it at all. I’m pretty sure, in fact, that the will of God is entirely absent from my Henle home.

You’re coming back late from a club, and you just want to get home. Or you’re late for a job interview across town. Maybe you just don’t feel like navigating three different bus routes to get to your destination. Take a cab! But the system is so confusing, you’re worried about how much you’ll have to pay.

Another basketball season is rapidly approaching. I’m not talking about the basketball played by our beloved Hoyas over at the MCI Center. No, this game is played in the humid squalor of Yates with no spectators other than those who happen to be working out on the exercise machines above the courts.
