Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Once a P.C. weenie, always a P.C. weenie

It seems that William and Mary president Gene Nichol [ed.: Thanks to Baron for the correction.] is not backing down on his quest to remove the "century-old" cross from the 260-year-old Wren Chapel. Considering that Gene also contributed to the decision by the school to not fight against the NCAA's (or as I like to call them, the "Indiannapolis Bandits") conquest against the Tribe's feathers logo.

To all W&M alumni: Now might be a good time to withhold your support from the College's Administration. They certainly don't seem to have the interests of the College in mind.

As always, you can share your spine-growing suggestions with Gene at grnich@wm.edu, and thank him for being such a spineless weenie.

Update: Baron Bodissey writes to inform us that he is hosting a petition to have the Cross restored to its rightful place in the Chapel. I plan on signing it--do you?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Just a minor correction -- it's "Nichol", not "Nichols".

I'm a William & Mary alumnus, and we've been posting frequently on both these PC topic. See:

There's a petition that can be signed.

You'll like my revised "Tribe" logo. The new mascot's name is "Plucky"...
