so today was the last day of classes at dickinson. and in my "recent political thought" class i asked (after i did some card tricks) "for how many of you is this your actually last college class"? half! well that's kind of melancholy and stuff, or hopeful too. actually these people are pretty smart and good, and i shouldn't be a cynic (asshole). plus that class, where we went foucault/habermas/rawls/nozick/walzer was amazingly good and lively. so here's to you, pete backof, mike perinelli (!), matt ropeik,  the amazing alex brown,  brian (inyourface) booher, kate (magic) binetti, jd!, michael (underrated) o'brien, aaron (kickyoass) williams, lamya al-sakkaf (it's been a great run, woman), caroline (college dems) newbould, jon (ok) calka, guy (wherethefuckareyou) citron, hank (mofo) fenton, eric (studmonkey) dube, maya (biceps) ginsberg, even ryan and ryan (and ryan and ryan).
