Others in Ithaca's more politically conservative encampments cringe at the thought of Ithaca's liberal reputation being reinforced...Gee, and what "liberal reputation" could they be speaking of?

Oh, boy. Major freep-op alert.

Cornell hasn't gotten a dime in alumni donations from my wife or me since we left for good in the early 90s. A true bunch of loons. The engineering school was like an oasis in the proverbial desert.

Stupid is, as stupid does.
Let's look at this analytically. Liberal wants to honor France (for whatever inane reasons). He invites French celebrities, orders french wine, ect. ect.
Naturally, many people will be outraged, and will use the Frenchfest to bash, insult, degrade and humiliate the very people that were supposed to be honored. Result, massive personal affront to the France. So, what's next? How about a Saddam Look Alike Contest?? Some people are too stupid to be allowed to breed.

Ithaca is the city of evil? Are you people demented? All this Orwellian "newspeak" of "freedom fries", etc. makes me thing that maybe the GOP is no longer a haven for freedom seeking individuals but a party of Maoist like conformists.

"I certainly can't speak for the French people, but I am for anything that supports the political position to put peace back on earth," he said.Oh good! That means he supports Operation Iraqi Freedom! Cool!

FYI: National Radio Show host Mike Gallagher was railing on about the Ithaca Frenchfest today, further cementing Ithaca's--ahem--liberal reputation throughout this great nation.

I just heard this on Gallagher. I knew you'd have the skinny :) Just think, though, between now and then we'll find out more about what Saddamn has done, and how the French have helped him. Yup, that'll be something to celebrate all right. Go for it, Ithaca.

And New York City will generously donate their $10.00 crack whores for the festival.
Of course this means they cannot shower for a month, must wear lipstick like a clown, need to air out the dug-out, adopt new street names like Collette, Babbette, Monique, and whatever Chirac's daughters are called, and reduce their prices down to $2.00 due to government subsidies.
Spitting after servicing Americans in Ithica is still acceptable.

What outrages me is not so much the French Fest per se, but this statement by its organizer, Paul Glover:
"One-hundred-fifty-thousand Moroccans (French-speaking) marched last week chanting 'Suicide bombing is the path to liberation.' We want to make sure they know Ithaca is against the war,"
No condemnation of suicide bombing by this "peace activist." All he cares about is making sure that they know that Ithaca is with them on the war.
What's worse, in mentioning that the Moroccans are "French-speaking", Glover apparently would like the "Franco-Ithacan Friendship Proclamation" to extend to them.

(Seriously!) I had a dream nightmare that I was on the Cornell campus last night. What does this mean?! That I'm capable of sensing evil from over a 1000 miles away?

When the organizer of this Fest wants to send a message of solidarity to advocates of suicide bombing, I'd say that's evil.
When Maurice Hinchey, the Congressman who represents the City of Ithaca, issues a statement claiming that the US is commiting a "massacre" in Iraq, I'd say that's evil.
