What The World Needs Now Is Another Timothy Leary
The Star Tribune had a blurb in today's paper (not available online unfortunately) on Jesse Ventura's response to being asked what message he will bring to Harvard. You knew that Jesse was going to be teaching at Harvard didn't you? Anyway here's what "the Mind" had to say:
"I'm sick and tired of the fact that we're at war, and they're no protest going on. So I'm going to be the new Timothy Leary. I'm going to go out and fire up these young college kids so we can get some good protesting, like the '60s."
Ah yes the 60's. The good old days of tuning in, turning on, and dropping out. And the protests? Man, they were the best. Need it even be mentioned that Ventura is a wistfully nostaglic Boomer?
Later Jesse added:
"I'm goin' out there to teach. I don't bother with second-rate schools or the lower division. You know, if you're going to teach, you go to the top, you go to the pinnacle, and where can you go any higher than Harvard? "
Where indeed Jesse? Where indeed?
Rumor has it that with the dawn of the Jesse Ventura Era, the folks at Harvard are considering a new advertising campaign to more accurately reflect the make-up of their faculty.
"Harvard: it's not just for intellectuals anymore."
