Brown Student Throws Pies at Tom Friedman, Shoots Guns in Spare Time

So remember when Brown student / enraged leftist Margaree Little pied Tom Friedman in the face and some of us thought it was awesome and others were like, no, I love semi-retarded columns about globalization?  Well, we finally have a visual on her, people. Let's just say it makes her seem a little less like an adorable hippie and a bit too much like a real revolutionary. In retrospect, Tom Friedman got off easy. Up against the wall, motherfuckers.

    Are you serious? There have been some big stories coming out of Dartmouth and you guys are completely ignoring it. Here’s the latest one you guys have missed:

    Hahaha, the linked story is absolutely hilarious. Good thing they’re putting the students first, right?

  3. @d10 Says:

    Wow, I’m suddenly very scared at the prospect of teaching! Perhaps not threatening students would be a good start. Discussion can get quickly out of hand for the untrained teacher…

    Apologies for thread-jacking,

    Northwestern’s directory tells me she might now be in Chicago.

    To continue the thread-jacking…
    First of all, it’s shocking that someone would threaten students with a lawsuit without first determining if she has any legal ground to stand on.
    But really, did anyone else notice the fact that she keeps mentioning this “tell all” book she’s writing? I know she said that it’s not connected to the lawsuit in her interview, but please, when else would she mention it in the same email to her students informing them of the lawsuit. It is so obvious that she’s shamelessly trying to stir up controversy to get a book deal.

    To the post: the girl transferred from Colby. She’s probably defending against bears, not hunting moderates.

    To the more interesting fiasco: “‘I understand that there are such things as bad working environments — a shithole is just a shithole, and that’s not illegal, and I know that,’ she said” is an instant classic. She can accept a shithole as a shithole, but students’ clapping is some sort of intellectual violence. Nice.

    Is it odd that as a city-dwelling, leftist gun-hater I’m kind of turned on by that picture (and our mutual dislike for Tom Friedman)?

  11. Whoops Says:

    Northwestern won’t look kindly on Ms. Venkatesan’s tirade. They’ll probably give her time off to finish her book, take care of legal tussles, find another job….

    As a self-hating liberal with a gun control streak, I don’t find all that much wrong with single load rifles or shot guns. They are fun to shoot a serve a decent purpose.

    @Curious:
    Yeah, it’s pretty disgusting how she is blatantly using this lawsuit for profit. I’m almost ashamed to say that I go to the same school :(

    @Penn ‘08
    Nope, that picture is hot.

  15. Wildmonk Says:

    Lol – She’s holding that rifle like she’s never seen one before. I’ll give her points for trying, tho.

  19. Anon Says:

    Wildmonk might be right. She may have never seen a rifle still; she’s holding a shotgun in the picture. Her left hand’s nearly wrapped around the barrel and her stance is more appropriate for a NJ Path train than skeet shooting… not that there’s much difference.
