We all know it's tough being an Ivy League conservative, what with elites and communists and feminists at every step, and tougher still to stand up tall and proud and confess your love for that be-lipsticked pitbull from the North, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (doncha know hahaha *wink* hahaha).

With the start of classes yesterday here at the College, the newly-minted members of the Class of 2011 were flabbergasted at the bizarre world that lay just outside their dorm room windows.

Not sure which is better.
