THE ROUNDUP
Quick takes on a few of today's news items
In what could be the biggest blunder in the history of academia, Cornell University
mistakenly sent out congratulatory emails to high school seniors who were previously denied admission. So is Cornell now trying to make even its
rejects commit suicide too? Jeez.
The KKK has announced that it would like to support Augusta National's exclusionary policies by
holding a rally outside the famed golf course. Is there anything more damning to a movement than getting an endorsement from the Klan?
If you watched the Grammys like I did last Sunday, you were left with one lingering question: Who was
that random black guy who went up on stage with the Foo Fighters? For those who missed the ceremony, after Dave Grohl & Co. gave their acceptance speeches, some dude stepped up to the mike and gave effusively praised B.B. King. There was no explanation and the crowd, including a confused-looking P. Diddy, clapped in approval. Well, Entertainment Weekly has identified the mystery man, and it's not the first podium he's crashed. However, we all know that the title of greatest ever must go to 'Ol Dirty "Wu Tang is for the children!!!" Bastard.
