If you do not recoil from the injustices and insincerity, the juxtaposition of that title and that name is pants-shittingly hilarious.

Oh anonymous, I find your comment hilarious. Now that we got rid of the law students downtown, well have you seen the downtown lately? It's a "teenage wasteland." Every other building is for rent. I hope this puts our city and county officials out of business and results in complete anarchy. I really do. UPS, the city and the county are so stupid. And so is The State of Washington. Oh, and lest we forget, the federal government. -Whiteperson, class of 1988
Being presidential, apparently, means alienating the community in which your college is situated; manipulating every college process, so that, soon, everyone asks, "Why bother with process?"; not remaining current; playing "pull up the ladder" with other academic women; and selling an academic unit without consulting the faculty. "Being presidential" as opposed to "being a president": the equivalent of truthiness. Presidentialness.
