3. The story on D'Souza is rather interesting
First of all, knowing how Ivy League admissions work, I'm almost positive that he got extra points for being Asian and for being an immigrant. Yet he has made a career of speaking against affirmative action. I wonder which "qualified white middle class student" was denied admission so that D'Souza could attend. :sarcasm:

Second, his "conversion" to conservatism was almost funny. It seems that his poor little eyes were traumatized by the sight of men dancing together when he accidentally wandered into a gay dance, and he searched the campus for a student organization that was dedicated to stamping out such "depravity." He found it at the Dartmouth Review and soon became one of their stars.
