Ironic Republicanism Dept.

On the same day that Wonkette made fun of the New York Times’ latest “ironic Republicans” story (this time, it’s “Republican punk rock”), the Justice has gotten into the act as well, with both a feature story and positive editorial about the emerging groundswell of political conservatism at the Non-Sectarian Jewish-Sponsored Home of “Social Justice,” Brandeis University.

Jaws is thrilled, though he’s for some reason not mentioned in the story; I’m not myself a Republican but I have to admire anyone with enough courage to espouse conservative ideals at ‘deis, a school where roughly half the population arrives with the expectation that the GOP and the KKK are more or less the same thing.

Still, I’m already looking forward to next week’s angry letters to the editor- I wonder how many of them will use the phrase “paradigm shift.”

I wasn't featured/mentioned in the story b/c I wasn't there when they did the interview or picture taking (I had my weekly Monday night lacrosse game).

And so far, we've had our signs vandalized in less than 24 hrs, and some administrator harassed the girls tabling in Usdan.

Oh boy! Paradigm shift!
