Quote du jour, to be sure. thenewrepublic: “One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o’clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they’re looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an a**hole. This was the latter case.” Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University, on the Winklevoss twins

An Ode to Abbottabad

thenewrepublic:

I adored the place from the first sight
And was happy that my coming here was right

And eight good years here passed very soon
And we leave our perhaps on a sunny noon

Oh Abbottabad we are leaving you now
To your natural beauty do I bow

Perhaps your winds sound will never reach my ear
My gift for you is a few sad tears

I bid you farewell with a heavy heart
Never from my mind will your memories thwart.

—James Abbott, founder of the town in which Osama bin Laden was killed
