Elle’s Monday Motivation

Elle — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:00:31 +0000

Our blog mascot’s (sorta) weekly thought to get you moving on a Monday morning.

No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg. ~ Frederica Mathewes-Green*

Apparently it’s abortion week in Con Law class and everyone is being respectful, well-behaved, and saying things that are reasonable and supported by (something like) logic. In other words, it’s boring and no fun at all.

*Yes, I know Mathewes-Green is actually anti-choice and I disagree with much of her point of view, but it’s still a valid insight regardless of the source. Dammit, now I’m being reasonable. Where’s that tea party spirit when you need it?

Our blog mascot offers some words of inspiration:

Well, look who got herself a jerb. Of course, she walked away from a very important and secure jerb in the middle of record 10% unemployment, so I’m glad she was able to land on her feet when so many qualified folks with advanced degrees and expertise are having trouble finding work.

No one can be right all of the time, but it helps to be right most of the time. ~Robert Half (with suggested edits by Elle)

Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude

Jere’s first final exam of the semester is happening this morning. One week to go and I get to reclaim my role as the cranky and insufferable member of this bloggy team. In actually interesting news, happy Agnostica!

Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it. ~ Stephen Vizinczey
