Good Riddance

[Michael Yates]

And I certainly never said I loathe mine.  Again, though what difference
does it make if you do or do not loathe them? BTW, just how many do you
teach? per term? how much grad student assistance do you get? How many
courses per term do you teach? You are in such a privileged academic
position, nothing much matters.  Your grandchildren will go to Harvard
too.  So just sit back and enjoy the ride.  Maybe Clinton will come
calling again.  Or Gore if he ever gets to be President. Pay you back
for that statistical expertise you gave to the Florida court.  BTW
again, if I had anything in common with you, I'd hate myself.
