The Bean

When I was in Chicago I spent some time wandering around the city. Here are some pictures I took of the Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium park. I especially like how you can photograph the reflection of the Chicago skyline.


 

Jon Stewert eviscerates Glenn Beck

I'm not really sure what motivated this, but boy is it great.  This is even more heated than Stewert's deconstruction of Jim Cramer.

Ridiculous

Its a ridiculous thing to vote for taking away someone's rights. I thought Maine would be the one to turn the tide on that one. Guess not.

Some Pictures from The University of Chicago

While I was in Chicago, I stayed at the International House at the University of Chicago. Given that UChiago rejected my grad school application, I took the opportunity to run amok...

...and by that I mean I ran around and took pictures.



My Shining-esque hall at the International House.


My luxurious dormroom.


There were knights.  Seriously.


The buildings at UChicago make it look like Hogwarts.


The business school.


Gargoyles!
The main quad.  Just out of frame: people being studious.



The dining hall.
