Dorm of the Dead

From a well-appointed dormitory in our nation's capitol comes a tale of oppression and severe mental cruelty, told by a true victim:

Ms. Seidenschnur, 21, a senior at Washington and Lee, found herself in a political minority as early as high school as she worked in three Republican clubs.

"I was sick of being ridiculed by my teachers for being a Republican: 'Oh, here comes the Republican[.]'"

Oooh, snap! Just brutal.

Get that whiner a blog.

Another junior ideologue is more candid about the shortcomings of his upbringing:

"Being raised a Christian, with family values, I want to make sure I have a solid philosophical footing[.]"

But some of the more savvy youngsters know exactly what game is being played:

Katherine Rogers, a junior at Georgetown, is spending the summer in the Keith and Lois Mitchell room.... Ms. Rogers's father is a longtime Heritage donor, and she is working in donor relations, which she thinks will be useful in her intended career as a pharmaceutical lobbyist.

Rogers hopes to bribe her first Majority Leader before she's 25, and to become Rush Limbaugh's dealer by 30.

I just pray Heritage does something about the ungodly comingling of the sexes which is rampant in their dormitory. In their case, dormcest would be a crime against humanity.
