#1 ...zone lacking all the necessary tools for intellectual work.

Describes the space between their ears perfectly...

#2 Of course, the suburbs are completely suitable places for those brown people.

#3 They claim the EHESS has fallen victim to a Machiavellian plot hatched by President Sarkozys centre-right Government in an attempt to dismantle an antiEstablishment bastion.

Is Sarkozy that good?

#4 but I thought they loved and championed the underclasses. Going to be hard to warp their students empty little heads over the "nobility" of the underclasses when their students have to actually live and walk in bad neighborhoods.

On the bright side, it will be good business for those neighborhoods. No really. It will.

#5 Students should remember to park their cars elsewhere; November is Carbecue time in Paristan.

#6 Going to be hard to warp their students empty little heads over the "nobility" of the underclasses when their students have to actually live and walk in bad neighborhoods.

In the same vain, I nominate the:

Dept. of HUD to move to East St. Louis
Dept. of Justice to New Orleans
Dept. of Agriculture to downtown Manhattan
Dept. of Labor to Detroit
Dept. of Education to Kansas City MO

#7 Words of advice I share with the international students who visit our home: If you want to get a good cross-section of American opinion, you will have to get off campus.

#8 I empathize. Who wants to go into a Algerian/Morrocan area where the closest thing to braised ribs ala Monsiuer Henri is a torched Peugout?

#9 No businesses. No cafés. No restaurants

Non-marxist economists know that businesses, cafes and restaurants follow the money, not vice versa. Build a campus and they will come.

#14 This gave me no small amount of glee. More than say putting Berkeley in the middle of Oakland, this is like putting Berkeley in the middle of South Central LA.
