Who says that irony is dead?

< RANT> After spending the last couple of weeks preparing and giving what I thought was a damn good talk on diversity, retention, and recruitment at CPTSC last weekend followed by a paper at Watson on tangentially related issues, I found myself in the position of having to deal with racist rednecks at a restaurant in Louisville on my way home. Let me just say that the theme for the next Watson is going to have to be fanfuckingtastic to get my black ass back in that neck of the woods. < /RANT>
