Giving Thurgreed a chair is nice, but doesn't he really want a Princess Bed?

Because he wants Harvard to have the money now? (Because they need it so bad.)

Because he won't be able to sit in it when he's dead.

Ba-dum-bum. Seriously, chairs are commonly named after living people -- either the donor, or the person the donor chooses to honor. The renaming of the "Tribe Chair" will be a big deal, and used as an opportunity to hit the donor and all of Tribe's admirers up for yet more money.

Will he retire before he dies? Couldn't Tribe move to the Pitcairns and remain a full professor in good standing?

He'll retire when Obama appoints him to the Supreme Court . . .

I understand how chairs work. There was anon donor who wanted one named after Tribe. Tribe evidently thought it a bit odd to have a chair named after him while he's still on the faculty, so asked that the honor be postponed until his retirement. I asked merely why not even longer, since the chair will go on, in theory, forever.

In what kind of sick world do we live where your last pistachio nut, which is almost fully sealed is completely empty? I mean, that's one cruel joke.

Sealed? Pistachio nuts have shells? How depressing it is to hear about a world in which one must engage in the drudgery of repetitive labor for every little morsel of nut one wishes to enjoy. It is almost enough to make me take Penske off the totally respectful ignore.

Today, Harvard Law School, where Tribe teaches con law, received an anonymous gift of $10 million in honor of Tribe. According to an email sent out by Dean and Solicitor General-designate Elena Kagan sent to the HLS faculty, the chair will be named for Tribe (Harvard, Harvard Law) when he retires from the faculty. Until then, by Tribe’s request, the chair will be named for Thurgood Marshall.

They spelled my name wrong.

We in the western states call that a "Lance Armstrong".

$10 million wasn't enough to get the princess bed.

It's like meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife

Like that would keep you from achieving orgasm through unsolicted fellatio.

Because the U would prefer to honor him with a renaming ceremony while he's still alive.
