Gone are the hot breakfasts in most dorms and the pastries at Widener Library. Varsity athletes are no longer guaranteed free sweat suits, and just this week came the jarring news that professors will go without cookies at faculty meetings.*MM begins to sarcastically play the sympathy violin.*
Boo hoo! No cookies! Yeah, people are losing their jobs all over the country, and those poor, downtrodden Harvard professors have to give up their free cookies. Waaaaahhhh!
Of course, this will cause mass panic among starving, impoverished grad students, since we rush to scrounge the leftover cookies from such faculty meetings. Yes, grad students are like hyenas and vultures. Yes, we were doing this even before the financial apocalypse!
OK, I've been dying to use the following image for a really long time. No cookies??? Cookie Monster is NOT pleased! (Slight language alert.)

Good laugh. Thanks.
But maybe there are still some pretzels to go with those White House beers.
Hey, were there taxpayer-funded pretzels and peanuts at the Beer Summit?
Captioned Cookie Monster - LOL
You have a most wonderfully entertaining blog, Minerva.
Of course, Harvard "Could" serve cookies of 24k gold and NEVER miss the pelf.
Stay on groovin' safari,

One: They had pastries at Widener? Why the heck didn't anyone tell me that!? I knew it; they all hated me!
Two: We have varsity athletes?
Three: Great Cookie Monster! I was appalled the last time I watched Sesame Street and saw him forced to prostitute himself to the Health Industrial Complex.
