Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell (or Christopher Boyle, his birth name) was born July 20, 1965.

He was the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Temple of the Dog.

He grew up in Seattle, Washington (considered to be the birthplace of grunge). He developed an obsession for the Beatles during his early years. During his teenage years he developed a case of depression. He spent most of this time alone at his house; drinking, playing drums, and playing guitar.

He went on to help form Soundgarden in 1984. He originally played drums and sang, but ended up playing guitar and singing. After Soundgarden's breakup in 1997, he went solo. In 2001 he formed Audioslave with the former instrumentalist's from Rage Against the Machine. Audioslave broke up in 2007.
Chris Cornell's cynical view on everyday life and his cryptic vocals give me chills.

Cornell University

"I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study."

Founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell, now a member of the elite group of schools known as the Ivy League. Regarded to be the easiest to get into (due to the state colleges that are branches of the university) but the hardest to stay in. In one article, it was mentioned as "the only campus where you walk up a 45 degree incline in 45 degree weather to get a 45% on a test."

Conservative Correctness

Contrary to popular conservative belief, political correctness is not a solely left-wing phenomenon.
Examples of conservative correctness:

frankfurters became "hot dogs" during world war I

french fries became freedom fries in 2003

David Horowitz's "Academic Bill of Rights"

attempts to "teach the controversy" by creationists in biology courses, and global warming deniers in environmental science courses

Any number of campaigns against plays or films, such as Life of Brian or Jesus Christ Superstar, on the grounds that they are "offensive to Christians;" conservative Catholic groups are particularly fond of this tactic

Encouragement of anti-gay activists to eschew the words "gay" and "homosexual" in favor of such phrases as "unnatural vice" and "anti-Christian"

Global warming deniers whining about being called "deniers." They prefer the term "skeptic."

"Enhanced interrogation techniques"

"Homicide bombing"

Atheist billboards are seen as insensitive to Christians.

Republicans changing the names of committees in the House of Representatives to change "labor" to "workforce" and remove any mention of "civil rights"

Free speech zones

The Dixie Chicks causing controversy by criticizing George Bush

ward churchill getting blasted to high heavens for insulting innocent americans (although this was definitely justified)

The whole fox news "war on christmas" nonsense

Conservatives are just as PC as liberals!

Cornell University

The home of an elite group of scholars at whom Harvard students laugh from ages 18-22, and work for until retirement.

Cordell Effect

When a really smart student tutors a portion of the class and raises the exam average such that the mean grade shifts, making it more difficult for the rest of the class to get ahead of the curve.
Cordell helped eight of his friends understand difficult concepts and get high grades on exams, making the test average significantly higher than the previous year, resulting in the Cordell Effect.
