Comedy gold

I must say the video of the end of the NYU students' takeover of one of the campus buildings is pure comedy gold.

In my last year at college, the student body exploded over a small problem that had come up (married couples could live on campus, but a "married" gay couple was not allowed to). I felt that at least half the protesters were there because of protest-envy. They knew they missed out on all the really good protests of the 1960's and wanted to get their fun in.

That's what this feels like too. Spoiled kids, floating on their parents' money, desperately trying to relive the glory days that they missed by almost half a century.
