This week, molecular biology student, Jack Johnston ‘16 watched every single episode of House of Cards. He claims the show gave him a better insight into politics, and has fueled his passion for violence.

In his interview with The Freudian Slip, he described his personal transformation. Johnston began to grovel and talk to inanimate objects.

“I’ve loved biology ever since I got to Clark, but when I laid my eyes upon Francis Underwood, everything in me changed.” Johnston now claims that whenever he sees a desk he must bang forcefully upon the wood, and in his words,“Knock knock”.

Once Johnston had caught up on the series, he went directly to the registrar’s office to change his major to Political Science.“I mean, I didn’t know how much fun watching politics was; I thought it was bunch of bullshit talking old white men” Johnston states. Apparently, this has been a phenomena ever since the show began streaming on Netflix. Adjunct Political Science Professor at Clark, Elizabeth Cruz claims the department has “doubled in size, tripled in egotistical tantrums, and quadrupled in shitty southern drawls”.

Johnston, when asked if he wants to become President of the United States in the future replied, “You might very well think that, but I couldn’t possibly comment”.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
