The DNC released its star-studded lily-white line-up for next week’s convention, and boy, are we excited! But perhaps no one’s more excited than the Ace of Spades. The inclusion of professional Julia Sandra Fluke in particular has inspired him, so much so that he changed his Twitter avatar and bio to reflect his esteem for her:

Like, wow. Let me get out a pad and write down everything she says. She's a Law School Graduate.

Right, I don't know if she graduated or not, she could still have the title "Student." Let me sharpen three extra pencils for this.

A student's going to tell me some shit? F*** me, could you give me a head's up? I need a block of six hours to collect up all this learnin'.

I don't know about you, but when someone with 36 credits towards a degree starts talkin', I start listenin'.

EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!!! A Student is here to instruct us.

Whenever I see the Student Driver sign on a car, I slide in right behind it, to take notes. To learn.

"We've got Top Men working on it." "Who?" "Top. Men." "But WHO?" "A couple of Students." "Oh why didn't you say so in the first place?"

Harken, all who can hear; Open your eyes, those that would see the truth. A Student is come.

So if I have this right, and I think I do, each network is going to send a few people to record the philosophical pronouncements of a 3L?

When you are lost, turn to a Student for wisdom in two key areas: Firstly, grand political philosophy. Secondly, what her major is.

A Student shall lead us to the New Zion. She shall lead us… to the part of the Quad where they don't throw frisbees and you can lay out.

By the way, the media could call me "Free Birth Control Advocate," but they won't, as that implies I have an agenda. So The Student it is.

Trouble is, I haven't even graduated law school, so they're stuck with Law School Student.
