Yes, I Am a Pirate, Two Hundred Years Too Late

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a genuine pleasure to return from the blogging abyss. As part of my resurgence, I have a humble request. Here goes nothing...

Dear Kenneth Starr,
I am neither a graduate of Pepperdine Law School, nor am I a fan of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

With those pesky facts out of the way, please allow me to make a not-so-subtle suggestion to you, good sir. In your position as Dean of the Pepperdine University School of Law, you have a great deal of influence on the various honors and accolades that are bestowed by your institution. Please, please, please, for the love of all that is good and holy, make Mr. Mike Leach of Lubbock, Texas the Pepperdine Law alumnus of the year.

Mr. Leach knows that pirates can always defeat soldiers...

He offers great dating advice and recommendations...

He predicts the weather in complete defiance of board-certified meteorologists...

Mr. Starr, I'm sure that your estimable school seeks to produce graduates who are well-rounded and able to impact their world in a number of ways, and honestly, what more could you ask for than a football coach/pirate enthusiast/Casanova/meteorolgist?

Sincerely,

The Running Down a Dream editorial board.
