So I figured, what better target for my first website parody!? It’s only the front page (none of the links go anywhere), but it should be good for a laugh—especially to you GMU people. Made in 2003.

Nothing is easier than to falsify the past. Lifeless instruction will do it. If you rob it of vitality, stiffen it with pedantry, sophisticate it with argument, chill it with unsympathetic comment, you render it as dead as any academic exercise.

Woodrow Wilson

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
