Call Him "Dr." Greatest
Muslim ex-boxer Muhammad Ali has been awarded an honorary doctorate by Princeton University.
Ali is best known for winning the heavyweight boxing championship three times. But they don't give you honorary doctorates from prestigious Ivy League universities for being good at boxing. Ali's more relevant accomplishments include graduating from Louis Farrakhan's frenetically anti-Caucasian Nation of Islam, having refused to serve in Vietnam, and throwing an Olympic gold medal in a river to express his contempt for America.
Ali's brains were turned into mush from being punched in the head endless times in the course of his boxing career, a condition known as Pugilistic Parkinsonism. But if Cornel West is qualified to teach at Princeton, "The Greatest" is certainly qualified to hold a degree.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Can't think of a more deserving and appropriate recipient of a Doctorate from Princeton University than Mr. Ali. Embodying all of the attributes of the typical Princeton graduate (ultra-lib; hates America; hates Bush; loves anyone who hates America, especially the Islamofascists; boundless hypocrisy; bottomless "guilt" over being at a socio-economic level anywhere above abject poverty and imminent starvation), Mr. Ali should be pictured on the cover of Princeton University brochures sent to all high school juniors and seniors interested in applying to said "institution of higher education," i.e., indoctrination (mainly in four years of "How to Live Your Life as a Liberal").

I think Ali and Janet Reno should open up some kinda Smoothie Parlor where you get to see them both shake/mix your order. Best name for a band ever: Janet Reno Hand Job.

Muhammad Ali is one of the great figures in American cultural history - I don't know anyone who doesn't love the guy. You guys are in need of lives!
