Obamacation

Perhaps he chose the U.S. Virgin Islands for the passport-free travel.

Senator Barack Obama is vacationing on St. Thomas, the most bustling of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Lots of shopping and cruise ship day-trippers there. He must want to be seen...we would have pegged him for a St. John/Caneel Bay sort of guy, ourselves.

CNN has some exclusive stalkercam footage of the senator lounging around and conducting business on his cell phone. Anyone recognize that pool chair? Could he be at the Ritz Carlton - St. Thomas?

Higher Education Can Only Do So Much

We love the internet. Otherwise, we wouldn't be getting a paycheck for what we do. Still, there are times when we must give pause. Yes, pause. We are of an age that, as younger, more irrationally exuberant people, the boneheaded things we did simply disappeared into the ether afterwards. Not anymore. Now, mistakes are forever preserved on the internet, for all to see.

Maybe kids of high school age know that, and maybe they don't. Business School students, though...shouldn't they know better? Apparently not.

To recap, as reported by our sister at HotelChatter: Biz Schoolers get drunk at the Bunker Hill Hotel in St. Thomas, VI. While going for a 3am dip at the hotel, they are mugged at gunpoint by a man with a garbage bag on his face. After realizing the gun was fake--maybe it was made of soap--they tackle the assailant and wrestle him to the ground in their underwear. Then they have a good time, make a video recapping it, and post it on the internets for all to see.

We'd totally trust those fellas with our retirement money; look how well they protect their own.
