Larry Milas shuns the spotlight...

...like Paris Hilton shuns the spotlight. Which is to say, he talks about himself every time he can get within 10 feet of a microphone.

This post has absolutely no meaning to anyone outside the 500 or so people intimately connected to Olin College, but I wrote it anyway because the incident is a microcosm of humanity at its obsequious, arrogant, TACKY best.

Give a college a lot of money and they'll name buildings after you, write dreamy missives ignoring all your faults, and manage to forget that you spent the commencement address talking about how great you are, then presented yourself with a present taking credit for the whole graduation! Here's the best part: they'll do it even if you're giving them SOMEONE ELSE'S MONEY.
