Mount Rushmore = “recognizing that some people did something”
Blast it all, that should be carved in stone! I granite y’all heard that one before.
P.S. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I wonder if Harvard has determined that “idiots” are an underrepresented minority. That’s the only way I could imagine some of these people being admitted.
