I've already told my Facebook and Twitter followers this, but effective immediately, I'm going to be suspending my work on my Ph.D. in order to focus on the economy. The American economy is calling for a true leader to try to make things worse when people are trying to actually get something accomplished, and by Jove, I'm just the guy to do it.

Now, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop writing papers, doing readings, going to class, working with colleagues, meeting with my faculty adviser, or accepting my GA salary - but I might try to use my "suspension" to get out of an exam I haven't studied for.

But I'm really, seriously suspending my Ph.D. work. Seriously. You should take my picture while my Ph.D. is in suspension. Do it. Now.
