A bit of Monday merriment:
When the Ole Miss administration voted to chuck Colonel Reb as the school?s official mascot in 2003, chances are they didn?t have Admiral Ackbar in mind as a replacement.

And why shouldn?t he be? From his command deck on Home One, Ackbar deftly orchestrated one of the greatest military upsets in the history of the Far Away Galaxy. (Mind you, people often forget this salient point since it was, you know, a long, long time ago.)
Supporters observe, “Who wants a Colonel when you could have an Admiral?”
