Happy Australia Day! If you’re planning a trip to Australia, go here for things that a travel agent probably wouldn’t tell you.
Back again after more time away preparing for class. I am happy to report that teaching college is the BOMB! I really love it. Twenty-five kids at a time – 18 & 19-year-olds – looking to me for answers. For direction. They are attentive and interested in the subject. They actually do their assignments and participate in class. We laugh a lot together. Every day a handful stay after class to talk to me about one thing or another. They tell me they are enjoying my class. And the best part? It REALLY gives me hope for the future of our country. WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL LIBERALS! Can I get an AMEN? Power to the people.
And speaking of……….
Left-wing monopoly on campus OH SAY IT AIN’T SO! SAY IT AIN’T! God save our children from heathen liberal professors in the classroom! Yes, there are evil Dems teaching your kids. Get over it and stop being so bloody paranoid you conservative ninnies. Or better yet, quit your high-paying corporate job and do something selfless for a change - like teach. Sure there’s no money in it but……Ay, there’s the rub, eh?
Shock of the week – Liberals in Liberal Arts Education. And more on the subject from Juan Cole. “Liberal academics aren't viciously excluding conservative intellectuals who apply to teach hundreds of students a week for $45,000 a year……….Conservative intellectuals don't have to put up with that kind of thing (that is how they think of the privilege of teaching). They have other opportunities. They can be whales, and can pontificate on morality to the great unwashed.”
Karl Rove Sums it all up for liberals. This cartoon is over a month old but “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” Sutton Impact is the shiznit.
Just another day in paradise. Oh yea. The election will surely go off without a hitch. And then live monkeys will fly outta my butt. Or no, better yet, outta SHRUBYA’S butt! I’d pay to see that.
Don’t go away mad. Just go away. They bought representation with good ole American cash and now they want the goods. Oh Boo-Hoo you Whining Zealot Wankers. Your stupidity knows no bounds. Because honestly, it’s SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT to keep two people who love each other from marrying than say, a bazillion dead (and counting) in Iraq. There’s something really twisted about the way these idiots concern themselves with other peoples’ personal lives. Step the hell down, Fish-Boy.
G.Dub, the king of the scam. Texans knew long ago that Mr. Preznit gives a shit about anyone but the “Have’s” – better known as his base. His legacy will be a trail of dead and crimes against humanity. America should be SO proud.
News conference? PUH-LEEZE! What a freakin’ joke. Here’s Asswipe whacking off in our general direction. Smirk, whack, smirk, whack. It’s extremely tiresome.
Sweet, Sweet Connie. Okay, the entire article isn’t online – obviously they want you to buy the mag to read it – but this article about Connie Hamzy, the infamous Groupie from Little Rock, is both funny and disturbing. And filled with trivia that you won’t see anyplace else. Like, who IS the biggest? The smallest? It’s just weird that somebody actually knows…… (Answers: Biggest = Huey Lewis. Smallest = Peter Frampton.) Huey LEWIS?! WHO KNEW?
Jeff Jacoby's right...academia is dominated by liberals, but that's probably because conservative greed-heads would rather go off into the business world where they can command 6-digit salaries after two years in B-school rather than make $30K as a post-doc after a decade of grad-school impoverishment. But I hail him for his call to get more conservatives into the classroom--not that it'll work, since . And as a start, I call upon Greg Mankiw to get his ass back to Harvard's economics department and stop coming up with new ways for our preznit to destroy our economy.
