If you think academe is liberal.. Boy, did you underestimate the problem

Here, a senior English professor at a public Colorado university wants to bring professional Obama campaign workers to come to his, and other, classrooms to talk to the students, register them to vote and ask them to help re-elect Obama by joining his campaign.

Here, a Chronicle on Higher Education article on the incident from the man who broke the story and conducts an on-going fight against political bias in the classroom by any party.

125 Wannabe Ted Kennedys found at Harvard

Half of the class “Introduction to Congress” at Harvard is likely cheating. Well!

Ted Kennedy was expelled for cheating at Harvard – twice. As far as I know his cheating wasn’t during this particular class but hey, precocious kids these days have to prepare harder  for life-long jobs in DC.

For Ted Kennedy, Harvard was just a warmup for a lifetime of cheating.

Obama as a TV show?

If this seems silly, keep in mind that it resembles the softball questions punted to President Obama during interviews by MSM ‘ journalists.’ Remember the silly ‘What superpower would you most like to have?’ and Obama said something about flying. So let’s pretend we’re ‘real journalists’ here and have some fun.

Feel free to add any of your own (and please try to keep them PG-13).

1. “Whose Sixteen Trillion Dollar Deficit Is It Anyway?”
2. “Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers”
3. “Extreme Makeover: Constitution Edition”
4. “Who Wants To Hate A Millionaire?”
5. “Czar 54, Where are You?”
6. “The Unemployment Office”
7. “Foreclosed House on the Prairie”
8. “My Favorite Marxist”
9. “I Love Me”
10. “American Idle”

Honorable Mention:

– “America’s Got Trouble” – “Everybody Loves Ramadan”

Mr Scam Man

It’s a parody recorded by a man named Dan Roberts, to the tune of Mr Sandman. Bet you can guess who Mr Scam Man is. Pretty funny.

Greenies in charge: Dying to save gas

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/315236/cafe-kills-michelle-malkin

The new unsupportable – that makes me feel so Jane Austen –  CAFE standards means your new car in a few years will be smaller and lighter. Some manufacturers have suggested not providing spare tires or jacks so they can lighten the car. They’re using lighter and cheaper metals for the frame and engine.

What does this mean? More highway deaths. This should make greenies happy since they want a lower population. Guess the administration thinks some of the deaths will be old people, which will save some Social Security and Medicare money. Hey, everybody’s happy, right?

The real question: what will this accomplish? We have oil here to drill; we don’t need to do this to avoid big imports. Most of us have caught on to the AGW/ Carbon Dioxide scam so those don’t move us. Goodness, greenies have been fighting for this through the 1973 OPEC oil crisis, acid rain, smog, ozone and who knows what else I don’t recall at the moment. It’s always something with them, isn’t it? And that something is worth more than human lives.

Rand Paul cuts his hair

For some reason, his haircut struck me as significant. The haircut looks more mainstream, more ordinary. He’s going to go public more, I think. This convention represents the end of his father’s eminence and the rise of Rand as the family political namesake.  I think it’s the reason Ron Paul played pretty nice with the RNC.

I couldn’t hear his speech last night but people said that Rand Paul warmed up the audience for the night’s agenda.  Listening to the tape today, I agree it’s a good speech and think he’s becoming a more accomplished speaker. Along with the expected libertarian slam on big government spending, Rand brought up optimistic stories of legal immigrants, Ronald Reagan, and his dad. Well worth 17 minutes of your time:

Ron Fournier fulfills low expectations

http://www.redstate.com/2012/08/30/why-ron-fournier-race-baiting-proves-mitt-romney-must-beat-the-liberal-media-not-woo-them/

Fournier looks at Romney and sees racist dog-whistles. No kidding.

One of John McCain’s biggest mistakes in 2008 was that he assumed the liberal media would reward him for years of friendly access to them and political bipartisanship by being fair to him.

I didn’t expect any less from the liberal Ron Fournier, who performed ‘analysis’ at his former job at the Associated Press. He was called in during the 2008 election whenever a hit job on Hillary, Sarah or McCain was needed, but it would be disguised as news analysis. Of course, here’s what you need to remember in regard to the Associated Press and Obama:

In pre-Halloween trick, ABC joins NBC to make GOP minorities…disappear

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matt-hadro/2012/08/29/abc-hosts-liberal-univision-anchor-over-airing-susana-martinezs-rnc-spee  Oh yeah Susana’s a Latino Republican rock star. The MSM can’t have that so ABC joined NBC in making GOP minorities simply disappear. Guess that works with a certain percentage of voters who foolishly trust the MSM for their news. Who knows what would happen if the MSM simply showed the entire anti-Obama speeches by minorities and saw how they were embraced by the GOP?

Instead of showing the Wednesday night RNC speech by NM Guv Susana Martinez, ABC showcased a liberal Univision anchor to talk over her video. Obama supporters Stephanopoulis & Diane Sawyer assisted in the triumph of fear over journalism.

Watching & listening to Ryan while thinking of Biden makes you cry

Here’s a couple of hit tunes from the Ryan speech, which I thought was excellent:

“With all their attack ads, the President is just throwing away money.  And he’s pretty experienced at that!”

     “College graduates should not have to spend their twenties in their childhood bedrooms, looking up at their fading Obama posters and wondering when they will be able to get going in life.”

Paul Ryan  looked young, handsome and fit. As someone remarked, ‘like John F Kennedy, only healthy.’ He came across as very intelligent and calm, reasonable. I thought he spoke  more slowly, which made his words easier to digest.

A vice-president we could be proud of, instead of the Say-Anything Plagiarist Race-Baiting Crazy Uncle Joe.
