oh, boy, this is going to be great!
I love the smell of wrongheaded academic equivocation in the morning!! Another pile of offal for you to toy with, my brethren.
Enjoy!
“like a fine truffle laden gravy from a standing rib roast.”–for this metaphor, I am beyond flattered, gentlemen. Fisk away.
Points:
1.You mistakenly assume that I locate the problems of the world within the evil Bush…burton/neocon conspiracy. I do not. They are a symptom, not the virus itself. You are not neocons. If you were, you wouldn’t be so boisterous.
2.You imply teaching is not a “real job.” Interesting. And I am a low-level instructor at a public university. I do not have much power to share my kool-aid. By the way, I spent 6 years managing a successful small business before returning to the ivory tower. I spent formative younger years before that working stock (loading and unloading trucks) for a minor mass-retail chain. I have performed social work with DSM-IV diagnosed children–by far the most challenging thing I have ever done. I have had “real jobs” in the past, know what it’s like to live in my car, and even today, while still taking classes and teaching, I have a full-time job outside the skool from 1-10pm. So please refrain from assuming I am your stereotypical tower damsel. I read Hegel, drink Pabst, listen to Skynyrd, AND write manifestos.
3. I never said you are fascists. I said your comments show the first bloody spots of a fascist infection.
4. “I mean, I suppose she calls this thought.”–Do you insult all your guests before calling your troops to take aim?
Like you, I must go to work now. I look forward to checking in on my fate…
You are not a guest, madam, you are a rude, ill informed,and unwelcome intruder, and will be treated as such.
UPDATE: That’s actually not true. We’ll try to treat you nicely.

BTW, Don’t you just LOVE the resume?
Cheers gentlemen. Regardless of the update, obviously you do not take challenges to authority very well (much less well-informed, educated, independent women I suppose). As I am unwelcome in your house of ill-manners, I will leave you be. Have fun agreeing with one another. Lovely place this world, where folks don’t have to encounter difference unless it rudely intrudes into their virtual space…
I was going to go on about some forgiveness, then I read the first post. Flame her. Obama Rama Ding Dong can’t get off the stage fast enough for me.
Tell em to be careful. I’m one of those troops who don’t ever fucking miss.
Oh Bonnie…
You’re welcome.
I’m one of those uneducated bastards who gives you the right to sound as fucking ridiculous as you please.
