Well, file this one under IOKIYAR.

It was my understanding that stating political leanings was a tabu in academia, particularly in a venue in which students can see it.

Well, get a load of this little gem and see Political Science professor (called Republican Strategist on the show) "come out" as a full blown conservative wind bag.

Ain't tenure grand. They probably can't touch him.

At a time when the conservasphere is after "liberal elite" professors, here we have this. I am sure there will be no backlash. However, if I or a similarly progressive faculty member dared speak out on an issue, we would be hounded to death.

That's my rant.

I guess it just goes to show IOKIYAR

A viral mail is floating around about "Obama Care" and "Senior Death Warrants".

I need some help with getting to these fact challenged folks. They won't listen of course, as facts have no place in their world, but it's worth a try.

My Mom got this email from her circle of wingnuts.

I haven't seen this phrase much, but it seems that we need to bring it back to life. Really, this diary is about who has "jumped the shark".

I am finding that reading Daily Kos (and staying up on politics) is not helping either my depression or my drinking.

(Note: It's not really problem drinking, but I do have the desire to hide after reading this site).

Therefore, it is time to leave for a while. I don't know how long, but the combination of Copenhagen and Health Care have left me empty.

I truly hope that the crap that came out of the senate helps some people without moving us forward towards Serfdom (which I think it will do).

Copenhagen's disastrous results suggest it won't much matter in 50 years anyway. I weep for my 9 year old son and his future.

Good luck everyone.

This will make me quite unpopular I think, but it's time to look realistically at the "outrage" over AIG "bonuses".

A little outrage over what seems to be undeserved and extravagant bonuses may not be a bad thing on the surface, but take a minute to look below the surface of these retention payments.

I also want to take a minute to address the outrage that shouldn't be there about trips given to top performers.

Folks, these are INVESTMENTS IN HUMAN CAPITAL that will payoff in the long run and are therefore NECESSARY AND GOOD BUSINESS. Join me below the fold for a rational, unemotional look at good business practices.

Yes, yet another in the long stream of Panetta diaries.

The Panetta brouhaha has erupted on DKOS, with impassioned arguments from both sides. I want to lay out my case in a diary, although I know it will quickly vanish.

We know that BushWorld is backwards land, war is peace, up is down, etc.

But, recently, our corporate managers (word chosen purposefully) also seem to live in upside down land.

So - here is the lovely story of my recent trip out of LAX.

I swear, I don't know how much longer I will be willing to fly into the US.

OK, I am finally, officially, tired of the grammar problems, misspellings, and general misuse of aphorisms.

So - fellow Anal Retentives, follow me below the fold for my rant about this.

Dear Senator Clinton,

Prior to this primary, I was a big fan of yours. But, as people going through a divorce often say, "I don't know who you are any more".
