Found this photo over at San Diego Indy Media in a post about students protesting the ROTC office at San Diego State University.

What caught my eye was this photo that attempts to say 'Education not War'. What's interesting is how this sign really shows that they're right - especially in the remedial spelling classes that this one young lady seems to be in dire need of. (Note the spelling on the sign)

A brain is a terrible thing to waste....especially when you need someone to spell check your protest signs....

Pre-emptive Resignation

Remember that numbskull prof that opened his big yapper a little too much? The idiot is not unemployed, but not because he was fired - he quit.

Furor Over an E-Mail

In an interview last night, Daly said that he was worried he would be fired Tuesday night and that he has already been told not to show up for the three classes he is scheduled to teach on Tuesday, the next day he would normally be on campus.

So the fool quit just before he got his ass canned.

Daly said he stood by the e-mail message, but that it was being taken out of context.

Say what!? What is wrong with a freakin English teacher that cannot put something into its proper context? Read the email yourself and you decide what 'proper' context he was implying.

He said that the comment about soldiers turning their guns on their superiors was meant "in the most metaphoric sense."

Metaphoric sense? Please....you're attempting to spin your complete loss of intelligence when you clicked on the SEND button. The only people you might convince are kindergarteners.

Also, he said that because Beach was never one of his students and had sent the e-mail message from her personal e-mail account, he thought she was a Young America’s Foundation organizer, and replied with that in mind.

More CYA.

Daly said that if he had known he was writing to a freshman, he would not have changed the political ideas of his note, but would have used a different tone.

Well, now you can practice your 'tone' in the mirror every morning while you comb the classified ads looking for a job moron.

On a lighter note, I'm hoping that Mr. John 'Help Wanted' Daly has a nice Thanksgiving.

Ticket for the Gravy Train

I know that I said I'd never talk about SWWNBN any longer as it gives her unnecessary attention.

This is an exception and not because SWWNBN is penning a book (yawn), but rather a photo that I glommed from Linda at Something...and Half of Something

This photo basically say it about about SWWNBN.

Sheepdog Politics

This was from last Thursday evening and I'm just now getting around to commenting on it:

House votes to reject withdrawal resolution

Following three hours of intense debate, the House voted this evening 403-3 to reject a non-binding resolution to immediately withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.

Responding to a call yesterday by Democratic Rep. Jack Murtha of Pennsylvania to withdraw troops from Iraq, House Republicans had scheduled a quick vote this evening to settle the issue and put lawmakers on the record.

The Republican alternative read: "It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately." It was proposed by Rep. Duncan Hunter of California.

Democrats accused Republicans of changing the meaning of Murtha's proposal. The Democrat hawk has said a smooth withdrawal would take six months.

House GOP leaders expected a swift rejection and that, indeed did occur.

Democrats argued the vote was a political stunt but rallied to vote against it to diminish its significance.

This particular event has a dicotomy: on one hand, it was about time that someone - anyone - put this to a open, public vote. Those certain members of Congress would have the opportunity to openly vote to show that they meant all that vile crap they were spewing were really their intention.

Lindsey Lohan On the other hand, this was a non-binding resolution which meant that the House of Representatives could have been voting on a declaration that Lindsay Lohan is actually an English Sheepdog.....it carried that little weight. Had it been passed by a majority in the House, it still wouldn't make that much of an impact although those anti-war folks would be touting it as though it were a message delivered directly from God himself (even if they don't want God being included in any sort of government function).

So, here is what you got: a useless resolution that enabled anti-war House members to actually put on a 'brave face' and reject it.
