I find this bit about teaching "college students to use analytical thinking in the development of new ideas" interesting. Before you develop new ideas, you should first make sure you understand the ones that are already in existence, some of which have been around for a long time and were developed by some very sharp cookies.

Ah, but Blue, liberals so love to be bashed, or to think they're being bashed. Otherwise they can't feel sorry for themselves as sensitive plants, misunderstood, wiser than the rest of us ... oh, let's just have a pity party for the poor dears.
ReplyDeleteWell, Frank, let's have some kind of party, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWe can invite the pity me liberals that you see and the closeted gay ol' conservatives I see and maybe we can find a way to have an election without demonizing the labels people use. After all, with the election cycle becoming such a constant media blitz nowadays, us purples & maroons need some relief from the venom, right? Even when it's as obliquely executed as this skool days piece it is wearisome. What do you think, could it happen? Probably not, huh? How would the Foleys and Craigs of the world get elected then?

Why the Foleys and Craigs could move to Massachusetts and follow in the footsteps of Gerry Studds and Barney Frank. There's always plenty of hypocrisy to go around. (Though we certainly do agree about the interminability of the election cycle. One of the problems with journalism is the presumption on the part of so many in the profession that everyone is a policy wonk at heart. Not me.)
