Out Damn'd Spot

Sometimes, when reading an article of interest the author doesn't include who, what, when, where, why and how. It's irritating because this is the first rule of good journalism. That's what Mr. Schaeffer told us in our high school journalism class.

I read a story today about a high school teacher(no name) at a high school(no name) in Sacramento. I'm assuming it was in California but the state wasn't listed either.

Here's the gist of the story. This unnamed teacher decided her students shouldn't have to read Shakespeare because he's a white guy. In other words, some cluck from the 1500's was a recipient of white privilege and that's the reason he became famous.

I've slept though many Shakespearean classes and I understand what this teacher is trying to say. Instead of hearing "Et tu Brute" or "Out Damn'd Spot" is she suggesting her students say, "Yo Mama, wus happenin' with the King of Scotland, Ho? Whatever it takes, I guess.

"Hey, it's a lot better than having to slug through the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.

Question Of The Day

If Obama gets credit for killing bin Laden does the same apply to Gov. Andrew Cuomo of  New York? Two escaped killers from a maximum security prison have been on the run, successfully, for over nine days.

"Governor, show us the pictures of you and your staff in the situation room feigning great concern".

Hillary's Greatest Achievement

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked!
My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly
because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the
remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly
focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger
picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very
proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014

And there you have it, folks. Words of wisdom from the smartest women in the world. Sort of brings a tear to you eye doesn't it?

Hillary Doing What She Does Best

0.02% Transgendered In The U.S.

The latest statistics tell us the number of Bruce Jenner's in the United States numbers 0.02%.

That's the reason a high school in Virginia eliminated blue graduation robes for graduating guys and white ones for the girls. They went to a neutral gendered robe. All the kiddies wear the same color.

Another high school has implemented neutral(or is it neutered?) gendered rest rooms. Personally, as a guy, I would have gone for that. I mean, as a high school senior who in their right mind wouldn't have wanted to be in the same potty palace as Diane Dohogne in 1964.

Ding Dong Gone

There won't be picture on this site of the person nominated to win the Arthur Ashe award for courage.

The world is going up in flames yet the entire population is being subjected to a constant barrage of TMZ stories in the national media about someone called Caitlyn.

Courage? What display of true courage has this person shown except to insert breast implants and let his hair grow to shoulder length? Even I could put on eyeliner and lipstick if it was Halloween.

If Caitlyn Jenner wants to gain my respect he needs to go the entire route and cut off his manhood. Then I'll consider him a real man.

Barack Is Certifiably Insane
