The GI report is out, and again, those awful red states full of evil rednecks that need to be “educated” about compassion top the list as the Americans who give the most of their income to charity (the GI is proportional to income):

And who are the ten least generous states? […]

After the wedding bombing in Jordan, and the protests, Zarkawi’s family renounced him for his tactics. Understandable, even laudable.

This Lisa Lange bozo is on Neil Cavuto, going on and on about how evil fishing is (she just said Jesus was a vegetarian). So I googled her, and found a whole page of her nonsense.
Are these people born without a common sense gene, is that it?

Other miscellaneous encounters
One day in class, one of my student’s cellphones went off — and he answered it! I walked up, took the phone from him, and said (in a very polite tone): “Mr. J*n*s can’t talk right now. He’s in the middle of class.”
The woman at the other end — I assume it was […]

Then there was the goth. You don’t see many goth students in business schools (and isn’t goth just too ten years ago?) but I had one. She was always interrupting to go on about the rainforest, or corporate conspiracies, or something.
Now I have a policy: I never bring politics into the class unless I have […]

Who are these assclowns?

First, we have all the “Bush lied! We want a commission! We want a vote on whether we should pull out now!” crap last week. Well, the GOP called them on it, and the Dems lost.

Miss C*wp*r and Miss H*hrl*nb*rg*r
Again, the first day of the first week of the semester. Five minutes or so after class began, Miss C*wp*r waltzed in, as if interrupting the class were perfectly normal, saw that the lights were off (I was doing a Powerpoint presentation), snorted, and stood right in front of the room, […]

Miss B*nc* and I had our first encounter the first day of class — as in the first day of class, in the first week of the semester. She sat with her chin in her hand as she looked out the window, and every minute or so she would let out a very loud sigh.
Even […]

The latest Strategic Vision poll results are interesting:

If the Republican primary were today, whom would you vote for? (Republicans only)
Lynn Swann…………38%
Bill Scranton………31%
Jeff Piccola……….15%
Undecided………….16%

This is the first time I’ve seen Swann ahead of Scranton. I don’t like one that much more than the other, though I think if he starts seriously campaigning, Swann has no excuse […]

I still think it’s pretty neat.
