Since this came up on a comment thread on another blog, I thought I’d address it here in more depth than I did there.

Understand, many of my students are Republicans (most leftie students don’t want to do business degrees), so I could push my politics on them, and […]

On a week-long trip to Chicago, I discovered that I had forgotten my flag lapel pin. So off I went, in search of a replacement.

This is not a scientific poll. It isn’t objective. It’s far from complete or exhaustive (I’ve only been here since August, after all, so there’s no way it could be).
