IIRC, there's quite a bit of scholarship on the demographics of college professors, and I believe they've been trending working class for a few decades, which is part of the reason why they've been getting f***ed economically to the point where the vast majority have no job security and a hefty chunk are eligible for food stamps. That's the dirty little secret about this country "elitist" professors. Even most tenure-track assistant profs that i know still dumpster-dive for furniture. They go to faculty receptions for the free wine and cheese, not to hob-nob w/ high powered ppl, no matter what Romney or Rush or Becks bitch about. F*** those assholes.
Why on earth would someone in Paul Ryan's position publicly admit to liking Rage Against the Machine? From the moment I learned of this tidbit via NPR I expected this kind of embarrassing smackdown to happen within a couple days. It's harmless either way, but from an election standpoint why throw such a juicy hanging curve ball to a slugger like that for no reason? I must wonder if Ryan is equally out of touch with people as Romney is.
I thought this quote from Andrew Sullivan was particularly apt... http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/08/paul-ryan-vs-fiscal-conservatism.html
It's the same reason a devout Catholic (Ryan) decides that Ayn Rand is his muse....until he realizes she's an athiest.
Nice. Being a 'deficit hawk' is really just a code word for 'don't let the other party spend any money and then take control of the purse strings again and then spend money like a drunken sailor'
Well, the famous quote should show everyone that Ryan is an idiot: Ryan said that Ayn Rand is "the reason I got involved in public service..." I wonder about the intellect of someone who would say that. It would be like someone saying, "I read Gandhi's autobiography My Experiments with Truth. That, my friends, is what influenced me to open a chain of steak houses."
Yeah, Ryan had me going talking about Voltaire the other day. He knows Voltaire like I know the major Ming dynasty poets.
Im embarassed that the little douche is my co-communicant. He probably wants to bring back the Latin Mass and veils on women.
I like that a version of the sign on the left showed up on the page somehow, that's the first I'd ever seen it.
I added them for sh*ts and giggles. All their links are extreme right-wing blogs and organizations. IF they are taking the piss, they are doing it with a straight face. If not, they are, as Patton Oswalt once described the KFC bowls, a failure pile in a sadness bowl. Here is their information: Información We promote family values, conservatism and less government.We are also committed to bringing Virginia back into the red column in November, ridding our country of the Islamic Communist that occupies the White House.

What's up with the Spanish? That, and the over the top "Islamic Communist" makes it seem like a parody.
oh...my FB profile is in Spanish. I did a quick copy and paste. My assumption is that the basics will show whatever language you want it to.
If I'm headed down to North Carolina on the first Tuesday of an even month in the near future, I'll have to stop by Brian's Steakhouse and confirm if it's an elaborate joke.
