I feel for you.

Facing dramatic budget shortfalls, classes being cut and such, the Student Union of SDSU voted to have unisex bathrooms created to make transgender individuals more comfortable.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[shhrubbery!]

I'm glad there's at least one conservative at your school (you). But what made you decide to go there?

[Shermy]

Recital: "New Directions for Tuba" by Gary Buttery, 8 pm, Evans, $10 general, $5 student & senior citizens, free to CC students with ID. x2720

Sounds like cutting-edge stuff.

[SoDak]

I hope you mean San Diego State.

[nocommies]

this is painful, do we need to wonder where young liberal thinkers come from? what a cesspool!!

[nocommies]

any PRO war activities planned???

i think not!

[amused]

I hope you mean San Diego State.

Sending you sunshine thoughts from a glorious day here in Shangri La.

[Zathras]

When is "White Conservative Castration Day"?
So sorry for your plight.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Last year we toured "Conn College" with my youngest.
I was ordered to keep my mouth shut in advance.
But after a walk around campus, listening to the tour guide babble on about one commie guest speaker after another, from Mya Angelou(?) to Maddie Dullbite to Nelson Mandela and worse, I finally asked, "Don't you ever have a guest speaker who doesn't hate America? Why don't you call this place Commie College?"

I couldn't tell from the deathly silence if the rest of the tour agreed with me or was outraged and too shocked by my rampant yahooism to respond.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

To the Willimantic Food Cooperative

I've been there (my sister took me -- she's very liberal). Now you can understand what my screen name refers to. I live in the no-man's-land between Yale and Harvard, not too far from this college. Free Republic is my lifeline!

[freedomson]

"New Directions for Tuba"

That's a misprint, it should read, 'New Directions for Tubba'.

As in 'Bubba & Tubba'.

[pabianice]

"Stupid is as stupid does."

[Billthedrill]

Panel: "What does it mean to be white?" perspectives of whiteness on campus and in the community. Panelists: Kamau Birago, assistant professor of sociology, Blanche Boyd, Roman S. & Tatiana Weller Professor of English, and Mab Segrest, visiting associate professor of gender and women´s studies...

Egad - I do believe you've hit the proverbial po-mo trifecta here - sociology, litcrit, and, heaven help us, "gender" studies...
