We got our mid terms back. Before he passed them out he said that the class did not do well. The average was a 70.. which would play out to a C+. I thought, I worked too hard and studied too long to get a C+, so I was very disappointed. Until I got my test back... 95! "A"... either the highest or the 2nd highest grade in the class. (Smeagol takes a bow).
In our talk, I told the professor that I loved politics. He said that he could tell, and I was quite good at it. Then I had to defend Benjamin Netanyahu because he doesn't like Bibi. Well... Besides Reagan and "W", I love Bibi the best. He listened to me while I said Bibi was good for Israel. He thinks the Palis are victims... which I don't. Now he's thinking... I'm a conservative, a republican, and a zionist... I am this man's walking nightmare! :)
The class is boring as all get out (lecture only), but the liberal is turning into one of my favorite professors. I would take a class he was teaching again.
First things first - STRONG COFFEE! My infant was not feeling well at all yesterday and that continued into the night. I was up 3 times with her and finally she passed out cold at around 3:45AM this morning! So, needless to say, I am dragging.
I've put out some juices as well for the caffeine-averse among us. I've baked up some hambuger bun size buttermilk biscuits for breakfast sandwiches this morning. Plenty of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese and mushrooms to stuff them with too! :)
The hot sauce, salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup and mayo is over on the sideboard, along with a couple of platters of french toast & flapjacks. The syrups are to the right there.
Today is Friday - let the feeding begin! ENJOY!
Oh, and Corin, I hope to get to your book today after I tackle the Mount Doom of paperwork on my desk. My prayers are with your family as always.

AHHHHHH! Better?
Hey, I'm still here until this afternoon. Hospice is setting him up at home today.
Look what they've posted over at DU...
Due to the unexpectedly high traffic to our website since election day, we are going to limit access to our message board. Only individuals who have donated to Democratic Underground during the last year will be given access. This is a temporary change which will only be in effect until our traffic returns to its pre-election levels, hopefully very soon.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
It must be a pattern. I also can't get to mysmilies.com...anybody else have that trouble?
I bet the professor cannot stand the fact that you are way smarter than all of his liberal prodigies in that classroom. Tee-hee!
It seems, however, that he cannot help but admire you and enjoys the mental wrestling match against someone with a brain, albeit with different views from his own. Careful carton, you may just lead him into the vast right wing before long.
You should show up next week in an NRA sweatshirt...
He thinks the Palis are victims... which I don't.
They may have been victims once, but their cause ceased to matter in my book on the day of the first suicide bomber. In my world, you cannot be a barbarian one day, and sit down at a table and negotiate with the civilized world the next day with people who are bound by rules. You lose your license. I think we have already given them too much legitimacy, and it will never end.
I agree, I want to find out what happens (in all the stories). All these stories seem lots better than most of the stuff for sale in book stores.
I did something like that to my very liberal figure drawing professor, whom I like.
We have to turn in a self portrait every week, so about a month ago, I handed her one showing me winking, holding a shotgun, with thumb up, and wearing a T-shirt that says "I'M THE NRA."
I supposed that would really pi$$ her off, but no, she loved it, put it in a glass case, it's been on public display in the art building of the community college for a month now.
She told me it made a "political statement," which is something she always wants. I had been trying to figure out how to make a drawing that shows how much liberals make me mad :-)
The Palestinian Authority has two means/goals of fighting, hence the division in the terror groups. Hamas, Islamic Jihad believe that Palestine is for the Palestinians and the Jews must be driven into the sea. Therefore, they will not negotiate at all. When it looks like "peace" might be at hand, they ratchet up the terror.
Arafat believes in incrementalism. Get the West Bank. Get Gaza. Use these territories as bases for further pushes into Israel proper. It's all deception.
Netanyahu says that Arafat is Bin Ladin with good PR. I believe that.
I don't want to clutter up the Hobbit Hole with my views on this subject, but Israel is in danger.
Arafat has broken every promise made at the Oslo Accords, the Hebron Accords, Wye River Accords. When you listen to him in Arabic, he has always said that he has no intention of keeping his word, but uses these accords to strengthen his position and power for the destruction of Israel.
The Palestinian people (and I lived on the West Bank so I do know them) are the pawns. But they are pawns of choice. They go along with their leaders because they believe that in the end, they will win and gather to themselves the spoils of Israel.
The top Dems I picture are Bill and Hillary, Daschle and Jesse Jackson.
By the way... I'm stuffed. Too many pieces of french toast and bacon!
Do you mind if I have another glass of milk! :)
