xsboy called me around 10:30 pm last night [i had JUST dozed off after the caps game] to say that he saw one of his professors tweet that he could listen to Obama all night long. xsboy wanted a pithy response to tweet back. i said you could say that if he likes listening to Obama he must be a fan of fairytales. He used it and the guy replied that he didn’t agree with everything that obama says but that thinks he is an eloquent speaker. xsboy thought it prudent to stop the back and forth at that point. He said another one of his professors referred to AlGore as the guy who was elected but NOT PERMITTED to be president. My eyes would be rolling back in my skull routinely up there.
Must fry your bacon every day to have your kith and kin in such schools. My husband and I are both UC Berkeley alums, and we were never subjected to such bias from our profs. Of course, that was a LONG time ago.
Should have said “is there some other type of Obama speech?” or “ I guess you can’t afford a proper white noise generator?”
