I can't make sense of the title of this thread and the article doesn't help either???
With job skills like that they wonder about glass ceilings and equal pay.
Must be....they'd obviously have to have intercourse to get pregnant!

Dr. Wade,
I am curious, as I have stumbled upon several web pages that quote you as saying "shut the f***, bitch" to a scheduled speaker at a government sponsored event.
Could you please confirm or deny this?
The referenced speaker was Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and the event was the conference on "Boy Talk" (a program sponsored by the Center for Substance Abuse and Prevention (CSAP) of the Department of Health and Human Services).
Thank you in advance for your most timely reply,

This sounds as exciting as when, in 1989, a doctor from Florida, attending his class reunion at Yale, burned "Nelson Mandela City." NM City was a mock shantytown constructed of scrap lumber and boxes by radical leftist student groups on the square at Yale's Woolsley Hall where the men of Yale who have fallen in battle in service to our country are honored. It was a big pile of trash desecrating the memorial, where occasionally, leftists would sleep in overnite to show ther "solidarity" with the African National Congress. There was usually some volunteer hanging around to "guard" the shantytown. However, one particular morning, whoever was supposed to be on "guard duty" had partied too much the night before, or something, and was not at his or her post. While out for his morning jog, the good doctor set fire to the shantytown and it burned to the ground. He was spotted by another early morning jogger who followed him and apparently became a witness for the prosecution after the doctor was charged with arson. Oh the self-rightious hue and cry by campus leftists after that incident!:

I woke up dopey. Accidentally hit her in the ribs with my elbow.
Gosh, that reminds me of my carefree grad school days when all the white heterosexual males were run out of the Conference On Diversity. Seems our presence there fostered a climate of bigotry and hate and was not welcome.
Oh well. . . you try to be a nice guy and they just won't let you.
I don't see it, either. Is she giving a speech? Will there be a debate? What's going to happen Monday?
Welcome aboard. Well-written commentary, grammatically correct, with perfect spelling. You sure you're in the right place? :)
That probably should read "political correctitude." I think one of the Womens' Studies professors has gotten control of my keyboard.
Oh, okay.
They put the chains on themselves . I thought the irony was perfect since the same stupid leftist attitudes are what keep black people in chains of poverty and exclusion.
Unfortunately I also was studying engineering and had NO time to go make fun of them.
