Higher Ed… oh my

Posted on March 28, 2011 by ChrisA

As the semester continued, I slipped further into despair. How could it be that graduate students delivered such appallingly poor papers and presentations?

Liberal death threats

Posted on March 19, 2011 by ChrisA

Tell the truth and they call it lies. Make your point nonviolently and they threaten you. It’s like clockwork. Read about it here. If you haven’t heard about the death threats, you can blame the legacy/main stream media. Shame: Ignoring … Continue reading →

So this is what democracy looks like?

Posted on March 18, 2011 by ChrisA

Death threats on Republicans

Posted on March 14, 2011 by ChrisA

A non event. If it isn’t reported in the “legacy” media did it really happen? Not taking this seriously were ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, and NPR. LexisNexis and closed-caption dump searches of “Wisconsin and ‘death threat’” produced zero results for … Continue reading →
