Freak Driving a Cadillac
The last three days of our honeymoon/vacation, we've been staying with my cousin Kevin and his wife, Tami. They've both lived in Hawai'i for over a decade. To help us travel about the island, Kevin allowed us to use his car, a Cadillac Deville. Yesterday, while visiting a Buddhist temple, a groundskeeper gave me a very odd look as we drove by.
Me: What the fuck is that guy staring at?
Kathleen: The freak driving a Cadillac. You're a little out of place.

Gay Bashers Ignore Issues
Quick post from Honolulu, HI. I was reading the Denver papers this morning and came across a terrific editorial.
Misguided Conservatives
I love this part of the article.
Meanwhile, American soldiers die in Iraq.
Osama's still out there.
North Korea has The Bomb.
So do India and Pakistan. And they hate each other enough to use it.
American tech jobs fly to foreign countries faster than you can say overseas outsourcing, while illegal immigrants fleeing poverty need temporary work visas to draw them into the U.S. tax system.
Tens of millions of people in this country have no way to pay for health care.
Public colleges and universities teeter on bankruptcy because of budget cuts.
Too many Johnnies still can't read.
And yet, conservative politicians and religious groups hope to convince us that what matters most this year when we cast our vote is sexual insecurity.
Shame on us if we let them.

Aloha
While typing this post, I'm looking out my hotel room window at the waves rolling up on Waikiki Beach. After a very long day of travel, Kathleen and I reached Honolulu safely. Our first day in paradise consisted of strolling along the beach, watching the sun set, napping, and dancing at a local Goth/Industrial club. Considering how exhausted we were from our 2 AM wake-up and sprint to DIA, not a bad day.
Today, we're thinking of tackling the Diamond Head climb. Everyone says its the "must do" attraction. Tomorrow, I think we're headed for Pearl Harbor.
Conversation of yesterday
GothGuy: You're not from around here, right?
Me: No. We're from Denver.
Gothguy: I thought so. You don't look like you fit here.
Me: Well, the music is a little different than what we're used to.
Guy: I'm Jason. Welcome to our little corner of the world ::waves a couple people over to introduce us::

Right view of the self
In the beginning mindfulness takes away worries and fears about past and future and keeps us anchored in the present. In the end it points to the right view of the self.

Mars Attacks
Happy holidays, everyone. While most are probably looking forward to a day with family, friends and feasting, I'm keeping at least one eye trained on Mars. As of last evening, Beagle 2 was supposed to have landed on Mars and signaled the orbiting Odyssey satellite. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any communication from the lander. According to European Space Agency officials, all hope is not lost and another communication window opens in approximately eight hours.
Personally, I think the Martians disabled the craft and are laughing hysterically at our crude attempts to explore their planet.

The Ultimate Spin?
Hussein Was Held by Kurds Before U.S. Capture, AFP Reports
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Saddam Hussein was captured by U.S. troops only after being held prisoner by Kurdish forces, who had had drugged and abandoned him, Agence France-Presse reported, citing a Sunday Express newspaper report.
The Kurdish Patriotic Front, which fought alongside U.S. forces during the Iraq war, held Hussien until it negotiated for more political advantage in the Middle East, AFP said, citing the paper, which quoted an unidentified Iraqi intelligence officer.
Hussein, who had been in hiding since April, was captured a week ago about 9 miles south of his hometown of Tikrit in northern Iraq, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, said at a press conference then.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Academic Hell Week is almost over. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't a train. Forty exams to go and another semester will be complete. Better yet, my life will get back to some semblance of normal. Whatever that means. Actually, the craziness of the holiday season is just getting started. Tonight is Xmas with STK's family, tomorrow night is the CSU departmental graduation ceremony, Saturday is an Xmas program with STK's graduate friends, Sunday is a solstice celebration, Monday is final grades due date, Tuesday is Bubba Ho-tep with Raena & Scott, Wednesday morning is breakfast with Mikey & Jennafer, and sometime on Wednesday we make the trek to my folks for Xmas proper. Whew. Oh, did I mention we're leaving for Hawaii on the 26th?
I love the holidays.

You're Being Watched!
The Young Conservatives of Texas have published their Top Ten Professors Who Push a Left-Leaning Ideological Viewpoint on the students of the University of Texas. Some of the offending professors include:
Instructor: Robert Jensen
Department: Journalism
Course Evaluated: Critical Issues in Journalism
Spring 2004 courses: Critical Issues in Journalism
In a survey course about Journalism, one might expect to learn about the industry, some basics about reporting and layout, the history of journalism, the values of a free press and what careers make the news machine function. Instead, Jensen introduces the unsuspecting student to a crash course in socialism, white privilege, the "truth"; about the Persian Gulf War and the role of America as the world's prominent sponsor of terrorism. Jensen half-heartedly attempts to tie his rants to "critical issues" in journalism, insisting his lessons are valid under the guise of teaching potential journalists to "think" about the world around them. Jensen is also renowned for using class time when he teaches Media Law and Ethics to "come out" and analogize gay rights with the civil rights movement. Ostensibly, this relates somehow to his course material.
Instructor: Edmund T. Gordon
Department: African and African-American Studies
Course evaluated: African-American Culture
Spring 2004 courses: Blacks and Resources
A black student in the class who held conservative politics asked what was wrong with being black and conservative, and Gordon implied that if you're black and conservative, you're not black enough, and you're not doing what's in the best interest of the black community. He's called himself a radical and displayed a political agenda of changing students' minds toward a far left ideology. Most of what's taught consists of how blacks were and are oppressed, which would seem to deprive students of other important elements of black culture.
Instructor: Jennifer Suchland
Department: Government
Course: Race, Class, & Gender
Spring 2004 courses: Unspecified GOD 312 section
Since all GOV 312 courses fulfill the second half of the Texas Legislative requirement for 6 college credit hours of U.S. government, not all 49,000 UT students are required to take a GOV 312 class that deals specifically with race, class, and gender issues; there are other GOV 312 sections. However, since GOV 312 is a required class, many UT students may enroll in this section anyway, particularly if it fits their class schedule. This class deals with race, class, and gender issues primarily from a conflict theory or, more accurately, a historical-materialist perspective, as originated by Hegel and Marx, not from a classical liberal worldview. Although during class discussions Suchland allows dissenting ideas, all of the course readings greatly accentuate oppression and exploitation in the U.S. along race, class, and gender lines. If you believe in the American Dream and that the U.S. is a land of great opportunity, nothing in the readings from this class will confirm that belief.
So the Watch List includes 10 professors who teach from a liberal perspective? Ten professors from a school with 49,000 students and thousands of professors and the young conservatives are going to bitch and moan? Are you freaking kidding me? This is typical conservative hyperbole at its best. Any belief contrary to the conservative position is a "danger" and should be discredited as some kind of leftist propaganda. If you read through their Watch List, you'll notice a clear commitment to the traditional ideals of U.S. American culture (i.e. American Dream). The traditional conservative party line, towed unquestioningly by The Young Conservatives of Texas and members of my nuclear family, looks to the past for some idealized notion of American ideologies. A return to the days of the idyllic 1950s is what we need! Malt shops, poodle skirts, Pat Boone, and "We Like Ike." Damn, those were good old days.
In their rush to embrace traditional values, however, conservatives frequently gloss over the truths of the past. They conveniently forget that much of our nation supported and justified racial segregation, restricted the role of women to the domestic sphere, and ignored the growing socio-economic schisms between lower, middle, and upper class. Conservatives would respond to my statement with yet another traditional response: "If people of color, women, and the poor wanted to change their lot in life sooner they should have done something themselves." Pick yourself up by the bootstraps! Additionally, if they'd admit to the difficulties of the past they'd no doubt argue that the problems no longer exist in contemporary society. And that mentality is EXACTLY why we need the professors on the Watch List. Rather than blindly championing the dominant discourses of our culture ("sexism, racism, and classism no longer exist"), these professors offer an alternative reading of our past, present, and future. Let me point out that we're talking about ten professors out of thousands. Ten. In my mind, that isn't nearly enough.
If the Young Conservatives of Colorado ever put out a watch list, I'd better be in the top ten. I'd consider anything less as a complete and utter failure.
Kudos to the professors on the Young Conservatives of Texas Watch List. Keep up the good work!

Avalanche!
I've recovered from my battle with the flu only to find myself buried under an avalanche of final papers. All told, I have 177 final papers to grade in the next three days. Yuu can imagine what I'll be doing almost every waking minute of those three days. I knocked out 34 papers by getting up early this morning and getting right on it. Only 143 remaining. The good news is that I'll be finished with this round of papers by Monday. The bad news is that I'll receive a total of 177 final exams during the upcoming week. All that being said, I'm glad I'm the one doing the grading and not the one taking the final exams.
Thanks to the efforts of Gene, I'm addicted to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In the context of the game, I'm in the process of completing my Jedi Training. I can't tell you how tempted I am to put down the grading and sneak in a little KotOR action.
I'm taking a break from grading this evening to catch a movie with my lovely and alluring wife. We're going to catch The Station Agent at one of the local art house theaters. Next on the Must See list: Bubba Ho-Tep.

Vomit on the Highway
Colorado is being hit by an early outbreak of the flu. Guess who managed to catch it? You guessed it. I started feeling crappy earlier in the week but figured it was a slight cold or something. After all, I haven't been REALLY sick in the better part of a decade. I'm one of those people who simply doesn't get sick. Well, we can change that to usually doesn't get sick. After struggling through three classes yesterday afternoon I retired to my office. I tried to lay down and take a quick power nap (a regular occurence). That's when I realized I wasn't dealing with a cold. Shivering violently, I struggled to the department office for a 2:30. Raena took one look at me and said, "You need to go home." She agreed to go to my late afternoon class and handle some administrative details and let my students know what was up. Bless her.
Let me say that the hour and fifteen minute drive home was perhaps the most miserable moment of my life. Okay, that's probably an exaggeration but not by much. I had to make a pit stop every 20 minutes or so (I won't go into the gruesome details), but managed to make my way toward home. About 20 minutes from home, I knew I wasn't going to make it. I quickly made my way to the left shoulder of I-25 (the major N/S thoroughfare in all of Colorado), turned off the car, threw open the passenger door, and vomited profusely. As I haven't hurled in almost 10 years, I'd forgotten how disgusting the experience can be. With nothing left in my stomach, I finally managed to curtail the violent spasms and raced the rest of the way home.
Since arriving home at 4 PM yesterday, I've been in bed. Although the vomiting has stopped, my body aches and I'm being slammed with a continuous headache. Back to bed.

Outlandish!
This morning, during Communication and Popular Culture, one of my students made an absurd statement. The conversation went something like this.
Me: What are some other live-action children's TV shows?
Student #1: How about Mr. Rogers?
Me: Excellent example. My sister and I loved that show. Except for the episode where they visited the hot dog factory. How disgusting was that vat-o-meat that looked like pink toothpaste? Ugh. Anyway, I think I can still name most of the characters from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
Student #2: Did you know Fred Rogers used to be a Navy Seal?
Me: **almost stunned speechless** What?
Student #2: Yeah. I heard he killed something like 29 people.
Me: Fred Rogers? Where did you hear this? Fred Rogers was minister!
Student #2: I know. But before he was a minister he was a Navy Seal. That's why he always wore a long-sleeve shirt and sweater. He was hiding his tattoos.
Me: I think someone's been feeding you a load of bullshit.
Student #2: I'm serious!
Me: Okay. I'll look into it. If this is true, which I seriously doubt, my entire childhood will have lost all meaning. Mr. Rogers can't be a Navy Seal. He just can't.
Fred Rogers a Navy Seal? Are you freakin' kidding me? Where do students come up with this kind of stuff? As Mr. Hand from Fast Times at Ridgemont High would say, "What are you, people? On dope?!" A quick search on Snopes.com suggests Fred Rogers never hurt a fly. I find the fact that there's an actual urban legends entry on "Fred Rogers and his alleged violent past" very disturbing.

Hair Crisis
I think I've figured out why the Democratic Party is unable to compete with the Republicans. Kucinich, Dean, Clark, and Kerry have almost identical haircuts. Kerry has a little thicker hair than the others, but it's essentially the same friggin lid! Is this what these guys talk about at meeting of the Democratic National Committee?
Chair: Okay, so the resolution passes 134-56. Starting tomorrow, we'll all part our hair on the left side and comb it to the right. That will look so much better than the part on the right thing we've been doing. That's SO Republican.
::groans:: Someone help these poor lost souls.

A Democratic 'Do?
If Kucinich wants my vote, he has to do something with his hair.
Needs a New 'Do
Actually, I think that's how I'll cast my vote in the upcoming election. As none of the candidates does anything for me, I'll select the Democratic candidate with the coolest hair.
