Margaret Spellings keeps referring to students as customers. Ms. Spellings, we know you are busy turning our school into University of Phoenix, but please consider using the following words instead: peasants, surfs or even proles. At least then it would be explicit that the University does not value us.
Wow, it really is Pat!
Before we saw Gov. Pat McCrory’s actual video message to the Carolina Panthers, we thought Joanne Spataro’s impersonation was a little over the top. We were dead wrong. Thank you to Spataro for making the parody, but more specifically, thank you for leading us to the real McCrory video.

Good censorship?
The news that ESPN is barring its on-air talent from discussing political issues is conflicting. We like freedom of expression and will miss Bomani Jones’ political opinions, but maybe it’s a good thing Curt Schilling, Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless and Chris Broussard won’t be allowed to influence anyone’s vote.
