The David Horowitz post we all knew was coming

Last night:
sabotabby: I'm bored at work.
brownfist: Blog like a madwoman!
sabotabby: Well, I was going to write a post about David Horowitz, but it's just too easy.

There's an old joke about a Jewish guy reading an Arab newspaper, because the news in it is so much better. That's kind of how I feel about David Horowitz. I see the Left losing on so many fronts, at least in North America, but a quick trip over to Discover the Network and I'm reminded that we're swimming in cash and political connections and totally kicking the neo-cons' asses. Awesome.

Now, I'm pissed that I don't rate high enough to get on that site (although some of my best friends are terrorists), so I can totally understand why some people are irked that they didn't get to be on his poll of the worst professor in America. (Apparently the man to beat is Michael Bérubé.)

Everyone likes a good contest, of course, but in all honesty, this promotional stunt for D Ho's book, The Professors, is serious business. After all, education ought to be dangerous; that's why school administrators work so hard to make sure that no one gets a proper one. (I'm looking at you, Arizona.)

Here's a good look into D Ho's twisted psyche.

I'm currently reading God, Guns, & Rock'N'Roll by Ted Nugent. It's really good so far! The first chapter has our hero rushing to the aid of a defenseless (albeit armed) plainclothes cop. For the next little while, this blog will have a new feature, the Ted Nugent Quote of the Day, because the book is just that good.

Today's quote:

Some folks might remember that George Bernard Shaw—a sandal-wearing socialist vegetarian—tried to reform the spelling of the English language. Big deal. Big musty flop. This book—by the hard-drivin', hard-lovin', full-throbbin', high-octane, deerslayin'. allthings-scarin', ballistic guitarboy—Nugetizes it. Get ready to rock, doc.
