a progressive American vignette

Goldstein? Sounds kinda Jewish.

Is Excitable Andy like the Peter Principle?

“and a million Asians with the last name Dong ”

You got something against Wang?

I’m starting a new internet rumor:Sarah Palin tried to ban books by these renowned authors:

– Claude Balls
– Peter Dragon
– IP Freely
– Willie Makeit
– Betty Dont
– Erasmus B. Black

My Newspeak, Eleventh Edition, will unwrite fullwise these thoughtcrimes.BHO! BHO!Ingsoc is victory.

I guess it’s a good thing I don’t wear my Miroslav Satan jersey anymore.Then again, THAT would probably be acceptable.

Well in his defense, it does look a lot like profanity.

This is why we need Jeff G. TV!PJTV so Tina Fey.

“sounded too much like a profanity.”

That was niggardly of them.

There are many Cub’s fans who think Fukudome is a curse.

The first generation Cambodian-American clarinet player in my girls’ band:

Dung Tram

there was also the kid in their grade school – Vietnamese immigrant – and the secretary registering the boy gently suggested to the parents that he use the name “Nguyen Vu” instead of the one they wanted to register him under:

Phuc Vu

Goodthing she isn’t into Olympic volleyball champions.

Did the dean make her write “I would vote for Obama if I were 18” ten times on the blackboard…. I’m sorry, I meant whiteboard

I guess it’s a good thing the local bank managers wife didn’t go to school there.I kid you not, the womans name is Ophelia Dick.Her husband, the bank manager is Thomas Dick.They are both very respected in our community but the poor woman couldn’t even write her name on a check and donate money to that school I guess.

Did Tom Dick have a son named Harry?

Philadelphia Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee must be causing conniptions among the Just Say No crowd.

Yo Bros before Hoes doesn’t do it?

No comment

No comment.

My mother went to high school with a girl whose last name was Hogg.

First name Imogene. Known as Ima.

Why yes, Your Honor, I do think the Lizzie Borden re-enactment was justifiable homicide.

How about a Dick Trickle hat?

Barack Hussein Obama

Ima Hogg (1882-1975) was a prominent Texas philanthropist and art collector. Youse can look it up.

In the movies, Fukudome would show up to save the school team, which would forever after wear custom-embroidered “Chicago Dumb-Asses” jerseys. This must not have been a North Side school, huh.

In tragically related news, Matsushita Electric is finally admitting that everybody knows it’s Panasonic, so I guess Hiro Panasonic will be qualifying for next year’s Indy 500. Y’wanna guess who brings the first competitive electric roadster?

Anyone here know Amanda Kissinhug? I need Amanda Kissinhug!

So…am I still ok with “Bonesteel?”

‘Cause after three hundred years, gettin’ used to usin’ the original Teutonic spelling would be a pain after all these years.

Of course, translating it and callin’ myself “The Green Lady’s Dagger” would be kind of fun…

I’m sure you are welcome at Moe’s

Looks like the school is exhibiting niggardly quantities of common sense here.

What?

This guy could not be reached for comment.

The dean of the high school? How could you possibly be the dean of a high school and not be a pretentious twit? The poor guy is just living down to expectations.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Fukudome.

Mad Andi Sullivan in Beyond Fukudome: Two men enter, one man leaves.

I received an email from Ben Dover noting that Rosie Palms was looking for Long Duck Dong.

Didn’t know what to make of it…

Better not bring any of the currency from your trip to Vietnam for show and tell.

Btw, my dear Dean, just what is wrong with Uranus?

Saw a business card once for a guy named Harold Ainis.No lie.

I don’t think he’s even been to Brazil.

Google executive: Soon we shall be able to load the trains with enemies of the state based on internet communication alone. It’s quite a good trend. We used to have to speculate on who was who. It’s going to be so easy and clean this time around.

Ladkule12: LOL! ROFL! Bush sucks!

Gross over-simplification, it’s what’s for brunch at Hooters.

@31: Yes.

If I were the dean of that high school (and God knows that is precisely my aspiration) I’d have made her change the T-shirt just ’cause it was a Cubs shirt.

General principles, ya’ know.

I used to do business with UPS with a guy named Richard Head, who did not want to be called dick under any circumstances, and did not think it was funny.He was a penis breath.

Obama has already picked his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

General Lee Fonda-Cox

Racist and Homophobic.A double-threat guy.

Since the Chicago schools fail so miserably at teaching math, science or raising graduation rates above 50%, They are free to focus on political correctness, wardrobe tipsand attending political rallies to complain about the schools.That academic stuff is just too hard.

this dean is a life long republican

If that is true sashal do you think they will negate the criticism? Do you really think that people in here would say “Oh he is a Republican so it is ok.”?

yes I do believe we won’t see the top post addressing progressive vignette

This is why uniforms end up being popular. The decisions we have to make every day. Must simplify so we can focus on the important.

Short pants and funny hats. No names. Oh, and we have to walk funny.

I dated a girl in college named Maura Dick.

The principal must have been a white sox fan…

But seriously, #42 is completely correct.In today’s publuc school system, not only do our kids get their social justice indoctrination straight up, but they also get a side dose of the individual teachers AFT and/or NEA approved morality; with the added benefit that they can also make medical pronouncements, psychological assessments such as ADD or ADHD, without actually having any medical training at all, outside of a few hours at a seminar…

I mean, this stuff is more important than teaching our kids to read, write, and cypher anyway-right?

@ #43: Which matters because there is not, nor has there ever been, such a thing as a progressive Republican.

Right?

Does anyone have a link to this guys registration as a life long Republican or is this all just conjecture?

McGehee.
i think jeff should start the crusade against the word” progressive” the stupidest description ever.
Who is against progress ( are there anybody?), and why this should be a matter of political affiliation?

Well it is a progression toward European style socialism. If you ask most progressives they view European governments as much more “tolerant” and “fair” whatever the hell that means. Why you would want to emulate an entire continent that is falling behind globally in economics, technology, and whose militaries are obsolete and ineffective, is beyond me.

this dean is a life long republican

Is it just a coincidence that I heard this exact postscript applied about 4 days ago at a dinner where, after describing the allegedly boorish behavior of a certain “rich” couple toward a dog – the couple actually either didn’t like dogs in their house, or else simply despised the politics of the particular “friend” owner of that dog – the Faux Liberal narrator threw in gratuitously and completely out of the blue, “They are life long Republicans”?

I groaned silently and just let it pass, but could have really zinged her where it would have hurtwith a simple one liner [as above] because it involved her father – that is, if I really wanted to throw a gigantic pale over the whole event.

But, luckily, a local redneck guide and outfitter was also present. After a few minutes, he went on a rather involved commentary about Coyotes, in which he described their seemingly rational behavior, holding all of us who love nature and Canines enthralled. All of a sudden he concluded, ” And I don’t think they would vote for Obama”. Smack.

In the 90’s I was sent home from school for wearing a LA Kings jersey. They said it was because it was too close to “gang colors.” Personally, I think the prinicpal was Oilers fan with issues.

Sashal – they need to call themselves progressives, because they know how unpopular it would be to call themselves socialists.

i think jeff should start the crusade against the word” progressive” the stupidest description ever.

Right, I’m sure that’s what Jeff would like to do, especially when the word just happens to fit so well with the disease complex we know as Progressivism. Being fatal, it’s an excellent paradigm of being progressive.

Of course, I’m sure those Che t-shirts are still allowed, if not actually encouraged…

You’re right.

The lunatic left should be referred to as reactionary.

‘Cause they are.

Government educations are like government cheese.Filling, but not very good.

Good thing she didn’t say the Principle was being niggardly.

I saved a wedding announcement from the Huntsville Times mnay years ago for Swallows-Cox.I still have difficulty believing they printed it, or that the couple got beyond the first date without realizing what was coming.

I understood that Barney Frank’s best friend was a Hugh Janus.

Seashell, I’m pretty sure Jeff agrees with you about the value of the label. And I’m pretty sure he’s well aware of the irony of its use by a bunch of left-wing reactionaries.

Doesn’t change the fact your mention of this nitwit’s alleged party affiliation — link? — is completely off point.

wow, kindergarten on the internets.

or that the couple got beyond the first date without realizing what was coming.

Or, you know, realized that awful puns like that one were going to result.
