Young people spend their time in college getting high, getting drunk, and getting off.  So why shouldn’t they major in it?  This seems to be the philosophy of Yale University, where a doctoral candidate is leading a course titled “Dance Music and Nightlife Culture in New York City.”  The class includes DJ speakers, trips to chic clubs Le Bain and the Boom Boom Room, and a seminar on “Looks, Doors and Guest Lists: Getting Past the Velvet Rope.”  The teacher, Madison Moore, says he’s worried “about whether people will think this is serious.  But it’s not just about getting drunk. It’s about the history of it, the Harlem cabarets, understanding race, gender, sex, Prohibition and the law.”  For just the bargain basement price of $53,070 per annum, you can attend Yale and partake in such glorious and insightful learning.

With a $200,000+ degree in Clubbing, no wonder so many college students are joining Occupy Wall Street, where they are calling for jobs commensurate with their educational achievements.  The problem is this: they already have jobs commensurate with their educational achievements.  They are sitting in a park doing nothing for no pay.  Sounds fair when all you know how to do is bat your eyelashes at bouncers.  Read the rest here.

Last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC.  As she walked onstage the pathetically unfunny comedy show – Fallon is so horrifically unfunny that he uncomfortably laughs at his own jokes onstage – the house band, The Roots, played “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.”  Bachmann didn’t catch it.  The Media Research Center and John Nolte at Big Hollywood did.  And it’s reprehensible.

Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, a member of the band (his moniker was likely garnered when his parents watched Dragon Quest and Love Story back to back), released a statement: “The performance was a tongue-in-cheek and spur of the moment decision. The show was not aware of it and I feel bad if her feelings were hurt.  That was not my intention.”  Read the rest here.

President Obama came to office on a promise of unifying America.  He still likes to pretend that he’s interested in the fate of all Americans.  In lateOctober, while travelling on his “non-campaign” bus campaign for re-election, he said,

A number of people have been asking during the course of this road trip, “Why have you been visiting some of the most Republican parts of North Carolina and Virginia?” And what I’ve had to remind them is that I’m not the Democratic president. I’m not the Republican president. I’m the president of the United States of America, and I don’t care what party you belong to. We’re all Americans, and we’re all in this together.

Except for the 1%.  President Obama has also expressed admiration for the Occupy Wall Street movement, which is an almost random agglomeration of leftist causes, all unified by a simple theme: 99% of Americans vs. the top 1% of income earners.  Read the rest here.

The first object of government, wrote James Madison in Federalist Paper No. 10, was to protect the American people from deep turkey fryers. Oh, wait. That was Janet Napolitano, who this week had her Department of Homeland Security release a two-minute video highlighting the incredible danger to Homeland Security posed by these kettles of horror. "We recently tested several models of deep fat turkey fryers," a bureaucratic-looking fellow wearing a hardhat tells the camera, "and find that this method of cooking can be very hazardous." A man-made disaster, if you will.

Undoubtedly, the American people must be protected from the scourge of misused turkey fryers. If we burn ourselves on Thanksgiving dinner, the terrorists will have won.  Read the rest here.
