Bill Maher on Islam
Watch this quick interview with Bill Maher. Now, answer one question — do Maher’s opinions make him a bigot?
Glenn Beck, civil libertarian
Regarding the rights of the failed NYC bomber, the following quote from conservative commentator Glenn Beck will cause consternation from my academic colleagues:
“He’s a citizen of the United States, so I say we uphold the laws and the Constitution on citizens,” Mr. Beck said. “He has all the rights under the Constitution. We don’t shred the Constitution when it’s popular.”
Does not compute, Will Robinson!
Bohemian Break
Here’s the latest class video — sorry about the sound. I’ll need to invest in a better Flip Video recorder.
Oh, and the recorder AND the fancy pants will be accompanying me to Abu Dhabi.
To graduating seniors
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
You’ll look up and down streets. Look’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down a not-so-good street.
And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there in the wide open air.
