Well, the good news is, it seems, we intend to continue this tradition. On Nov. 18, Joe the Plumber, the renowned blue-collar man who happened to run into Obama on the campaign trail, is coming to speak.
I have a feeling Joe is going to love it here — it’s mostly his crowd. He will be surrounded by other like-minded conservatives who agree that Marx is a four-letter word. He’ll likely find a crowd receptive and warm to his cautionary and catapulting message and his wisdom anchored in the years of being an unlicensed plumber (not that I care, but it’s true).
Who knows, maybe it’ll be enough to make him conclude, “Those Mormons are alright” in his next book.
Let’s applaud the decision to bring Joe the Plumber to campus. Even if you’re not sold on his blue-collar tao, you can at least bask in the knowledge that you attend an institution that allows for such odd stumping and discourse to occur.
Plus, I’m guessing he isn’t too expensive to bring in — at least let’s hope not. The only disclaimer is that there better not be any complaining the next time a Moore, a Kucinich or some other leftist comes to town.
But of course there will be. Whatever.
As I just commented on the preceding opinion piece that was written about Joe, I object to polarizing figures on both sides of the spectrum. What a waste of time and money. (Hopefully less money this time.)
PS. Are you asserting that “Marx” isn’t actually a word with four letters in it? (I pose that question facetiously. I know how you intended it, but it seemed awkward when reading it.) 😉
Nathan, again, you’re boring. Move out of your mom’s basement, it’s throwing off my game.
@whatever
LOL, but for some reason my boring comments forced you to respond.
PS. Just because I go to the same school as you, doesn’t mean I leech off my parents like you.
Nathan, somehow I don’t think you got it. I clearly implied that I’ve been leeching from YOUR mom.
My response was simply conjecture about how you might have arrived at that conclusion. I’m no psychology major, but I think they call it “projection”.
You’re going back to boring mode dude.
It’s better than idiot mode.
you got me there
Nathan and whatever debating = hilarious.
I try 😛
Nothing like a little lighthearted banter to dispel the boredom of PHYS-2210.
(As noted by whatever, the boring class has clearly bled through to my posts.)
