I got this today, meant to just one guy, but sent to thousands:
David,
Do you know of any academics who are Republicans, or Conservative?
--[name withheld because I feel sorry for this fool], Rockhurst.
It amazes me that everyone, including most academics themselves, think that you have to be liberal or a Democrat to be in academia. It always strikes me as close-minded.
Hey, this is funny. I was appointed by the Governor's office to a state commission, and I had to "disclose" my party affiliation. It said choose "Democrat" or "Republican" and that "Independent" was not acceptable. Not acceptable?
I chose "R" because I participated in the 2000 Republican primary. I wonder what they would do if I participate in the Democratic primary on SUPERTUESDAY. At least that will be after my state senate "confirmation" hearings. I am thinking of joining the Log House Republicans!
Two of my students think it is humorous that I had to fill out a disclosure statement and they are convinced that I will perjure myself before the state senate.
