K-Lo blogs drunk:
re: Civics [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn't George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn't it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How's that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he's a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.
Like I said, crazy. Saturday.
Hunh?
Honestly, what the fuck was that all about? I mean, besides the gibberish. Did she wake up in bed this morning with only herself and decide to chew her own brains out? A "Harvard visiting chair" for W? Hunh-wha? Not unless someone endows the Koko chair.
If K-Lo were any crazier they'd have to bring her down with one of those tranquilizer darts they use on rogue elephants....

She put the “-” in the wrong place. K-Lo meant to type “high End-lectures.”
Get W really loaded and put him at a podium to talk about the Rapture.
At Harvard.
Oh, c’mon. Surely the young are just *clamoring* for George Dubya to “reach out and touch them”. Or else K-Lo is projecting. Ugh.
Batshit!

He couldn’t get a fucking job at Bronson Alcott High in “Clueless.”

I was thinking something in the line of driving the pump truck for the port-a-potty people…I mean if you’re talking aptitude.
All this talk of a post presidency career for W is just crap. He’s going to spend the next several years in a semi-darkened room with a needle hanging out of his arm and a half empty bottle between his thighs. It’ll be a race whether he ODs first or his liver fails.
Perhaps in Uzbekistan or some similar spot far from the USA…
Speaking of hyphens, what’s one doing in “Saturday-morning”? She’s an “editor”, for Christ’s sake!
Having George Bush teach Government would be like me teaching basketball players to dunk.
W couldn’t pass the 8th grade U.S. government exam. Why would anyone want to inflict someone like that on high school kids?
Granted, his social skills would be on a par with some of his students, but those are the kids no one will go to the prom with. Or eat lunch with. Or talk to.
He’s in for a real upset when he finds out people are currently required by law or decorum or financial need to pretend they like him, and in the future there won’t be any of those constraints.
You know, maybe it’s a great idea for W to teach government to High School kids. He could try to tell them about the Unitary Executive, and they would shout him down and laugh him out of the room with their superior knowledge of the three branches of government and how the Constitution is supposed to contain a system of checks and balances. Maybe George might learn something. It’s too bad Congress isn’t as smart as those [hypothetical] high school students.

I can see the headline already: “Freak Pumper Accident Deluges Three Counties in Flaming Sewage; Police Say Driver ‘Incoherent’, Possibly DUI”.
Of course, you just know she wrote that sitting there in her granny panties under her portrait of St. Ronnie, sipping her morning gin & tonic, and wishing Rush’s show was on during the weekend, because she has no fucking life.
I think that the Republicans have reached out and touched enough young people for a while. K Lo’s ungrammatical “…or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them…” shows that she knows as little of parenting as she does of anything else. The first thing that kids do when they reach a certain age is run screaming from their parents’ pop culture.
Sort of pathetic when your “Coyote Ugly” moment involves your right hand. Just saying.
Far be it from me to defend K-Lo’s use of the language — there are plenty of other errors in her, er, oeuvre – but the hyphen in “Saturday-morning” is correct there because she’s using the phrase as an adjective. Actually, there’s more truth than usual in this particular paragraph, since she is totally crazy.
Chimpy will most likely live out the rest of his days in seclusion and under close watch on the family “finca” in Paraguay–well beyond the reach of US Extradition. He’ll be provided with just enough liquor and Rx drugs to keep him from penning tell-all memoirs about the enablers of the most infamous 8 years of sock-puppetry in the anus of history, which incidently would provide residuals that would enable Bush to pursue a degree of better living through chemistry that would make the dearly departed Hunter S. Thompson pea green with envy.
We had a lot of teachers at my high school who reminded me of George W. Bush: stupid, arrogant, probably drunk, and interested only in playing petty power games. How can even a moron like K-Lo fail to see vast amounts of cynicism in the man who lied to get us into war and then cracks jokes about the missing WMD? I think knowledge of the impending Conservapocalypse has melted her three brain cells.
I’ve taught a lot of students like George W. Bush: stupid, arrogant, probably high and interested only in playing petty power games.
I taught ‘em anyway. It’s what we get paid to do. And sophronia? I’m sorry you had “a lot” of teachers like W.
That woman puts the Q in stupid.
I went to Crawford High.
Just not the one in Crawford.
The only “High” in Crawford, Texas, emanates from the C-in-C and his entourage.
Sorry, SufferngBruin, that was meant to be sarcasm but didn’t come across. It was the principals mainly who were stupid, arrogant, etc.
And my school was filled with future Republicans, so the students were nothing better.
2 words.
Cheerleader coach.
A high school teacher? No. Way.
Texas still allows corporal punishment. We’ve seen what George will do when he’s put in charge of “discipline.”
I guarantee that he’d take that job. He’s a big fan of Balki.
Supplementing my earlier thought, why fuck the public school student population? Let him fucking teach at fucking Andover. I’m sure the fer shit certification system among the St. Grottlesex schools would allow this distinguished alumnus to make a happy homecoming.
I mean, they fucking let him in and gave him a fucking diploma, didn’t they?
Hey, you’re right! Sorry. Lack of careful reading is my lame excuse. If you’re going to correct someone’s grammar, make sure you’re right. Embarrassing.
He’d never deign to teach at a public school (not his social class dontcha know), though if he did then Babs would be there, telling the press how sonnyboy’s ministrations have “worked out well for them”. I’m sure Babs would be willing to pay his salary too, but only as long as he gets to use brother Jeb’s lousy edumification software.
Sophronia, thanks for that. I should perhaps apologize for being overly sensitive.
I’ll have one of what K-Lo is having please (heck it’s almost Sunday afternoon).
Only,
make it half as strong. That way there is a chance I might remember my insane babble.
I used to wonder why there are all these ‘certification’ type hoops to jump through before teaching at a public school.
Now, I know.
nah, that actually requires some skill. I think a fill-in at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as a crash test dummy is more his level
