This'n'That; March Eighth #2; U of R Kerfuffle

Do NOT Engage In Critical Thought!
    Rather than pontificate on the goings-on at the University of Rochester in the last several days, I've included appropriate URLs at the bottom of this post.  Suffice it to say that one Professor Steven Landsburg is in deep shit with the university's hierarchy.  Professor Landsburg authored a blog post critical of Sandra Fluke's PRESENTATION--or rather demand--for free contraception at a hastily Nancy PORKlosi called press conference; the professor did not defend Rush Limbaugh's comments.
    Dr Joel Seligman, President of the University of Rochester, took exception to Professor Landsburg's comments, after misconstruing them.  Check out the various URLs for the--more-or-less--complete details.

This'n'That; October Third #2; MAG

Dog 'Murderer' Exhibition
    Now, socio-fascism has gone too-o-o-o far!!!  The Board of Directors of The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) within The University of Rochester (N.Y.) has completely gone 'off the deep end' in their choices of exhibits and artists at the gallery.  They've contracted with a self-confessed dog 'murderer' to create two sculptures to commemorate the MAG's one-hundredth anniversary.
    The MAG has contracted with miscreant Tom Otterness to create two sculptures for display during said anniversary celebration.  In 1977, said miscreant lied to shelter officials and secured a young puppy, as a 'rescue' animal.  Said miscreant then tied the puppy to a fence and SHOT HIM DEAD!!  Said miscreant filmed the entire episode as 'art(?)'  Where do we find these unfeeling, uncaring and inconsiderate assholes?!?
    Said miscreant's pending sculptures are valued at north of a MILLION BUCKS!  I intend to--as you and you and you and you should,--contact anyone I can find beyond Mary Sue Jack, President of the Gallery Council Board of Directors at (585)533-1829.  The rest of the Board:
Lois Sumberg, First VP
Bonnie Voll, Second VP
Freddie Amstey, Admin Treasurer
Hannah Rosenblatt, Project Co-Treasurer
Kathy Schwingel, Project Co-Treasurer
Connie Klein, Recording Secretary
Carmen Signorino, Corresponding Secretary
  Some readers may know the phone numbers of the above miscreants; I suggest a call to alter their thinking; to alter their questionable choices!
