There is Quentin, a man from Zimbabwe who moved here to escape the BS known as Robert Mugabe.
There is Major Swanson of Swanblog who is in Iraq kicking ass and taking names...in a legal sense mind you.
There's the best radio show host, though he is not a full time one, Walter E Williams who missed his true calling and became an economist instead...though no doubt he is kicking ass and taking names there as well.
There was Gary who had the most kick ass belt buckle of all who showed up with his family and introduced himself and his family to me at the state fair.
And then there is good ol' Lawrence who was a frequent caller to my radio show in my radio show days who I miss sincerely.
And then I see this BS.
And it angers me because you have got to just wonder how stupid are people. How intellectually impotent one must be to put a freaking noose on the door of a black professor. Not to mention the noose incident in Jena, which I'm sure did not add fuel to the fire.
GROW THE F UP PEOPLE!
Cripes.
Nooses???
What? Is it 1920?
Hard core, evil, tripping-old-people-in-the-streets, kicking-puppies-in-the-yard conservative that I am, and try as I might to uphold my reputation as the evil, hate filled, kicker of kittens that I am, I deem it necessary to condemn such idiotic and ignorant behavior (though, such condemnation would seem to be implied).
Such childishness besmirches the honor and integrity of the men aforementioned above and those like them and shows you they will forever be superior people to the idiots that pulled such a stunt.
And while of course, because I'm a conservative, therefore I MUST be racist, I will ignore the association of racism that comes with conservatism foisted upon us by the left and express my disgust anyway.
Though, not to let readers such as Dtrum and Mr. Fuller down (who are beloved connoisseurs of cynicism), and to uphold my reputation as a cynical, angry man, I would be lying if I did not say that the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up to the point I would assert a 30% chance this may be a set up in the first place.
In either case, both prospects are disgusting and shame is plentiful enough to go around.

Since when did the opinion of an idiot count for anything? Well, I guess since we're in America their opinion counts as much as anybody else's when election season rolls around, but still... people are getting way too worked up over something that, if it's real, isn't worth getting worked up over in the first place.
Stupid people have stupid opinions. Ignore them. What's with all this "We have to stay strong" rhetoric, anyway? There's like a bazillion people who are pissed about this, and some anonymous asshole is the evil oppressor who's threatening to tear them all down. Ignore the asshole. Problem solved.
I wouldn't be so damn skeptical about this if the victim didn't have so much to gain from it all in the first place. She teaches a racial justice course and has written extensively about racism. I noticed some "creative writing" professor (pronounced "couldn't get a real job like a grown-up") blaming it on conservatism. Asshole.
"I know I speak on behalf of every member of our communities in condemning this horrible action."
Except the person who did it, right? Because that person certainly exists and definitely isn't somebody who wants to pretend that they're still being oppressed like it's freaking 1965.
I'll agree with them that the person responsible is an idiot and an asshole. I'm not getting on board with the idea that the opinion of a random bastard means that everybody who isn't white is being constantly oppressed by eeeeevil conservatives.

Never fear, Captain; you'll be back to kicking kittens and tripping old people in no time. :-p
This is singularly idiotic. I can't believe someone was moronic enough to do this. But...there are stupid people everywhere. Even at Columbia. You can't shut up all the stupid people in the world.
Now that I think about it, though, it's nicely ironic that Columbia recently hosted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who's one of the kings of the Stupid Mafia (as well as the We Want To Kill Everyone Who's Not A Shiite Muslim Mafia) and gave him a microphone. So they're not trying to shut up all stupid people. Just the ones who aren't dictators. Go figure.
Eh, I'm ranting. Bah.
