Hardy Har Har

It was reported that Representative Patrick Kennedy called Senator Scott Brown's candidacy a "joke" because Sen. Brown wanted to be sworn in earlier than the set date.

I think Rep. Kennedy is probably upset because of his late father's position being filled in so abruptly. But more importantly, I can guess he's also pretty irked at the fact that the new Senator is not a Democrat.
Boo hoo hoo. Thou art a grown man Rep. Kennedy! I see no reason to continue this random bashing of Senator Brown. He'a the new Senator. Gey over it.
So, when Rep. Kennedy calls the candidacy a joke, there's only one thing I can say.
It can't be a joke because I'm not laughing.


Another topic I wanted to talk about is partisan politics amongst schoolteachers. I'm not saying there are/aren't any teachers at my own school who discuss their personal political opinions in a classroom setting. In general, I wonder how many elementary, high school, or university professors try to influence their students' political viewpoints. I remember my friend was once verbally condemned by her felloe students and her teacher for openly saying that she supported Proposition 8 (banning gay marriage). I would've expected the teacher to allay the situation or not get involved, but she did quite the opposite.

Sigh. So many problems in the world.
