Morons of the Month - October 2014

I realized it's relatively early in the month, but what the heck?  There are no set time parameters when it comes to out-and-out stupidity.

And the students and administration at Goddard College certainly fall under that description.  If your high school kid has this dump on their list to visit on their college tour, please make sure they remove it immediately.   The sooner a place like this closes down, the better.

Never heard of the school?  Well, neither did I until last week.  As far as I know, Goddard's never played in the Rose Bowl.  Frankly, from the description of the university's mission statement, this student body would get the shit kicked out of them in a game of Twister.  You see, they focus on liberal arts.  Their list of famous alumni are a "who's that" of poets, philosophers, and free thinkers.  There are campuses in Vermont, the state of Washington, and apparently Hell.

Their students are so coddled that Goddard doesn't offer exams or tests or grades.  Hey, what a great way to create some mamby pamby adults and condition them for life.   And they schedule a monthly graduation ceremony so that the festivities can be personalized for each student.

What horse shit!

One of those graduation ceremonies happened last weekend.  And the clowns up in Vermont really went to town with their radicalism on this one.  Because the asshole students selected Pennsylvania inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal to be their commencement speaker.

Who?  This guy.

Why do we care?   Because, once again, America flushes just a little bit further down the porcelain bowl.  By allowing this dirtbag anywhere near a college campus.  Abu-Jamal is clearly a piece of crap who needs to crawl back up the dog's ass he was originally shit from.

You see, Abu-Jamal first sentenced to death after being convicted of first-degree murder in the 1981 killing of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. The trial was controversial and highly criticized by human rights group Amnesty International, among others. The former black nationalist carved out a name for himself in prison for his commentary on the U.S. justice system. In 2011 his death sentence was commuted to life without parole.

Hence the pensive head shot.   I wonder if this murderer was that reflective when he was seen by multiple witnesses standing over the body of the cop who he shot right between the eyes.  Of course, since getting caught with blood on his hands, Mumia has talked about the injustices of the racist legal system.

Puh-leze.

“Choosing Mumia as their commencement speaker, to me, shows how this newest group of Goddard graduates expresses their freedom to engage and think radically and critically in a world that often sets up barriers to do just that," Goddard College President Bob Kenny said.

Yeah, let's have that open dialogue, schmuck.  And let's have the cop's widow relive the pain one more time, which she is doing.  As long as these students get an open and balanced education.

Open, yes.   Balanced, hell no.   With colleges like Goddard around, I grieve for the future of any young American looking for advanced education in 2014.  Meanwhile, if Goddard ever turns into Kent State, I'm definitely rooting for the National Guard this time.

What could this convicted killer possibly say that will make a positive influence in any of these students?   Apparently, he was not in person.  He delivered his remarks electronically.  And said nothing about the reason why he's been in the hoosegow all these years.

Let's hope that he had his hand firmly grasping the microphone.   And he was seated in a metal chair.  That was placed in a big puddle.  Because that's exactly what should have happened to Mumia way back when.

America dies just a little bit more.

Dinner last night:  Leftover stir fry chicken and veggies.
