I don't know if most of you have sat through political science 101, but if you ever are given the luxury of skipping over this 15 week study of tripe you can pull from Wikipedia (perhaps that's an insult to tripe), I highly suggest taking macroeconomics, or some crap. On second thought, take some history. The majority of halfwits in my class can't locate Iraq on a map. Wait, no, take economics. The hippies in my class can't tell capitalism from cannabis.
I understand that politics is a shit-storm of irrational ideologies and staunch opinion, but just because you have a P.h.D. and occasionally have Esq. attached to the ass of your already long, contrived name title (my professor), doesn't equate to you having the ability to preach to me what anarchism is atop your perch. Plus, you're like, a lawyer, man. Basically, in generic, loaded, political terms, she was a 1%'r telling a dude that ate Olive Garden breadsticks out of dumpsters and hung out at squats on the train tracks what anarchism was. Or something.
Just when the embarrassment and pain had ceased, some idiot who just read a Chomsky book for the first time raised his hand and blurted some dribble about riots, the G20, and hegemony. Fuck off. You didn't even pronounce hegemony correctly.
This instructor then proceeded to spout innuendos about the follies of capitalism, and how socialism may help our financial crises. I'm not surprised however; these are the same people who believe in "Hope" and "Change." I do agree with these people, though. They're just cringe worthy.
Some other schmuck then blamed the electoral college for "EIGHT YEARS OF BUSH, blarrrrghhhh." Then I made him cranky by reminding him that there were actually two Dubya terms, and he gained the popular vote his second election, which makes your point of the electoral college doubly moot (at least in that election). I hate Bush too, but seriously, get your basic facts in order. This class is like a 15 week re-run of that Kanye West Video (see above). What an asshat.
One fact I actually did gain from that class was that you shouldn't throw out blatant facts. Especially ones about Hugo Chavez's coup attempt in 1992 and the attempt made on him in 2002. After I explained the Venezuelan President's decade-apart predicaments, I almost threw up in my mouth when I realized my teacher was completely naive to everything I had just said. Did I really just school the school teacher? Something tells me that a political science instructor should have at least heard of this. She claimed she would "have to look that up." There is no God.
Where was this going? I don't know. Fuck college? Probably. Can't believe I got tricked into paying for this.
Yes I can.
