A few years back, the administration at LSU asked the tenured faculty for public support for its damn-fool policy of firing non-tenured instructors to improve our ranking in US News & World Report, or some such. I said to a colleague that it stank of the loyalty oath, and he said "but you signed a loyalty oath when you got here". So, I guess I did sign one once. I hope it leaves as little impression on these kids' minds as it did on mine.

That shit is terrible. Is Israel an ICC member? I'm guessing not.

Bet nobody takes his clothes out of the dryer without folding them, though.

I can never keep track of which state is crazier: Arizona or Texas, though AZ wins this round.

Faithfully discharge? Does this tie into the intentionally giving someone an STD thing?

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Kris Kristofferson should campaign to get that on currency in place of 'In God We Trust'.

Definitely take the oath, <i>then</i> learn about the Constitution. It works for religion; why shouldn't it work for "patriotism" too?

I was in Arizona on bidness while back, Sierra Vista as I recall, and on my way back to the No-Tel Mo-Tel stopped at a 7/11 to get some water. There were a couple of people ahead of me at the counter, including one young dude with a small automatic in a holster on his belt. Was he waiting patiently in line to rob the place, or just a solid citizen exercising his right to bear arms?

There's no way to tell!

No one should go to Arizona. It's too crazy there.
