Departmental Review

1. The Constitution as Toilet paper Dept.:

After signing the "Brown is Bad, White is Good Immigration Law" and costing her state millions of dollars in tourism revenue, Jan Brewer, Facist in Chief of the State of Arizona is at it again. Brewer signed a law that is designed to prevent people from taking Ethnic studies programs in Arizona schools. It would seem that there are three programs: Mexican-American Studies, Africa-American Studies, and Native American Studies which have offended the sensibilities of Brewer and State Superintendant of Public Instruction, Tom Horne. According to the law written by Horne (who happens to be running for state attorney general), these classes are bad because they:

a) Promote the overthrow of the United States government
b) Promote resentment toward a race or class of people (read white folks)
c) Are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group
d) Advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of students as individuals

If you ask me, I think Brewer and her cabal should be required to take these classes in order to get a better understanding of the people who live in their state. Maybe they'd be happy if the schools added a White Anglo-Saxon American Studies class...oh...wait...that's every high school U.S. history class in America. Funny that.

2. From Doormat to Divine Dept.:

HOW 'BOUT THEM NATIONALS!!!! The Washington Nationals are 19-15 and in sole posession of second place in the NL East!!! Timely hitting and some great defense have catapulted last year's 103-loss joke into a serious team. Think about these little tidbits for a moment: last year, the Nats didn't win their 19th game until mid-June. Last year at this time, the Nats were 2-10 in one run games. This year they are 9-2. While their starting pitching this year has been a tad inconsistent (except for Livian Hernandez, he of the 80 mph fastball and the 1.04 ERA), the rest of the team has been playing lights out baseball.

GO NATS!!!
