(Should anyone need to ask: yes, it’s a parody.)

During a concert at the [Obama] White House, Paul McCartney said:
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.”

Of all the lame Dubya jokes, this is one of the lamest, considering that Laura Bush is a librarian.

POTUS:
It’s easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book.
The truth behind this statement is that in Obama’s view, there is a part of the population that would rather have a Glock than a book. Obama has depended on their vote to get elected- he took the high school dropout vote both times. Obama, coming from an elite school background, definitely would prefer having a book. While he may phrase it in terms of Glock-preferrers being victims, he undoubtedly has contempt for Glock-preferers. Would he let a Glock-preferer date one of his daughters? No way. It is a paradox that all politicians have do deal with- soliciting the vote of people whom you hold in contempt.

The leftists, I think, feel that they have finally met the threshold of control of the institutions of society at the same time they have achieved the threshold of ignorance in the populace and this is the time (and its running out — 190 days) to strike to finally and “fundamentally change the country.”

I’m porting this one over to the Booker T. Washington post.

Specifically, President Obama could have said that it’s easier for teenagers to get a handgun than a book. (That would certainly have been untrue, but he could have said it.) However, he chose to be more specific, and so he said “Glock”. It amuses me that he chose that example, when Massachusetts, for one, forbids ANY citizens from buying new Glocks. (I suspect California and others do the same.)

I’m trying to stay on topic here. Let’s exchange diatribes about Massachusetts politics some other time.

Well…. They don’t know how to read, so there’s no point in getting a library card.

Undergraduates press for compulsory course on canonical poets to be ‘decolonised’
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jun/01/yale-english-students-call-for-end-of-focus-on-white-male-writers

students have launched a petition calling on Yale to “decolonise” the course. They want the university to abolish the major English poets requirement, and to refocus the course’s pre-1800/1900 requirements “to deliberately include literatures relating to gender, race, sexuality, ableism, and ethnicity”.

The petition says that “a year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of colour, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity”, and that the course “creates a culture that is especially hostile to students of colour”.

Obama is talking about books not by white colonial men and women from europe… but is smart enough not to voice it, so he leaves out the key part that would make what he says make sense to white folk, but he assumes black folk get it

ie. It’s easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book written by a black person to read…
