    Thanks TR.  This made me smile.

    Nice, and the Business School people seemed to enjoy it.  But “kick…butt?”  Was that before or after they put on their homosexual attire?

    • tenured_radical

      Definitely after.

    Singing an Xmas song in May would have been transgressive, as would singing an anti-U.S. song during consumerist Xmas at a business school apparently blithely unaware of the social inequities of classist, heteronormative, phallogocentric U.S.  

    I liked the Bob Fosse moves, but the group should have been reversing hierarchies, not affirming them.  A very disappointing video that privileges Christianity, a religion far worse than its monotheistic sisters Judaism and Islam.

      Well there’s a dissertation for you.  Get to work.

        Claire, I already wasted my time with one.  No (colonialist) Albert Schweitzer life for me. I’d rather be Bob Marley who kept it real, unlike the many privileged “pasty pilgrim”s all around me in academe.  (I, like Chad Ochocinco and other people of color who keep it real, may use such phrases with impunity.  Pasty pilgrims, unless they have one drop of Latina blood in them, may not.  Since you are apparently one, you may not.  Wait–you’re a hopelessly oppressed womyn in ameriKKKa, so perhaps you may have permission.)

    @chronicle-300058cc7d509b418f18870314eb92ac:disqus  When you are a not a number but a free man, I will consider what you have to say. Until then: Shut it and go eat some Christmas cookies.

      I can never be free in xristianist imperialistic ameriKKKa.  I upchuck xmas cookies here that I’m forcefed by the fascists.  That’s why tenured radicals and I (and presumably Claire) feel at home in especially English and anthropology departments in ameriKKKa.

      Power to the people…
