Congrats. As a liberal and snobbishly educated feminazi, I wanted to be worst. I'm kind of jealous.

I think we can tell which band members skipped/failed their political science courses.

Sometimes the news makes me embarrassed for my home state.

I had a Hispanic student complain to me that a theatre prof told her to "put more salsa" in a performance.  Fun was had when the class gasped and the student asked "WTF do you mean by salsa?" How do you recover from that strain of foot in mouth?

What in the screaming depths of hell is going through these idiots' minds?

Oh. Right. Not a whole heck of a lot.

We had a former chancellor who, inviting a Hispanic faculty member to come forward to deliver comments at a campus-wide event (mandatory, packed with faculty), asked him to "salsa on down" to the stage.  The chancellor was African American, so you can imagine the dropped jaws in the room and the non-PC comments that followed for weeks afterward.  There's a lot to be said for shutting up when you can't think of the right thing to say.
