So we're going to watch "Fear Itself."

Ooo! What are your teaching points?

erika, that is a pain. It's really tough to be conciliatory and calm and have that rejected. I recently tried to have a srs discussion online with a homophobic douchebag whose only supporter in thread was a self-avowed KKK person. It was like arguing with a House Elf - always dropping one challenged argument to pop up with another.

Personally, if I had made that slip G did I would have apologized to all honest prostitutes for using a denigrating word for their profession and even more sincerely for comparing them something as low as K street lobbyists.

That was my reaction, too. Furthermore, sex workers don't make that kind of money, sure as hell don't get red carpet treatment, and generally don't have much of a choice regarding their careers.

Ooo! What are your teaching points?

For my video class: camera angles and shot compositions, use of special effects particularly forced perspective.

For my drama class: identifying objectives and using a variety of tactics to achieve those objectives.

For my speech class: hmmm...I haven't quite figured that one out yet, but I can come up with something. Vocal expression and energy?

I wanna see cute baby pics, but I can't at work. Stoopid filters.

Tell that to the assclown Superduperfreakanomics authors. Fucktards.

Yeah, although I shouldn't be surprised that a rude and judgmental person would be rude and judgmental again. But I thought someone arguing for maturity and civility might, you know, have some. Crazy thought, I know. Tep, I know! Freakanomics is now off my wish list, because the one advantage of arguing with college-aged libertarians about that is not having to pay money for the "privilege". Gud, yes, and I know that the Big Answer is that I love it when random people think I'm great, but I usually don't think that I am...I had a spasm of self-respect yesterday and have second-guessed it relentlessly ever since. There's a reason why it wasn't *Ellen* Grayson.

Oh, good one.

Maybe something about Joss slang usage and how it conveys messages and uses humor? The different communication styles of the characters - Giles v. Buffy v. Anya v. Cordelia?

Uggh. Everything I hear about that book confirms that I don't want to read it.

What? That's just crazy talk.

I was very disappointed in Jon Stewart's interview with whichever one of them it was this week - total softball questions. Those guys deserve every piece of hate mail they get.

It is nice, on the other hand, to be able to identify at least 2 men who think all women are whores, so I know who to eviscerate avoid.
