Wisconsin professor, 163 trips, 542 days

And it was all business.

What kind of business, monkey business?

None of your business.


This is my problem, professor.  I'm going to pretend I am speaking directly.

You work for a State College. It is your job and your employer is the State and the State extends to the edges and everybody there is taxed for paying for your job, yet you behave as if you are paid by somebody else. And you are overly expensive. Not only are, let's say half,  those people not getting their money-worth,  you are actually damaging their interests and you know it. 

There is a word for that. Where individuals take up positions within State government, then engage in "politically correct" speech policies, and enforce them, and exclusionary hiring practices once lodged there, and then use that position to advance the interests of Party over the interests of State, loose sense of the relationship between employer, the people of the State, Republican, Democrat, Independent, uninvolved, or in their minds blend those interests so thoroughly they become indistinguishable. There is a word for that. Come on, you're a professor, help me out here, um, um…

Sociologist, indeed. You could study yourself. How society allows itself to be duped. You park bad.

Initials AAA?

Prof Joel Rogers? Sociology? I thought that "discipline" was moldering away. He also teaches Law?! Whoa. Anyway, this guy is a piece of work ... related issues from the same linked site.

Now...on to important stuff: I've always wanted one of those leather suitcases with leather straps around them ... fairly screams Pan American Airways and trips by Clipper sea planes to South America.

No IRS Agents were harmed in the making of this story.

Travel broadens the mind.

That's another reason not to leave home.

Some people cultivate minds so broad, they can't walk through doorways.

And hotels with lots of marble, men in suits wearing hats, well-turned out women with gloves, and, naturally, intrigue!

More's the pity.

(Less's the pithy.)

" Whoa. Anyway, this guy is a piece of work ... related issues from the same linked site."

HERE is an article about his use of obscenities describing Republicans - ironically - some of the same obscenities used against me on this blog by commenters Trooper York and Aridog.

So Meade, in his endless pursuit of God only knows what, was dragged to an art opening at the local gallery.

One of Ann's colleagues introduces himself to Lawnboy and asks "So, what do you do?"

McSeedy replies "Horticulture."

The prof says "So, you work in research, plant genomes and the like?"

Needy replies "No, I brought my horticulture."

Meade said...

Sorry, I left out Sexy Grunt. From that pdf I linked to:

"But it's hard to imagine that anyone delivering a right-wing screed about Democrats as evil motherf***ers would subsequently be regarded by the media, political, or academic world as a rational and respected voice of reason.

Nor is it likely that any conservative could drift as far to right as Rogers has to the left, without being labeled or ever called to account for their view. At the very minimum, they would have to explain why they present one face at home and a very different one elsewhere."

So where was the travel to?

I'm Full of Soup said...

Wow - the WI taxpayers and tuition payers are subsidizing the political efforts of this far left librul POS. Keeping track of all these librul groups is impossible - like trying to hold back the ocean with a tennis racket. Thankfully, soon, the govt will run out of money and these innumerate, profligate dopes will be out of a job or jobs.

Meade said...

Truth be told, Professor Rogers, through grants and tuition, most likely brings more $'s into the university than he takes out in salary and expenses.

I can find nothing, NOTHING, to criticize about that dynamic. Everyone wins!!!111!!1

Trooper York said...

Oh so they called this guy a grifter and a fraud and a thief.

That sounds about right.

What's the problem Meadey?

I'm Full of Soup said...

So that is OK Meade to be apparently spending wildly and regularly on travel related to his librul think tank? As long as his ledger shows a positive balance he can spend as much as he likes?

That's like the Medicaid expansion provisoon in Obamacare- some people think states should accept the expansion and take the fed dollars as if it is free money.

Most real me swear, including but limited to, swearing @ each other. I'm always a bit wary of a man who doesn't swear. Now, I know some good men who don't swear. But, they could all sit @ my dining room table and I'd have room for one or two more.

Methadras said...

Who's doing the duping? The dupes that tenured this professor, or the dupes that turn the other way to let him do what he wants. Oh wait, they are the same people. Professor wins.

I'm Full of Soup said...

Methadras- the ID photo you use is the best- it matches your energy Pal!

Aridog said...

Meade...you are just so cute when you manage to attach yourself to a story that had nothing what-so-ever to do with you.

Trooper York said...

You don't know that Aridog. That dude might have a blog and Meadey might be emailing him.

You can't blame a guy for trying to trade up now can you?

Aridog said...

Anal splooge alert!

5, 4, 3, 2 ....

Aridog said...

Trooper York ... oh, my now you done it. We've been sucked in to that patented "its all about me, meeee" vortex. Aggggghh.

The Dude said...

Meade knows all about spending other people's money, having never had any of his own, that's all he's ever done.

So why did that lonely spinster fall for you Needy? You are semi-literate, a failure at everything other than mowing grass, poor beyond redemption, arrogant but stupid - just what is it about you that she finds so fascinating?

Oh wait, I know - you are her very own David Gest. She really likes the gays, that's for sure - so much so that she gave one half her estate, at a minimum.

Now get back to bagging those clippings, Forrest.
