New Weekly Series: The Simple Homespun Wisdom of Professor Johnson

Tonight I had another in a series of exceptional political science classes with a Professor Johnson. After last week's class in which he uttered several memorable lines including, "It's easy to romanticize the Indians now that they aren't scalping people," I decided that his many insights were worth sharing with the general public. I am, after all, paying tens of thousands of dollars for this education. The least I can do is share.

Notes from September 4, 2008

7:35 pm
Professor Johnson highly recommends the book Hardball by Chris Matthews. It is full of “funny anecdotes.”

7:56 pm
Professor Johnson thinks we should abandon New Orleans because “Mother Nature is taking it back."
Nobody wants to blame Mother Nature, because “you can’t vote her out of office.”

8:03 pm
Professor Johnson wants to know “what kind of freak doesn’t have health insurance?”

8:12 pm
“New York has 17 million people. If a few get shot, hey, what’s the big deal?”

8:50 pm
“In rural areas you shoot somebody cause they slept with your wife.”

8:52 pm
“It’s 2 am, you’re in the house, you weren’t invited. What are you doing here? Oh, you must be here to get shot.”

9:02 pm
As a small boy, Professor Johnson had a dog named Tiny.

More next week!

PS- In the interest of not failing this particular class, I'm giving the man an alias. Professors love Google I'm told.
