To me nothing, try to Google the article. I don't want to tread on thin ice.

I started reading the article--and had to quit. My hip waders are packed away for the winter.

All I can say is "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssscccccccchhhhhh."

I am glad I am soon coming to the place of "former" professor. Glad I was never in the "social" sciences. :gaah:

Don't you mean, "Social Science Fiction"? :roflblack:

So many words and sentences could be written. Unbelievable? No, definitely believable.

its like they are throwing darts to see what other history they can mess with and who will bring up the most idiotic thing next and this poor shmoe got the short end.

Right or wrong history is called history for a reason. Learn from your accomplishments, failures, right and wrong doings but move on already.

That works for me. :bowdown::bowdown: :roflblack::roflblack:

Thanks for the link. This is a funny article. Seriously folks - it's tongue in cheek humor.

You're welcome Pete. Thanks for helping me out with the explanation of the article. I should have posted the link to the real news article along with the satirical one for clarification. I post a lot at work so I'm always in a hurry, don't explain myself well, and don't have the time to really think things through. :thumbup:

Like I said earlier, good to have you back Pete.

The article was irritating. Got me thinking of my old home town, Seattle and it's sister cities of Portland and San Francisco. Glad to be FROM there.
