Who knew?
All three of my classes had projects due this week. And it’s not the writing of the papers that’s so much the problem, it’s the damn fussy citations.
Last one goes in tonight, a paper on globalization, very open-ended. I decided to give voice to my displeasure at having to read Thomas Friedman’s NYT Mag article, “It’s A Flat World, After All,” by pointing out how absurd it is that he talks up how wonderful outsourcing is and only once mentions money as a motivator — which he quickly dismisses. It’s all about the ideas, y’all. My God! The world is flat!
One of the last readings in the class is an op-ed by John Yoo(!) and John Bolton(!!) on returning treaty power to the Senate. Like I trust anything those two have to say about the Constitution or international relations.
Yeah, school takes time. In my case, years.
Has he ever actually met anyone who has been outsourced? Much less INTERVIEWED them for this article? (((waves at Tom!))) I mean, in New York City? He could probably just go outside and use a bullhorn and attract a sizable crowd of us.
Must be nice to have so much money that everything is purely theoretical!
Enjoying school? Learning stuff?
<voice=”announcer”> I have both a bachelor’s and master’s in essay-heavy disciplines, and I write history stuff as a professional sideline. That’s why I use The Citation Machine. Tidies away those fussy citations in no time! No muss! No scrubbing! Just pure, clean citations in less than half the time! </voice>
