America Is A Campus

…and Obama is our dean. Complete with speech codes, apparently. Glenn Reynolds disagrees somewhat:

Nonsense. No Dean would rock the boat so rashly, or offend the money folks so gratuitously, or put the college into so much debt. On the other hand, Hanson hits the nail on the head in other ways.

Yes. Like the president’s credentialism hypocrisy on Kagen versus Miers. Not to mention himself.

Related thoughts from Jay Nordlinger:

I hope I have read that incorrectly, or am interpreting it incorrectly. Did we, the United States, talking to a government that maintains a gulag, that denies people their basic rights, that in all probability harvests organs, apologize for the new immigration law in Arizona? Really, really?

…Do you ever get the idea that our government is a bunch of left-wing undergraduates come to power?

Every day.

  1. Yeah, I think Obama’s more like the precocious freshman elected student body president because he makes fun of the administration.

  3. Reminds me of John Barth’s mid-60’s satire Giles Goat-Boy, which took the “country as campus” metaphor to its logical extreme – in addition to being a hilarious if sometimes turgid read. Hmmm, this could be fun…

  6. If Obama is our dean, who’s our Doug Niedermeyer?

    Rahm Emanuel. Yelling at you and poking at the pledge pin on your chest while in the showers naked. (I don’t know how you manage to wear your pledge pin in that situation, you just do.)

    BTW, way to go Posner, handing the ChiComs a boatload of anti-American propaganda free of charge. (Idiot.)

  7. They still feel like credulous freshmen who’ve taken the Agitprop seriously, and all the seniors are snerking at them.

    Dude, man, we’re totally gonna change things when we take over!

  9. Vote for Me for Class President, and I promise longer lunch breaks and free sodas from the vending machines!

  10. Except we’ve decided soda is bad for you so… you still get the free vending machines but they only vend water… standing right next to a fountain.
