And it was her tone Jackie, even more than her ridiculous words. Damn it, my parents paid so much for my college fees, if I’d been treated like that they’d have mangled her. Again, we’ll wait to see, but it would be very interesting to know if she treats all students like this….
Chips I have feeling she does not treat all students this way. I think this young man demands that they DO their jobs and give him good council. They would rather frustrate him to leave then to do their jobs.
I sincerely doubt that she does. And she probably felt very self righteous and brave doing this as if she had confronted an ‘enemy.’ There is something fundamentally twisted in that school. It needs a lot exposure and a good dose of attitude adjustment.
FUCK! I am so sick of this bullshit against AA men. They just make up shit as they go along. How in the hell is waiting to talk to someone, calmly, is harassing them. I am sure they have NO problem taking this young man’s tuition money but he can’t fucking talk with the councilor HE wants to talk too?
I really don’t understand how a staff member could be so ignorant and rude to a student. That would never be tolerated at the Universities where I’ve worked. Shame! It’s called “student services” for a reason!
That JC Bradbury should get an earful as well. A student complains and you just basically tell them to go to another college? No college should treat students like this. They are actually like customers. Students pay to go there and should expect to be treated better. Unbelievable.
I agree with you, GOB. The whole place needs to be investigated for its unacceptable attitude toward students. They are there for the students, not the other way around.
So Cuba has a drug that might cure lung cancer and because of President Obama normalizing relations with Cuba, the drug Cimavax might soon be available here in America. So President Obama might be able to cure cancer after all.
HA HA HA, you’re right PBO brought the cure for lung cancer to America via normalization with Cuba and ALL the republicans will hate him for it and with the ACA it will probably be FREE or low cost. Just think of all the GOP/Teabaggers who would rather DIE than be cured by Obama-Cuba-care.
Isn’t it incredible Meta? I have no clue who this woman is, or if she treats everyone like this, but I’d sure love to know if she’s selective in which students she laughably accuses of ‘harassment’.
In 1982 the city passed an ordinance [Sec 34-21][21]
(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.
(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

When I lived and worked in New Jersey, I was heading to a conference once, very early morning – somewhere around 7 a.m. – took a wrong turn and landed in Camden, where I’d never been before. Needed to ask for directions, but no one was out and about – all I saw were pigeons who seemed to be living in the middle of the street, since there didn’t appear to be anybody else driving around, except little ol’ me. Finally, a gentleman emerged from a bar. So I called him over to my car, asked for directions, and he sent me on my way.
And that was today’s “A gentleman emerged from a bar” in New Jersey story from me.
Just think of all those harassing people filling up airports and train stations, not to mention emergency rooms. Harassment, harassment everywhere you look.
I was at the bus stop this morning. I must have waited for about 8 minutes. Finally the bus came. The driver opened the door and said I was harassing him by standing there. He then called mass transit police so I decided to walk to work instead.
Yes, my mail handler took similar action, when he realized I’d been waiting a couple of hours for him to deliver a package. Think he hollered over his shoulder, “This is harassment – your waiting hours like that for me. I have to check with my supervisor, maybe even the Postmaster General. Sorry, I will not be leaving you that package today.” So I went back in the house and I’m still waiting.
if more so called Dem leaders had been mindful of the this…we may not have lost so much in 2014….also…the Dems who dis the President do so at their own peril
Having been raised in the Trenton-Philly corridor, I loved it when Mayor Nutter explained the tone of some of his remarks as something like, “Here in Philadelphia, we talk real” (not a direct quote!) and added something like “unlike in New York City.” I’m sure he meant the latter part as a poke, because, of course, NYC folks talk real, too!
Schumer has made the same statement about being against trade, period. And the Senate believes he should be the next leader. I mean, it’s just really ridiculous what the Dems have become.
Breaking : At Least 13 Cars Off Tracks In Hazelwood Train Derailment
At least 13 cars are believed to have derailed. Fortunately, all of the derailed cars were empty.
“The train was going approximately 10mph. It wasn’t carrying anything, all the cars were empty, no Hazmat materials, no materials at all. That was confirmed by police and Hazmat. The railroad folks have equipment on the way to upright the cars and they should be here later this afternoon or early this evening. They’ll be working overnight to upright the cars,” Pittsburgh Director of Operations Guy Costa said.
Please feel free to add my name with yours! I stopped all their mailings a while back, to save my sanity (but not before I marked their last snail mail “scare message”: Return to Sender!).
Here is the description of the bill that just passed 97-1:
Vote Summary
Question: On Passage of the Bill (H.R. 1295, As Amended )
Vote Number: 178 Vote Date: May 14, 2015, 12:00 PM
Required For Majority: 3/5 Vote Result: Bill Passed
Measure Title: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to improve the process for making determinations with respect to whether organizations are exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(4) of such Code.
I’m sure Joe was for the war back when it was initiated. He, like other Republicans, are just now coming around to admit that it was a horrible and unnecessary war. Jeb Bush spoke the truth when he said he would have invaded Iraq just like his brother did. Now he’s desperately trying to back track. Hopefully, those foolish words sink his presidential campaign.
Measure Number: H.R. 644 (America Gives More Act of 2015 )
Measure Title: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend and expand the charitable deduction for contributions of food inventory.
For those who haven’t read Tomasky’s post, it’s about the fact that our trains are SLOWER now than in 1964 because of our crumbling infrastructure. Maddening.
I really don’t think Jeb bush is this stupid, I think he’s having an internal battle with what he knows to be the truth and what he has to say to keep the cash coming from those that supported his brother.

Hi
GB!
Cannot get over this video, it’s too too much.
It’s sickening and unacceptable for ANY educational institution. I hope that woman gets fired and the university gets fined.
And it was her tone Jackie, even more than her ridiculous words. Damn it, my parents paid so much for my college fees, if I’d been treated like that they’d have mangled her. Again, we’ll wait to see, but it would be very interesting to know if she treats all students like this….
Chips I have feeling she does not treat all students this way. I think this young man demands that they DO their jobs and give him good council. They would rather frustrate him to leave then to do their jobs.
I strongly suspect that too JoJo, I hope others come forward, and I hope she never works again.
I sincerely doubt that she does. And she probably felt very self righteous and brave doing this as if she had confronted an ‘enemy.’ There is something fundamentally twisted in that school. It needs a lot exposure and a good dose of attitude adjustment.
FUCK! I am so sick of this bullshit against AA men. They just make up shit as they go along. How in the hell is waiting to talk to someone, calmly, is harassing them. I am sure they have NO problem taking this young man’s tuition money but he can’t fucking talk with the councilor HE wants to talk too?
2nd!
Good morning!
I was just coming here to post that same tweet. How crazy is that interaction?
I really don’t understand how a staff member could be so ignorant and rude to a student. That would never be tolerated at the Universities where I’ve worked. Shame! It’s called “student services” for a reason!
Exactly!
Menu from last night…
Thanks, Jer. The White House chefs are endlessly inventive. This looks like a perfect menu.
What a great headline:

BRILLIANT! 😂
You don’t say!
Way to go, Pope Francis 🙂

Very well said, Don.
HA HA HA, you’re right PBO brought the cure for lung cancer to America via normalization with Cuba and ALL the republicans will hate him for it and with the ACA it will probably be FREE or low cost. Just think of all the GOP/Teabaggers who would rather DIE than be cured by Obama-Cuba-care.
Why that Pinko Commie Socialist Cancer-Curing So-and-So! I ought box those ears! 😀
In which case the GOP and DINOs will turn it into a liability.
PBO cured cancer. So? What about diabetes????
Love the point you made, Don!
Senate votes today via compromise plan on trade measures after being screwed by McConnell on bundled trade deal.
Good grief! What was that video? I used to have a whole lobby full of students waiting for a session. That is completely ridiculous!!
Isn’t it incredible Meta? I have no clue who this woman is, or if she treats everyone like this, but I’d sure love to know if she’s selective in which students she laughably accuses of ‘harassment’.
As long as there’s no disruption, that student has every right to be there during office hours, no matter what any staff member says.
Exactly right

We have to get every Democrat to think similar to this and vote as if their life depends on it (because it does):
Here’s the text of the original tweet:
I agree with about 80% of Hillary’s policies and 80% of Obama’s. There’s no perfect candidate. But I agree with 0.00000000 of the GOP.
I don’t agree with anything HRC on anything because she stands for nothing at all.

Yes, I’m still here to talk about it! Ha.
This is the bill on Africa trade, in progress:
92-0 right now
wow.
oops.. that vote was for the Africa Trade bill. Final vote 97-1
That are voting on the above mentioned bill now.
Just think of all those harassing people filling up airports and train stations, not to mention emergency rooms. Harassment, harassment everywhere you look.

“But I’ll just say it a third time: Every day that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are in the White House is a day that I am thankful for.”
Love that Foxfire, what beautiful words – thank you!
Gorgeous sentiment from a wonderful man.
Truth to the 9th, Degree.
Brilliant.
Thanks for posting this Chips.
Awww! 🙂
That’s lovely!! I’m sure there are millions of Americans who feel this way so I’m glad he spoke out on our behalf.

Africa Trade Bill passes 97-1.
Africa trade deal passes, 97-1. Now they’ve moved on to voting on the Customs bill, in progress.
Will there be another vote on TPA later today?
I’m not sure. Debate will open today and then we’ll see……..
Never mind meta. I just scrolled up and saw your post. Vote is at 2:00PM Thank you.
Ah, yes, I forget they went ahead and scheduled it for today.
It just passed the 60 vote threshold.
Yep!
so everything the kenyan wanted is now passing bit by bit?
Well, he doesn’t exactly want the piece on currency, but, yes – he is basically getting everything he wants if #TPA passes today.
Mayor Nutter just scolded the media and told them to take their unrelated policy questions elsewhere. This is not the time or place for that.
Having been raised in the Trenton-Philly corridor, I loved it when Mayor Nutter explained the tone of some of his remarks as something like, “Here in Philadelphia, we talk real” (not a direct quote!) and added something like “unlike in New York City.” I’m sure he meant the latter part as a poke, because, of course, NYC folks talk real, too!

JER? Or someone, anyone? I NEED, as in must have, this pic. Can’t ‘splain out in the public eye, but is important to MP! Thank you, thank you.
Here you are, Mighty Pamela!
Oh, JER, you are SO good to me.. I don’t subscribe to Instagram, and don’t want to, so this is a big help. If I get pesky, just say, UhUh!!
Hmmm mighty suspect. MP can’t you download it off Pete’s Instagram?
No
Bernie Sanders on the Senate floor ranting against this “disastrous trade agreement.”
Bernie announced last week that he against all trade agreements, or any kind, ever.
But he wants to be POTUS. I don’t want to think of Bernie as a first-class jerk but he is making it hard for me.
Oh, and he must think the entire world is like VT because he’s awful on gun control.
Schumer has made the same statement about being against trade, period. And the Senate believes he should be the next leader. I mean, it’s just really ridiculous what the Dems have become.
Don’t worry about Schumer being against trade, he’ll do whatever the Clintons tell him to do if “they” reach the Whitehouse.
I want to cry, meta, I really do.
One question, is he spitting and is his lips moist?
ARGH, yes. He is just on my last nerve.

The DNC just will not take NO! for an answer.
Todays mail brought another Dear Vicki…GOP scare message.
I took a black marker and wrote the following:
The DNC Failed Pres. Obama in 2014.
Unless and until DWS, Steve Israel and Tim Kaine are gone
So Am I
This will be in the mailbox later on today.
