Well, Coyote, y'know, when you find that two groups of people have exactly the same enemies ... liberals, Obama, evolutionists, women, atheists, homosexuals, Syrian refugees ... well, one does feel a little like it's the end of Animal Farm, you know what I mean?

As a college professor he has to deal with the dismal primary school education of his students every day.

Not that new. Back in the 60s when I was designing some of the early cable systems one of the oft repeated objections was that cable sucked the TV signals out of the air and folks' antennas would no longer work. And that was from some California residents, not North Carolina.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
