As a college professor, I hear a lot of excuses for poor academic performance.

The stench of the malevolent extreme right wing "thinkers" manoeuvring is becoming stronger as the days goes by, as the buffoon in the china shop merrily tweets his latest narcissistic neediness for all the world to see.
