A few years ago, when James Carville was teaching at Louisiana State University, he heard that one of his students had gotten into the school of her dreams to work on an advanced degree. He wanted to toast her.

"I get a $25 champagne and four plastic flutes,” he recalled, "and I said to the students: ‘All right. You are not going to get out of James Carville’s class unless you know how to properly open a bottle of champagne.’

"I said: ‘Here’s what you’re going to do. You don’t pop it like you see in the movies or you’re going to poke somebody’s eye out. You take the foil off. Now you’re going to take a dishcloth, and you’re going to execute the classic counterclockwise movement. The bottle is going to go one way; the cork is going to go the other way. You just ease it out, and the sound that you are looking for is the sigh of a satisfied woman.’

"The next Tuesday, the dean comes into my office and he said: ‘I’m closing the door. We need to have a talk.’”

A female student had complained about the sighing line.

He wanted to mutter to the dean, "Her boyfriend has never heard that sound,” but he simply said, "OK, I’ll endeavor to do better.”

But this is the Ragin’ Cajun we’re talking about, so "do better” really meant "go further”: "I went back in the classroom, and I told the Gilbert Gottfried joke from ‘The Aristocrats,’” Carville continued. "I said: ‘Girl, you wanted me to get in trouble? This is what you do when all is lost and you’re up against the wall.’ Of course, it’s the grossest joke ever.”

Nobody puts Bayou Baby in a corner. The experience soured his joy in teaching at his alma mater.

"This was L.S. freaking U., not Oberlin,” he said. "It was terrible. I wouldn’t take the coeds to dinner after class. I would take the male students. I was scared to death in my job. I was like: ‘I don’t need L.S.U.’s money. I don’t need to drive up there and listen to that crap.’ I just said: ‘That’s it. I’m done. This is not for me.’”

Can't be. The fish sticks guy is a genius (just ask him, hes not shy about it), he'd never get caught.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Willie Nelson ‘s Fourth of July Picnic is two-stepping out of Texas to the Philadelphia area.

The country luminary’s (usually) annual mega-concert, hosted in his native Texas for most of its 50-year-history, will be held for the first time in the Northeast this July, taking place at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.

The open-air amphitheater is just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/hispanic-latino-middle-eastern-north-african-new-race-categories-rcna145376

For the first time, Hispanic or Latino is listed as one race/ethnicity category and people of Middle Eastern or North African descent will have their own checkbox under new race and ethnicity standards adopted by the Biden administration.

Up to now, Hispanics had a two-part question for their identity: They were asked whether they were Hispanic or Latino and then asked to pick a race of white, Black, American Indian or some other race.

 

The change now uses one question for race and ethnicity and allows people to check as many as apply to their identity. Each category has subcategories with examples that may apply and room for those that may not be listed.

The addition of a Middle Eastern or North African, or MENA, identifier would allow some 7 million to 8 million people to no longer have to identify as "white” or "other” on the census and other forms in which such data is collected.

The changes are only the second update by the federal government to categories for data on the American population. The update — the last was in 1997 — of standards used by the federal government for the census and other agencies is meant to better capture the expanding multicultural identity of the country.

To be fair I’m tired of checking off white and then another box to say I’m not Latin white or whatever it says.

That always seemed odd to me.

Woman fired after boss used keystroke technology to track her working at home afraid she'll never get a job again

Suzie Cheikho was sacked after her boss monitored how much work she does

https://www.unilad.com/technology/news/suzie-cheikho-fired-keystroke-technology-job-167047-20240409

They monitored her work over 49 days, and she logged in late on 47, logged out early on 29, failed to do any work on 4 of those days, and averaged 54 key strokes per hour when she was working.

The sentence above is over three times that many key strokes.

Lady, you are a crappy worker, you don't deserve to be hired.

It sounds like if she was hooked on the EMB she would get a raise.

Does holding down the tab key count as one key stroke or do you need something to click it repeatedly for it to count?
