We want video.
Lot of inbreeding with these college professors? WTH is going on with their brains?
She is so screwed up, she probably thinks the business end of the weapon, actually goes in her pie hole.
Where were these dirtbags when I was in school? Their learning curves would have been spectacular?

Might have been a useful study prior to 1950. Now, lib arts departments are a joke. Professor, my Obamahole. She will probably become a CNN or MSNBC jokester. Where she really belongs is Starbucks.
I will trust your opinion....
If you resign....how do you still work?? Or better, why wasn't she fired.
Maybe the Society of English Majors protected her?
Once again, for the comprehension impaired.
See my tag line.

...”plow my olive groves under...”
That was the final straw for her.
I wonder is useless Professor Karen Mullen is aware that the Olympic village was the scene of killing of the Israeli team? Yeah, and who did it professor? She knows.
Isn’t Wake Forest a Baptist university? Sheesh.
You caught that, too.

What a needless loss to scholarship and American culture!
Columbia is calling, honey. They’ll take you in.

Shut up and take responsibility for your own public statements. One less creative writing prof is a good thing.
