Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo has an administration without par, they are said to be a legend in their own mind. However, what can be said without dispute is the Cal Poly administration is the most ‘coulrophobic’ in the nation.
So, watch ‘the Cal Poly stars come out’ Monday Night — 6 pm Pacific Time — Channel 197 on Satellite!
See what’s REALLY behind the GREEN and yellow door!

When I heard rumors that documentary film maker Michael Malone was coming to Cal Poly, I wondered if he was going to stay at the fabulous Hussein-Baker Grand Martyr Hotel? In any event you can only imagine the disappointment when the faithful realized he wouldn’t be coming as he was filming in the ‘island paradise of Cuba.’
However, Cal Poly is in the news again!! The stars truly come out in the documentary “Indoctrinate U.” The Documentary Channel will be showing “Indoctrinate U” next week as part of its “Controversy in America” series.

It kind of tells you what type of control the nasties have on your county when an American, motherhood and apple pie movie can not be viewed in San Luis Obispo County. Nope, you have to travel to adjoining Santa Barbara County to view an American Carol , destined to be a cult classic.
So, Cal Poly State University San Luis Obispo has a lot of support to carry on their particular style of ‘education.’ For those who may not know, Cal Poly was the subject of a documentary “Indoctrinate U.” that roasted Cal Poly for their less than ‘tolerant’ ways. Freedom of speech was but one issue covered.
Now, this brings me to update the saga of a ‘seasoned’ Cal Poly professor who sent a widely distributed email to his class that implied if you were presented correct information and were smart enough then you might just get with it and vote for his guy for President. Now he is not alone at Cal Poly, but we pick on him because… besides being arrogant and physically unattractive … we have the complete set of emails. Well, there’s that!
After contacting the professor ( in the area of biology), receiving a sharp reply and rebuff , his dean ( of science) was contacted and reminded of the ethical sections of the American Association of University Professors ( a lefty organization) that advises professors that they should stick to their subject area. Obviously, for example, a Professor holding forth on some political interest of theirs, say, the Bush Doctrine in an English or Biology class is not falling within the guidelines.
Eventually the students were contacted by the professor with an apology. Personally, it wasn’t much of an apology, but then he probably couldn’t understand why McGovern lost because all his friends voted for him to.
So, to make things better, places like Cal Poly must be constantly watched.

I am surprised they actually did the right thing in this issue… much for them to learn.
There’s no way anyone can show their displeasure with someone better than sending them a clear message. Nothing can be clearer than what Football legend John Madden allegedly does every year to Cal Poly President Warren Baker. There’s a story that came out that says Coach Madden sends Cal Poly President Warren Baker a one way airplane ticket that essentially tells Warren to ‘go back where he came from!’
Although there are those who will talk with funerary tones about the great Baker legacy when and if WB ever retires, there is another story that will surface that the story above only touched on.
In the meantime, thank you John Madden.

PS. Now, I know that Yahoo will post Warren’s Clowny image… but let’s see if Google will… stay tuned
GOTCHA! MADE YOU LAUGH!
Well, it’s always fun to catch up with old friends separated by time or distance. This week Laura caught up with an old friend since kindergarten, Pamela “Pam” Lynd Fink. Fortunately, special precautions were taken to keep San Luis Obispo and the surrounds safe for the locals.
JJ , LAURA, PAM and ROD
We went to dinner at one of our favorite places in the area… the Ol Port inn on the Pier in Avila beach, California. If you get a chance try it out and you won’t be disappointed, especially with a little Pinot Noir from local Talley Vineyards! JJ is looking at colleges to attend and the fam came up to check out Cal Poly (Rod’s alma mater).
Laura smiled and that made it all worth while.
