The nation is looking down the barrel of potentially ten years of history books in Texas that require students to learn about Phyllis Schlafly and the National Rifle Association. Standards that put the inaugural address of the Conferderate States of America, Jefferson Davis, alongside the inaugural address of a commie, socialist you’ve probably never heard of called Abraham Lincoln. The standards also demote Thomas Jefferson from the list of influential thinkers from the Enlightenment. Because, who knew(!?)…really hard right conservatives hate Thomas Jefferson because he wrote about the separation of church and state. And that travesty overshadows that other little thing he wrote: what was it? Declaration of what and who now? The whosie, whatsie of independence? Some communist tract that should be wiped from history, no doubt!

Let’s forget about all those things. Advertising is about how to spin your service or product for the good. They put together a pretty ad that makes them seem like a progressive and cool place to do business.”
