Satire, Sarcasm and Swearing: My Journey

by teachbad

To close out the year, give myself a lit­tle break, and cel­e­brate three mag­i­cal years of Mr. Teachbad’s Blog of Teacher Dis­gruntle­ment, I’ve decided to post a lit­tle retrospective.

What fol­lows are the Top Ten most-read posts from each year of Teachbad’s glo­ri­ous his­tory. I tried pick­ing my per­sonal favorite Top Ten, but it soon became clear that would be even more self-indulgent and time-consuming than this was. Let me know if you think I have pro­gressed or declined.

Thanks for read­ing and I hope you all have a great break, enjoy­ing friends and family.

Mean­while, if you’re jonesing for some­thing fresh and dif­fer­ent, you could try this. Last week I posted this on my Face­book page:

I would like to argue that right-wing gov­ern­ment para­noia jack-off fan­tasies should no longer be the most influ­en­tial force in the national debate over gun con­trol policy.

What fol­lowed was a some­what coher­ent and some­times thought­ful dis­cus­sion of gun con­trol, which was quickly swal­lowed up in a sea of anti-gun peo­ple call­ing pro-gun peo­ple stu­pid and pro-gun peo­ple called anti-gun peo­ple pussies. It ended, and I really wouldn’t have pre­dicted this in the begin­ning, with me mak­ing a spir­ited defense of my pimp and wish­ing Merry Christ­mas to a hos­tile red­neck. (If you decide to read this thread, please don’t respond to some­one named King William. We don’t need him to reen­gage. Thank you.)
