Satan is a good fiddle player according to Charlie Daniels.

Satan is a good fiddle player according to Charlie Daniels.

He also thinks chickens hang out in bread pans and casually snack on dough.

I love our school.

Guys, let me raise a practical question at this point. What kind of Friday do you think Joe Montgomery is having? I mean, in the last 36 hours or so he has A) become a bit of a flash-in-the-pan for being a complete fool, B) abruptly lost a job he's held for nearly two decades, and C) had his embarrassing YouTubes outed in public forums goEMAW and GPC. Do you think he even went to work today? If he did, how awkward are things around that office? How many voicemails and emails did he have waiting on him this morning to ruin his day?

He was in a suit with a purple shirt and tie.

I'm pretty sure he's getting attention and that's all he really wanted. Why else bother with getting Obama off the ballot of a state he's going to lose in anyway unless you want people to notice you?

I'm sure he thinks he's a martyr, another victim of the liberal media.

I bet he feels great today. He has already said that he understands this is a difficult thing to do. He believes he is being persecuted and that strengthens his conviction.

On second thought, maybe I should've gone to law school.  Good Grief!

I may despise the man's political views, but he has the right to have them.

A lot of men have fought and died on foreign soil so that Mr. Montgomery can make an ass out of himself.  We shouldn't disrespect those men and the Constitution by denying him his right to free speech and political views.

It's K-State's right to decide they don't want Mr. Montgomery representing the university publicly.

I agree 100%, although I'm not sure if a public institution can fire someone for expressing their political views as easily as a private institution.

This.
No matter your views or affiliation, our country is $16 trillion in debt and counting. Republicans blame it on Democrats. Democrats blame it on Republicans. Nothing gets done. But we are worried about a man, who has been president for 4 years, being a natural born citizen - and if the man challenging this will be announcing our marching band routine. Meanwhile, congress is pushing off passing a budget for the 1,000+ straight day. We have larger problems than Mr. Montgomery. Let K-State figure it out. They can make a decision, unlike our elected officials in Washington.
Normally I don't react to political comments, but this one deserves a mention and a "+1". 

To me, the biggest problem with politics our country is not the elephants or the donkeys, it is the idea that one side is actually right and one side is actually wrong.  You can agree with one party's ideals or the other party's ideals, but you can't tell me that buying into each party's "vote our party without question" is a good idea.  The parties want us doing that because as long as we're focused on "it's Bush's/Obama's" fault, we're not asking why the hell our guy isn't getting anything done.

[BRULL]

Can someone highlight the good pages? 

[SkinnyBenny]

I bet he doesn't. There's no way this guy woke up this week and knew he was about to lose a job he's held since 1994 and would have to actually start buying football tickets. I really don't think he was out for this kind of attention and didn't intend to be such a martyr. Or maybe he did but it spiraled out of control because, even though he is the director of communications for one of our most well-known academic disciplines, he somehow didn't understand the power of the internet. By just looking at his YouTube page, I don't think this guy has a very good grasp on reality.

He can't be fired just for this unless he misused university resources.

yes he can stormnut, though that has nothing to do with what kk is saying. I don't know what part of that link you posted makes you think otherwise.

Listen John Adams, he hasn't been fired from crap. He has been refused the chance to perform a volunteer activity.

Yes. And apparently the decision was reached mutually. So kindly shut the eff up and let us get on with our celebrating. tia.

A lot of men fought and died so kcatty can take photos of his female employees undergarments. The first amendment should not be taken lightly.

[Kat Kid]

Good lord stormy, this "job" isn't what he's "hired" to do.  Whether he used university resources is irrelevant.  His 8 saturdays a year gig does not entitle him to due process rights or free speech rights.  He serves at the pleasure of the band director/AD.  If this was him being removed at his faculty position there would be due process rights and whether he used company time would be relevant.

[OK_Cat]

pretty good job from our basements, guys.
