		<description><![CDATA[A fellow named Steve Horner has apparently been campaigning for years against the concept of &#8220;Ladies&#8217; Night&#8221; at bars and nightclubs on the grounds that it illegally discriminates on the basis of gender. This has elicited much scoffing (and some more pointed criticism) from a variety of folks. Most people seem to laugh at him [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seburke.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5146654&amp;post=336&amp;subd=seburke&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Humorous messages use social axioms and shared knowledge as tools to tell stories, violate expectations, and make people laugh. They convey attitudes, both through the assumptions they make about this shared knowledge and through [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seburke.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5146654&amp;post=313&amp;subd=seburke&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Most of my reasoning also applies to public education funding more generally, and especially to efforts to make public education more affordable. One such effort is the ongoing protest against the Puerto Rican government&#8217;s decision to cut funding to the University [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seburke.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5146654&amp;post=209&amp;subd=seburke&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And higher education is becoming increasingly expensive, making it inaccessible to many.
