“It’s Not Even A Real Country Anyway”

Just when you though things couldn’t get any bleaker, more terrible news: it seems sociology adjunct Chuck Hunt will not be the last Marxist standing. In the wake of a second Bush victory, he’s off to Canada. (Follow the link to see a photo that should win the ODE some kind of award.) Meanwhile, Eugene media seems to be going out of its way to provide me with Spew today:

The current buzz about an American exodus to Canada is not unprecedented, Hunt said. While under apartheid rule, South Africa experienced a steady exodus of people upset with the overtly racist practices of the South African government.

“That’s the kind of context you can see this in,” Hunt said.

Golly. If that’s the way he feels, I think he should hurry off to Canada without delay. After all, I’d have wanted to get out of apartheid South Africa too!
