Search. Andy Ostroy: Romney: University Professors Don't Have Real Jobs. In a Fox News interview this week Mitt Romney made it quite clear that he's the anti-education candidate. In criticizing what he calls President Obama's attack on capitalism, the presumptive Republican nominee summarily dismissed and disrespected the entire teaching profession: "He doesn't understand how the free economy works," he said of Obama.
"He's never had a job in the free economy. " Really? Teaching Constitutional law was not a real job? Being a grade school or high school teacher or college professor doesn't make you part of the "free economy" workforce in Romney's convoluted elitist thinking? It's morally reprehensible and irresponsible enough that, as Massachusetts governor, he cut the education budget so severely that state universities were forced to raise tuition by 63 percent.

The U.S. Coast Guard is warning people to stay away from a pod of whales that has settled unusually close to the shore off Santa Cruz or face fines for whale harassment of at least $2,500. The agency plans to monitor the waters on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011.

Dr. Leonard Coldwell: Basically, when we talk about outside causes of cancer, for example like skin cancer, we are taught that skin cancer is caused by the sun; which, first of all, I am tanned right now, right? Interviewer: Yes. Dr. Leonard Coldwell: I am tanned all my life. I never used any kind of sunscreen ever. If you saw me in January on Caribbean cruises, or you will see me next January on next cruises, you will not see me with any form of sunscreen. So, after 40, 50, 60 years of sun without any prevention, I am one of the healthiest people you can ever run into. So, if sun causes skin cancer, how come that African Americans, black Americans, have more skin cancer than white people? On the other hand, vitamin D3, or vitamin D is produced by sunlight.
