Professor Of Leisure Studies Asks: 'Why Do Republicans Want Us To Work All The Time?'

The humanity!

The first thing you need to know about this essay by Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt is that it was published by Politico, which is sort of like making the roster of the prison football team. Even the worst media outlet on Earth needs material from somewhere, so . . . congratulations?

But it gets better. A lot better. And funnier, too. Who, my friends, do you suppose wrote the essay titled "Why Do Republicans Want Us To Work So Much?" What do you suppose this man's job might be, if he even has one? It turns out he does have one, and it's a Democrat's dream: He is (drum roll) a professor of leisure studies at the University of Iowa.

Leisure studies. Those of you laying around right now listening to the show . . . you're getting an A!

It seems the "professor" is upset at Republican criticism of ObamaCare that focuses on its disincentive for people to work, as we told you about last week. Hey, why is removing another 2.5 million people from the workforce a bad thing? People can use the leisure!
