John Yoo teaches at Berkeley?
We found it bizarre that John Yoo was teaching law at Berkeley. We were completely unaware of this until today, luckily these professional Australian pranksters were not as ignorant and offer this clip to remind us all of John Yoo.
John Yoo is the fellow who is infamous for drafting up the “Torture Memos” that helped re-define what “enhanced interrogations” meant for the Bush Administration during the Golden Age of Idiocracy.
President Obama said in April that he’s open to congressional hearings and a Justice Department investigation, still Yoo is allowed to teach a new crop of lawyers at Berkeley. Bizarre.
Here is a brief news clip of Obama in April talking about the memos.

Mr. Hoard,
What is this thing that you posted. It seems to consist of four sentences unrelated to each other expect for the presence of the name “Yoo” in each of them. Why do you refer to yourself in the plural, or are there more than one of you? You reference some Australian pranksters but you do not say what they did, I am guessing to John Yoo and I am guessing while he was teaching at the University of CALIFORNIA, Berkeley. What do their pranks have to do with the possible hearing? It is all just a confused muddle.

John Yoo is currently on leave from UC Berkeley and teaching at the Chapman University School of Law in Orange County, California, which is probably where this clip was filmed.
Of all places. Bizarre is the word.
