Jonathan Lopez has filed a lawsuit against a professor and Los Angeles City College over his treatment after giving a speech on the Christian view of marriage in speech class. Lopez alleges that Professor John Matteson had made it clear that he supported same-sex marriage. He claims that Matteson allegedly attacked him verbally, refused let him complete his speech, effectively called him a “fascist bastard” and refused to give him a grade (telling him to “ask God” for his grade).
Matteson is listed as the co-director of Forensics at the Speech Department.
The complaint in Lopez v. Candaele, (CD CA, filed 2/11/2009) was filed with the support of the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom, which litigates such claims. For a copy of the complaint, click here.
Lopez also alleges that Matteson told him that he would make sure that Lopez was expelled and told his entire class after the November election, “If you voted yes on Proposition 8, you are a fascist bastard.”

Go see a doctor, sport.
Once again, your tragic presentaion of narcissistic personality disorder, is prominently on display for all to sicken at. Of course I’m a hack consultant, I must remember you are “feared” respected and most of all a “dragon”……… Buddhaman, you need to pull yourself away from watching Judge Judy in the afternoon, when responsible adults are working, and contributing to the great infrastructure of our society, and go out and find some meaningful employment. Even with your limited skill set and vocational aptitude, you should be adroit enough to work in a service job, you know, parking cars or maybe flipping burgers at the local drive-thru.
That’s why using the DSM on yourself is such a bad idea. It’s the same reason that a lawyer is representing a fool when he has himself as a client – proximity causes blindness. Here’s a hint – psychiatrists don’t self-treat either unless they’re a hack (or a “consultant”). The only person continually exhibiting sexual frustration/confusion is you – in almost every post. Or you could just go kiss a boy and get it over with, Wayne. You’re not fooling anyone here despite how well you may be fooling yourself. Quite frankly your rabid homophobia is as tiring as your related self-loathing is amusing. Ever wonder why you’re so angry all the time? It’s really going to hinder you getting that first date too.
Good luck with that. And by “that” I mean “first date” with anyone sessile and three dimensional.
Bron, you need to stop cruising those gay bars with Buddhaman in West Hollywood, you’re starting to sound just like him…….
I havent heard smoked used in that way in a very long time.
So JonAbbey smoked the Buddha’s root … chakra?
Inconceivable!
That word . . . smoked . . . I do not think it means what you think it means.
But if you meant it in the crudest vernacular form, yeah, I got smoked all right.
Sandman/Jon Abbey:
I believe that Buddha/MikeS and the rest were having just as much fun doing what they call troll baiting.
JonAbbey:
you need to get a little more creative, the shrink stuff is rather limp and tiring. Please try someother tack. It is rather hard to do diagnosis over the internet, because people can pretty much write what they want due to the anonymity (as an engineer, I cant believe I spelled that right the first time).
For example based on your posts, I would call you immature and effeminate. I would also based on those observations predict that your wife is probably very pretty but an airhead, someone you can manipulate and control. The type of person that would not know that 8 cm is not 12″ (if you get my drift).
Also I thought you were a paleobotanist and a geologist how can you also be a healthcare consultant? Another example of delusions of grandeur or just a bad liar? the next post will have you with a PhD in bioblogy and a JD.
But I am probably wrong on all accounts because you were just having fun. Dosent work very well does it?
It looks like jon Abby smoked Budda pretty good. Chicken came home to roost huh Budda.
mespo,
Here’s to another successful culinary adventure!
‘Solomente la majeure siempre’
– ‘The best always’…
Patty C:
Pizzas were the big hit. I even tried a Chipotle one with corn salsa as a topping. Not as good as yours but approaching perfection. This recipe’s from California Pizza Kitchen:
• Anaheim chiles (2)
• Chipotle sauce – bottled (6 tablespoons)
• Grilled Garlic Chicken – page 22 of CPK Family Cookbook (2 breasts, cut into ½-inch cubes)
• Traditional or Honey-Wheat Pizza Dough – page 14, 17 of CPK Family Cookbook (1 pound)
• Mozzarella cheese (4 ounces, grated (or 1 1/ 3 cups))
• Anejo enchilada cheese, shredded (2½ ounces (or 1 cup))
• Lime Cream Sauce – recipe follows (6 tablespoons)
• Cilantro leaves (2 teaspoons finely chopped)
• Chipotle Salsa – recipe follows (1 cup)
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 16-inch pizza stone, wooden pizza peel, squeeze bottle or syrup dispenser
PREPARATION
1. Place a seasoned (or oiled) pizza stone in the middle of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the chiles over an open flame until the skin is black and blistered. (This can also be done in a very hot, ungreased cast iron pan.) Put the chiles in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cook for 10 minutes, then rub the charred skin off with paper towels (do not use water). Remove the stems and seeds, and cut the chiles lengthwise into ¼-inch strips.
3. Toss the chipotle sauce with the chicken pieces in a bowl until coated.
4. Roll and shape the dough into one 13-inch or two 9-inch circles and place on a floured pizza peel. If you are more comfortable working with one piece of dough at a time, you can shape and dress the second piece wile the first is in the oven. If making 2 pizzas, split all the topping ingredients in half.
5. Set aside 1/3 cup of the mozzarella and sprinkle the rest to within ½ inch of the edge of the dough.
6. Distribute the chicken over the mozzarella, cover that with the chile strips, then top with enchilado cheese. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the entire pizza.
7. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese at the center is melted and bubbly. Slice.
8. Drizzle the Lime Cream Sauce over the pizza and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with a mound of Chipotle Salsa in the middle of the pizza.

mespo and Buddha,
Delighted you enjoyed the Figs Table Prosciutto and Fig pizzas with gorgonzola. JT thought fig jam sounded ‘crazy’ for pizza, so I’m happy to have your testimonials. It IS different and one of my all-time gourmet favs.
mespo, pizza nights at my house are a often a casual communal hang around the kitchen/cook/eat/and drink wine affair – depending on how many people and how many pizzas. It’s fun! Aprons for everyone!
————-
Pizza Dough: Makes Four, 8″ – 10″ pizzas (each serves 1-2 persons)
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3 1/2 cups *all-purpose flour, plus add’l for rolling (*unbleached)
2 teaspoons (1/4 ounce) fresh yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 2/3 cups lukewarm water
Place the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour yeast, salt and sugar in a mixer fitted with a dough hood. While the mixer is running, gradually add the oil and water, Knead on low speed un til the dough is firm and smooth, about 10 minutes. Divide the dough into four balls, about 7 1/2 ounces each. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place two balls on a sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let them rise in a warm spot until they have doubed in bulk about 2 hours.
To roll out the dough: Dab your fingers in flour and place one ball on a generously floured work surface and press down in the center with the tips of your fingers, spreading the dough with your hand. when the dough has doubled in width, use a floured rolling pin and roll out until it is very thin, link a flat bread. The outer border should be a little thicker than the inner circle. Pick the dough up with a spatula or the back of a knife, allowing to fold almost like an umbrella and transfer it to a paddle. Do not worry that the pizza is not round, you are looking for an 8-10 inch shape, a cross between and oval and a rectangle. If your get a hole, simply pinch the edges back together. Repeat with the remaining balls and proceed with any of the following recipes…
Basic Tomato Sauce:
1 Tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup red wine
1 tablespoon dried Greek oregano
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup chicken broth or water
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 – 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
Place a large sauce pan over medium heat and, when if it hot, add the oil. Add the garlic and cook until lightly toasted, about two to 3 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and cook until reduced by about a third, about 5 minutes.
Add the oregano, tomatoes, and chicken broth and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to Low and cook until the mixture starts to come together as a sauce, about 45 minutes. Add the basil, salt, and pepper.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to three days.
*********************************
Caramelized Onions:
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 vegetable or canola oil
3 pounds Spanish onions, thinly sliced
Place a large skillet over medium heat and when it is hot, add the butter and oil. Add the onions and stir. It is important to let hthe onions sweat before the sugar starts to caramelize. Cook until perfectly brown (not light but not too dark) about 40 minutes.
Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to two (2) days.
Sadly Buddha I will eventually wary of picking on you. It is to easy and not very sporting…………..
Jonnyboy,
Fess up. You’re a junior in Wichita High School and the farthest west you’ve been is Garden City. The farthest east of course has been Kansas City. While you have your learner’s permit your Dad doesn’t think you’re ready for the driving test. You’re also sure you’d have a girlfriend if only you lost 30 pounds and the damned zits would go away. You did get a B+ in Earth Science though. Having no friends there was little else to do than study and do homework. You use the family PC a lot though for masturbation both physical and mental.
Get professional help Buddha, hopefully with a Gestalt Therapist. They seem to have the most success with narcissist’s like yourself who have delusional ideation maifested by feelings of superiority. I will amend my earlier blogs, I also think you suffer from Paranoid Personality Disorder. If it is not a full blown disorder, than you have very strong and maladaptive traits………….
That assumes two things. That 1) you’re a challenge or a threat to me in any way and 2) that you have any idea what you’re talking about. Your own actions have proven otherwise, Wayne.
Seek professional help.
And quit self-diagnosing with that DSM. It’s not helping you to use a tool you don’t understand.
I’m off to build a new dog run. You enjoy your downward spiral.
I love picking on you Buddhaman, it does more for me than a week in Hilo…………….
Jonnyboy
“I have a copy of this diagnostic tool, because I work as a consultant in the health care field.”
Liar, liar, pants on fire. I needed to respond by bringing the discourse down to your level. I hope that wasn’t to advanced. If it was then how about: Mommmy, Mommy, the baby’s fibbing.
That’s right Buddhaman we’re all nuts. It stands to reason, anybody who has the flagrant audacity to challege your maladaptive narcissism, must be nuts………….
