So we know the headline in Politico Magazine is, “Why Do Republicans Want Us to Work All the Time?” But what’s this about the author’s bio?

Professor of leisure studies?

@jamestaranto Who knew that was a 'studies'-can it involve studying or would that be verboten?

@jamestaranto just read it to my son and he said, "is that from the Onion?"

@jamestaranto so if you "earn" a degree in leisure studies do you walk at graduation or is that too much effort?

@jamestaranto I want to be a professor of leisure studies. I'll get a grant & tenure for studying how well I nap. Classes will get homework

@jamestaranto Is it too late to change my major?! Why did I choose engineering when I could have become an expert on hammock usage.
