Well put. As I read the comments of Asst. Prof. DeGenova, what comes to mind is "give someone enough rope, and...." (grin)

Care for some more rope, prof? Now, tell us what you _really_ think of us!

But not to worry, even after Columbia fires him (is he _tenured_? this is surely an important issue), _some_ other college, somewhere, with like-minded administration, will hire him and provide him with safe refuge -- from REALITY.

However, before he is ridden out of town on a rail, Mr. DeGenova should be escorted down to the big hole in the ground where the World Trade Center once stood, and be forced to give his speech in front of the survivors of that attack. It would prove interesting.

Cheers!

Would that be the President that says Nuculer. I'm guessing you've bought off on that too. Don't get me wrong, I support the President, but that doesn't mean that I've given up on critical thinking. Later.

Doughty, the nuke-u-lar thing drove me crazy, too, until
it became plain from exposure to Texans that it's an local pronunciation thang, the equivalent of a Spokane hausfrau who says "Warshington", and the old Virginian's here who live in what they call a "hoose" on the "Raahvah."

We're Americans, alright. It might not be as precise a term as is available, but *is* a general term for denizens of the USA.

That linguistic flag was planted on the moon long ago.

"Would that be the President that says Nuculer"

LOL. Not the one I was thinking of, actually. I think he called us "mmmerkins" ;) - I was originally referring to Ford's "...our long national nightmare is over..." speach. I thought I remembered Nixon using the "My fellow Americans" line, but couldn't find a quote. Kennedy used it in his "...ask not what your country can do for you..." speach, too.

DOH! Speach=SPEECH.

BTW. The more De Genova is allowed to speek (j/k), the more his radical opinions rub off on the image of the anti-war/anti-Bush crowd. Not necessarily a bad thing IMO. He seems to hold himself in high enough regard to not STFU under pressure, and the FReepers appear to be doing a great job of applying that in quantity.

His academic pimp resume points to his "Academic jive"

Much of his professional work has focused on the effects of racialized differences on Mexican migrant laborers in the city of Chicago. He has also studied gangster rap in black America and published several prize-winning photo essays.

MY response to the POS:

Another case of left wing elitist exploitation of the upwardly mobile economically disadvantaged classes. Using their culture and their experience to get a job teaching 3 hours a week. Why doesn't DiGenova actually go and work and live in the barrio for a few years the POS? Better yet, he should be sent to the kurds in Northern Iraq for a crash course in re educating the limp wristed, effete, leftist intellectual snob that he is.

Chuckle. Thanks for the comments. Mmmercans is another good one. I think we all overlook those since we like Bush. That Nuculer one bothers me a lot because I have always felt that it reflected poorly on the user of that word. Carter did it for gosh sake. Does anyone want to sound like that clown? Har.

I agree with you that it is great when the left's craziest launch in public. You couldn't ask for worse press than this guy is going to get. And it does reflect poorly across the spectrum when folks realize they are all peas in the same pod.

This is my second contact to Columbia (I wrote alumni assoc), my first to Bollinger.

President Bollinger:

Never have I been so offended by the delusional, hateful remarks of someone who hides under the umbrella of tenure while spewing his distorted views and anti-American venom. De Genova is using the name of one of the most respected universities in the world as his personal platform, and unless you usher him offstage by firing him, your univeristy is in serious danger of losing not only respect, but precious alumni dollars.

Freedom of speech is one thing, institutionally-sponsored hatred is another. The writing is on the wall, Mr. Bollinger. Read it.

Sincerely,

I remember "Nuke'-ee-ar", or perhaps that was as good a cure as his handlers could effect. :)
