Looks like Professor Ward Churchill didn't "unexpectedly pull out" of the debate scheduled with Victor Davis Hanson. As Hanson's site now explains, "[The] Debate has been canceled at this time and we are working on an upcoming debate. Our apologies to Ward Churchill for misstating the reasons earlier." (via Drunka, who has more)

As Drunka notes, the great VDH-WC debate has been canceled; according to Hanson (right side, calendar of events), The Perfesser "unexpectedly pulled out." Reminds us of the 70s joke about Nixon's dad and early withdrawal.

From our Ethnic Studies: The Special Olympics Of Academia department (ht Leah): A former student describes The Perfesser's grueling pedagogic standards
Excerpt:

For a student who is otherwise indoctrinated by an educational system that demands rote memorization of (and submission to) an official version of reality, encountering Ward Churchill as a teacher can be quite a liberating experience. His midterm "exams" consisted of ten true/false items, with bonus points for spelling your name correctly. If you simply showed up for class, you got an "A" on this test. The final was the killer for most indoctrinated students, however, as Ward always wanted us to write a paper that dealt with how the material impacted our lives, individually. For me, this was a chance to place myself within a brand new reality pradigm, which challenged every assumption about the world I'd compiled to date. For most others, however, this idea of applying the material to their life was more than they could handle -- and it was astonishing to find out just how many students failed his courses for not completing the final.

From our Well, At Least He's Taking Advantage Of All That Hot Air department: Means proposes wind project for new republic
Excerpt:
At a meeting in Rapid City on Saturday, [Republic of Lakota Chief Facilitator Russell] Means said he has been talking with representatives of a California company about plans to put windmills on land owned by both Native Americans and non-Natives willing to become citizens of the new Republic of Lakotah. He declined to name the company.

Means, a longtime activist, said he and other organizers have met with tribal members of the Standing Rock, Rosebud and Yankton Sioux tribes. Windmills could be sprouting on the Standing Rock, Rosebud and possibly Pine Ridge reservations this spring, he said.

Means said the new country's formation is based on law, especially the U.S. Constitution, and he said the wind-energy project is based on economic reality. "Those who control the energy control the economics," Means said in a brief interview after Saturday's meeting, attended by about 25 people. Means said he was disappointed that besides news media, no white people attended.
Update: Reporter Bill Harlan on the Rapid City Journal's political blog Mount Blogmore notes that the new "Interim Attorney General" of Means' Air-Nation is self-described "paralegal entrepreneur" Jerry Collette of Asheville, North Carolina. Collette, by the way, provides his clientele with "Solid Business Advice From A Great Legal Mind."

Update II: DrunkaScoop has some good commentary on this latest chapter of Russell In Fantasyland; incidentally, he's uncovered a heretofore well-(but apparently not well-enough)hidden snapshot of the PB Hisself.

From our Your Principles Or Your Mistress department (via DrunkaWhatever): Westword's reporting that Professor Ward Churchill says he was asked to write pseudonymous supportive letters to the editor by the Daily Camera
Excerpt:
[...] Churchill wrote that a Camera representative told him that, "despite running editorial material about me every single day, their policy was that responses appearing under my name could not appear more than once or twice per month. They did allow, however, that they were aware that this placed me at a rather glaring disadvantage, and that this was undoubtedly unfair. That's when it was suggested that I write responses under other people's names, and that they'd run them with a wink and a nod, thereby letting me have 'my' say while still maintaining 'appearances' (of what was left a tad mysterious). My response to that proposition was to ask why, if they felt material arguing my case [could] appear under names other than mine, they weren't publishing the material submitted by people like Stannard. I got no answer."
Our favorite quote (from the response of Clint Talbott, the Camera's editorial page editor): "Beyond that, however, I guess you'd have to take Churchill at his word."
