Indian Country Today has an update article on the Ward Churchill perpetual motion machine (ht Leah)
Our favorite line:
At trial, Professor Churchill specifically testified about the problems he had finding another position after the university had labeled him as ‘a fraud, a plagiarist, a fabricator, whose scholarly work is not worth a bucket of (warm) spit,’” his opening brief states, citing the trial transcript.Your lips to God's ear, Perfesser.
Confidential to Morlock Party members: 219 Eloi voluntarily added themselves to the menu yesterday; enjoy, but please be mindful of your cholesterol. (more info on the Morlock Party here)

Our favorite line: "[these] are designated as the only shotguns authorized for [the US Department of Education (ED)] based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts."
Update: "Combat training"?
Irony Alert: Kansas City (Mo.) school district shuts down half its schools, and the local reaction is to blame banks, grocery stores, the real estate industry, the Supreme Court, and white people.
Our favorite line: "The urban core has suffered white flight post-the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown v. the Board of Education, blockbusting by the real estate industry, redlining by banks and other financial institutions, retail and grocery store abandonment."—Kansas City Councilwoman Sharon Sanders Brooks, commenting from the audience to the applause of her fellow products of the KC (Mo.) school system.

One of our jackbooted thugs directs our attention to an important new book that will surely and at long last rip the lid off Amerikkka's disgusting and arrogant exceptionalism; from NYU Press, Meeting The Enemy was authored by The Perfesser's favorite book reviewer and beard #4, Natsu Nancy Elaine Taylor "Truthforce" Saito.
Update: $55.00?!!11!
Update II: Book jacket blurborama! (it should come as no surprise that one of Truthforce's blurblers, Sharon H. Venne, was co-editor with Ward Churchill on Islands In Captivity and signatory to the retaliatory complaint filed against CU for having the temerity to investigate Churchill's various fabulisms, frauds, and thefts. It really is a small world. Who wouldn't want to oppress it?)
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc
PB announces formation of the Morlock Party
This comment
"We're all just Morlocks to their Eloi. Problem is, we (OK, I) never get to eat any of them."by WTP over at the inestimably wonderful blog of David Thompson got us to thinking. The Eloi WTP is talking about, of course, are the artists who believe they are entitled to the support of the government, meaning the support of the taxpayers. To that group we'd add pretty much anyone at the public trough not in uniform (and those assisting others to the public trough).
Back to WTP's "we never get to eat them" lament. We of the newly-founded Morlock Party respond: Why the hell not? The Morlocks and the Eloi had a very workable symbiotic relationship; the Eloi were fed, nurtured, housed and clothed by the Morlocks, and in return, the Eloi (useless for anything else) fed the Morlocks. Quid pro quo.
Of course, that was a fictional future. Back here in the nonfictional present, unfortunately, there's been mucho quid, but nary a hint of tasty quo.
The formation of the Morlock Party rectifies this historical inequality. With our pithy, no-nonsense motto "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc" we announce to the world that we're at long last finished perusing the menu, and are now ready to order.
A productive use for entire university departments and hundreds of governmental agencies—not to mention the states of Massachusetts and California—has finally been discovered, thanks to the Morlock Party.
Robert A. Heinlein said it best: "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Morlocks know this, and are now prepared to savor the sweet sweet poetic justice of demonstrating Heinlein's maxim to those who believe otherwise.
Yes, given enough time, Atlas may shrug. Meanwhile, Morlocks will dine.
