CNews 14October09

No offense to you personally, but that National Review article was nonsense.

My primary issue with it is that Czars are not a new thing, and the extremely anecdotal/made up nature of the whole article bothers me to no end. I also don't see what's supposed to be so horrifying about the hypothetical model the author discusses and fails to make a convincing case for.

Finally, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't CU's current president a former Oil CEO who's worked with his hands and started businesses and all that?

Why complain about it here? Go over to NRO and whine there.

Check out the link to the song and lyrics in the comments section of the Daily Camera news story. Hilarious.

Counterfeit Indian (mp3)

(to the tune of Paul Revere & the Raiders' 'Indian Reservation')

He bought dark glasses and a headband

And then he called himself a red man

Been preaching hatred all this time

The CU regents must be blind

Counterfeit Indian

From the Wannabe tribe

His feathers phony

He lives a lie

Let's let Ward Churchill have his say

Ignore him and he'll go away

...go away...go away...

I still love that Revere tune, even tho it's laughable in too many ways to count. It is, of course, on a number of "worst songs ever" lists. (Sorry, too lazy to find any.)



Will return, will return, will return . . .

"Thirty thousand feet,

Getting things to eat.

High in the air--

You're up there."





Oh yeah. The Leonard Cohens of their age.

One nitpick re VDH: How did Wart "fabricate" his degree? He didn't; they just ignored his (lack of) qualifications.

Off the subject. Check channel 9 or Fox news for a 6 yr old child supposedly trapped in a homemade flying saucer shaped balloon in eastern CO

Willibeaux(!): Was there any doubt they were gonna find that kid near his house? Well, that, or squashed flat and arid a couple of counties over.
