Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

If women have an untrammeled right to be believed when they accuse men of assault, even decades after the alleged offense and with no corroborating evidence, then it is entirely reasonable for men to require that a witness be present at all times for situations like this or that they be recorded from start to finish. It can safely be assumed that any NYT reporter is ideologically hostile to any Republican, especially any male Republican, and that the reporting is designed to underpin an upcoming attack. It would probably be wiser simply to ban all kinds of inside view reporting such as this, regardless of the sex of the reporter, in order to avoid claims of unfairness.

@tp, if this guy was concerned with the things you posted, all he need do is require all interactions with the press to be recorded. He could do it himself, he doesn’t need any male witnesses.
What Mr. Foster is doing is pandering to a Bible Belt constiency by invoking the Billy Graham marketing device. Pretty sure it’ll be effective…
