"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."

"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

No Longer a
Ward of the State

The University of Colorado is inching its way toward firing ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill. CU's president will recommend a permanent separation. Ward's lawyer is pissed:


Churchill's attorney, David Lane, told FOX News Channel Monday that it was time for his client's case to move out of the "kangaroo court," and into a real court with a real jury.


Ward needs to talk to his lawyer about his use of the ethnically pejorative term 'kangaroo court.'


Churchill said he and others plan to file academic charges with the university alleging that the faculty committee committed research misconduct. He said he also plans to publish as many as three books defending his research.
