He is less than a quarter indian, about 1/2 less.

This guy suffers from a serious case of the verbal diarrhea... How about this. "YES" or "NO"... he certainly says he's not at the beginning, but then goes on for another 800 minutes somehow explaining how he is.

THE MORE HE SPEAKS THE MORE HE SOUNDS LIKE A LUNATIC!

Folks

Listen to his words after he says.. "to cut to the chase"
What are his next two words? He drops his voice and speeds up the tempo..

that's the question

the best thing about these LLL's is if you give them enough rope they allways manage to hang themselves.

he is the quintesential jackass of the month

"To cut to the chase on that."

Seems very clear to me.

Weird Churchill

The American Indian Movement -- on their own website -- says this guy ISN'T a Native American and they -- in the strongest possible terms -- denounce his statements and the fact that he claims to represent Indians.

They say his claim of Indian Heritage comes from being given an "honourary" tribe membership card. These were given away by the hundreds and even Bill Clinton has one.

The AIM is a pretty radical organisation and they think Ward Churchill is too off the wall for them, that's saying something.

The thing that confuses me about the original Hawaii story story is this:

He went on to explain that the issue of whether he is Native American has been blown up by sloppy reporting and reporters quoting other reporters.

Did they just make that up? That's not addressed in their correction.

"sloppy reporting and reporters quoting other reporters." is in the speech.

I think what bugs me about him is the fact that he has us talking about him and that's all he really wanted anyway. I feel so used.

This was covered on O'reilley last evening.
It was clearly "I'm not"

Charles, expect a visit from my lawyer sometime early next week. I'm going to visit him tomorrow in an effort to see if I can sue you over the aneurism I have just developed as a result of listening to this. (/sarcasm, needless I hope)

To call this man "verbose" is an insult to people who speak a lot. He stopped making any sense shortly after he said he's not a native american, and then he continued on. He never actually made a point, and the purpose behind his rambling became less and less clear with every word uttered. Is there a word that means the same thing as verbose but carries a more "full of dung" connotation with it? Forgive me, it's been snowing here all day and I've had a few, mental dictionary not firing at full strength. Verbal Diarrhea is the best I'm coming up with.

SoCal

The context of his talk appears to be his defense of lacking Indian ancestry doesn't really matter. It's hard to find a clear train of thought; sort of stream of consciousness blather. Churchill is a verbal version of an accomplished carnaval shell game artist. That's his pattern in the other interviews.

Unbelievable...the greatest thing that ever happened to Wart Mosquehill's career

I posted this on the other thread, but it seems more appropriate (and more likely to be useful) here:

If you cannot get on the Hawaii site to download that audio clip, you can try this link, on one of the websites my company hosts (and don't worry, they'll never complain)

I spent all day today wishing someone would post the audio to that speech, and now that I can listen to it, I'm wishing I could see a clean video of it, to try to read his lips as he spoke that line.

BTW: having listened to Churchill far too much in the past three weeks, I have to say he sounds drunk or high throughout the clip.

He does say "I'm not."

Case closed, he needs to be fired for lying on his EOA for his job.

17 - jwpaine

you sure it's not just dementia? I watched him on cspan a week or two ago, and even though I thought he sounded crazy, I could at least recognize the point he was trying to make. I've got no clue what he's trying to get at after he starts talking about a reporter... now, it could just be the beer in me, or it could be that perhaps he was suffering from jet lag and was out of it when he was speaking... it just seems to me his train of thought is a bit erratic.

did anyone else Notice that Ward has compared himself to a "stinking manure pile" LOLOLoL ahahahahah

Ok.. jw.. if you want to go through this effort.. You need someone to study his pronunciation habits.
What sounds like an "I'm sound for one person's regional sound patterns might sound like a "On" sound to another set of regional ears. It really depend's on Churchill's regional sound and later influences through his life. That determination takes an expert as in Professor Henry Higgins.

I just listened to this "vowel movement" -- I need a shower

Maybe he should ask himself why his tribe seems to have disowned him. Usually that is a big clue that you are an asshole.

I think he says "on that."

He's just not particularly articulate or a good annunciator.

It doesn't make sense to say "I'm not" and then proceed to launch into a long defense of the why "he is."

One thing his is, though, is totally racist.

he is the quintesential jackass of the month,

i had to rephrase this,

he is the quintesential jackass of the mouth.

cant believe that i would ever call a fellow viet nam vet,
a piece of double wide traitorish trash. no offense to modular homes.

maybe he has agent orange of the brain. or post john kerry syndrom.

#20 Ariana

Yes, I did. Chief Pile 'o 'Manure!

Sounds like "on that" to me.

#20 addition

also if he's not saying "not" but saying "that" - then he's pronouncing "that" as the sound, "th- ahh- teh"

Am I being clear, here? :-)

Iran girl gets 100 lashes for sex

A teenage girl and two young men in Iran have been sentenced to lashes for having sex.

The court dismissed the girl's claim that we was raped. It said she had sex of her own free will, the official Iran Daily newspaper reported.

The girl was sentenced to 100 lashes because her accusations of rape and kidnap could have landed her partners a death penalty, the Tehran judge said.

Sex outside marriage is illegal in Iran and capital punishment can be imposed.

The young men in the case were sentenced to 30 and 40 lashes each.

Don't worry. The UN is on it.

Major Moonbat Alert

Massive Moonbat migration predicted to hit San Diego, CA and Fayetteville, NC on march 19th, PW in route to intercept SD group, reinforcements welcome:

Patriots' Picnic

FOR THE FIRST TIME in many months, we’ve learned of planned protests targeting military bases right here in San Diego. Our town will be the focus of a "regional mobilization" of the radical left.

I can't wait.

The World Says End the War! Bring the Troops Home Now! Rebuild our Communities! MARCH 19 - REGIONAL MOBILIZATION IN SAN DIEGO, CA Camp Pendleton Marine base, one of the largest bases in the country, has suffered a tragic number of causalities in the ongoing war and occupation of Iraq. CODEPINK will honor the devastating loss of these troops with a peaceful 30 mile, two day procession. Join us on March 18th and 19th as we walk from Oceanside, home of Camp Pendleton, to the massive rally at Balboa Park where we will unite with the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice to mark the second anniversary of the war in Iraq.
The other major mobilization, just in case you were curious, will be in Fayetteville, North Carolina -- the home of Fort Bragg, and the world-renowned 82nd Airborne Division.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

First of all, we encourage you to join us in our ongoing Operation THANK YOU. This is a wonderful, positive, non-confrontational event, where we stand outside the gates of various military bases holding signs that simply read "THANK YOU."

We started with Miramar MCAS, but we'll be moving on in the coming weeks to the other bases in the area. To help negate the negative vibes from the CodePINK rally, we'll be outside the main gate of Camp Pendleton in Oceanside on March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) during the morning and evening rush hours. Check back here for more details.

In the meantime, if you can't make one of our regularly scheduled events, start one of your own. It's very easy -- all you need is a piece of cardboard, some permanent markers, and a few hours of your time.

Please let us know when you'll be out there, so we can get the word out to others who might want to participate!

FOR MORE INFORMATION, or to join forces with us, please send an email to: sdpw.org@gmail.com

#55 Ariana,

I know, it's disgusting the way they treat women. I can't even begin to imagine how many of these stories don't make the news.
Those people are barbaric. When the courts are not lashing them, their fathers, brothers, or husbands are hacking them to bits in the name of "honor."

"They claimed the needed the additonal time to review 'confidential new information.'"

No doubt they have just been told by Maurice Hinchey that Ward Churchill actually works for Karl Rove, and that he was the Mexican woman who gave the fake memos to Burkett.

I'm considering starting a database of US colleges and universities--and more particularly, their faculties--and set up some sort of rating/reporting system so that a student (or his parents) could get real information about them.

Anybody know of a site already doing this on a national scale?

It's possible Churchill was deliberately mumbling so he would not be giving a clear answer. And since it turned out to be a softball question, as it was not repeated he got away with it.

i can't listen, this guy is a doofus... let him speak and let him be proud.

He says "To cut to the chase on that..."

It's no wonder they reported it wrong because he does NOT cut to the chase in any way, shape or form after that.

He then goes on to explain why it doesn't matter if he's Indian or not.

He gives a bunch of B.S. after this indicating that his lineage has been proven.

Going to go back to listen again because he named the guy who supposedly vetted him as a Native American.

This should be checked out.

An audio where this man is going through a lengthy, convoluted rambling about his Indian lineage amongst other matters... Did not convince me at all.

He likes to call us little Eichmens... Then I think Ill call folks like him Little Tokyo Rose's. Fair is fair ya jerk!

I'm from the tribe of Levi. That's kind of Indianish (yes, I made that one up).

I'm a Jewish Indian. I only eat kosher buffalo, and I never cut my meat with the milchik tomahawk.

Wait, I'm beginning to remember where I heared WC's rhetorical style before.

It began something like, "Jane, you ignorant slut..."

Cant quite place my finger on it though.

As this tape and the other recording (where Ward explains how to commit an act of terrorism to a group of students) travels throughout the blogosphere... I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for the CU administration. Everytime they think it can't possibly get any worse, something new emerges from Wardo's bottomless pit of a mouth.

He's not an Indian. No way in hell he is a Churchill. The
Cleaver's won't have him either.

Thanks for the links to the college rating sites, Ariana and Ed from Ohio...

The academicbias site seems more of a blog than an organized database

the ratemyprofessor site is incredibly slow... I'm looking up churchill at CU right now

still looking...

Krager

He sounds like a nightclub comedy act
Great professional model for all the student "required" to attend

Aaaargh! His stepfather's last name was Debo. He was known as Ward Debo for a time in Elmwood Illinois. There is a famous Oklahoma Indian historian named Angie Debo. She was not Indian. She taught for awhile at a college in Chicago.

This clown thinks he is her or somethin'.

This guy is a living testament to how ridiculous Affirmative Action could get. I could get a DNA test and prove that I am Indian-but I'm afraid to find out that I really am the genetically engineered offsping of Alan Keyes and Pol Pot (this is a joke) Actually I could find out that I'm related to Ward! Cr*ps!

While we're doing DNA testing to prove who gets ahead of whom why don't we find out who not to hire because they are prone to diseases that we don't want to insure...$#%@%#@%

Hey dimwhitties-whatcha think of that?

I do some writing on a mental disorder called clinical narcissism -- often described as "toxic self-love".

This guy exhibits obvious signs of this condition -- self-importance, impostures, contempt for everyone else, and lies, lies, lies.

He's a true sicko.

Ok, listening with my $450 headphones (Sennheiser HD 650's) and using GoldWave to slow the clip down to 40% speed, he is clearly saying "on that". I wish it were otherwise, really I do, but we are "reality oriented" here, so that's the reality..

BTW, I recently read about an interesting illusion called the McGurk effect which may be relevant for those who have the video of this guy in addition to the audio. The McGurk effect shows that our brains actually do some sort of lip-reading to distinguish between similar sounds (like b's and p's) at a subconscious level that we're not aware of. Watch the video and it sounds like he's saying "DA DA", but listen with your eyes closed and he's clearly saying "BA BA". The recording is "BA BA", but it is spliced with video of the guy saying "GA GA", and our brains are fooled, even if we know the trick! Check it out, it's pretty cool.

Churchill says at the end "if you let this one go down, you've lost it all" (about the moves made against him.)

I guess he plans on taking the ship down with him.

Yeah, I'd say he has clinical narcissism.

Will someone explain to me how all this obsesssion over race and ethnicity, especially in academia, is going to make this a better nation? Maybe I missed the memo. As far back as Teddy Roosevelt, and long before, Americans have been advocating an emphasis on American identity, not superficial physical characteristics.

Living in a fully-integrated neighborhood, as I do, I find it hard to believe I'm a racist. As recently as the 1950's, many white people would run away or refuse to sell their house to a minority. Those were the bad old days. Now it's down to rare isolated cases, even according to the Florida prosecuter in charge of filing indictments, but screaming racism seems to always increase.

cr*p

He's the Riddler...

If you're a faux Indian who is going to cut to the chase-

What the hell are you chasin? Sounds like he might be trying to perform a do it yourself circumcision com exorcism. A two for so to speak-damn it.

Finally!

Oh, this is rich! He has one rating, and one response to the rating.

First, the actual rating comment:

Ward is brilliant. He's an expert in his field. You will learn so much about Native American issues. If this class doesn't change the way you see the world, you weren't paying attention. Go to class, pay attention, and you'll get an A.

Now, the comment on the first rating comment:

This guy is the scum of the earth. I don't even go to the university of Colorado...but if this sun of a bitch went to my school, he would get kicked in this ugly face...you students of colorado need to stop being pussies and blow up this guys house or something.

Don't know why the second commenter doesn't go to CU.. He seems well-equipped in rhetoric and persuasion.

#113 JimmyTheClaw

Jw,
ratemyteacher.com and ratemyprofessor.com have some serious problems on the rating system

For one.. you can cast multiple votes by using different computers

two.. teachers and professors have been caught loading bad votes to change the ratings of their peers. In some cases, the individual managed to cast multiple votes for themselves. Yes this is a true story.

three.. students were interviewed who admitted that they sabotaged some professors/teachers after taking a difficult class and recieving an unsatisfactory grade

I've seen horrible instructors rated well because they were easy A's in contrast to difficult, but excellent teachers being rated as mediocre. I've seen the worst teacher on record be rated with a perfect score while an instructor with the highest academic record (producing students who acheved very high SATs and AP rankings) recieve some bad ratings from his students who flunked the course. He explained that their failure to complete course work resulted in bad grades. Rocket science huh?

The California group that set up the site didn't attempt to provide any controls over those factors. As a result, most people consider their site a joke

Absolutely right.

Something else I noticed in the audio of his speech was his lack of remorse for calling almost 3000 murder victims "little Eichmanns."

He had denied it at first when the story was just heating up some weeks ago (claiming that his words had been turned into the opposite of what he'd actually written.)

Now he isn't denying it anymore, but he has zero remorse for it.

Instead, he's nasty and sarcastic about it.

You're quite welcome.

I've been following the Chutch Saga with a lot of interest, since I spent seven years working in a university think-tank, and dealth with quite a few profs just as intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt as him. The blogosphere (aided, of course, by Google and the mighty SearchSystems Public Records Database) are finally making these sorts of tenured nihilists accountable to the public, for which I am grateful.

By the way, when the story first broke, I posted the link to the poorly-formatted Bob Black proto-fisking of Churchill to several sites, this one included. I remember reading it when it first appeared on the Internet, and being astonished that ol' Mental Ward had gotten away with so much blatant fakery even to that point. Black is a grade-A dirtbag in his own right, but he's highly skilled at taking down pretentious, phony left-fringe-types, of which Chutch is a textbook case.

According to CBS4 Denver, Ward Churchill is also an art forger:

Churchill Art Piece Called Into Question

by CBS4 News reporter Raj Chohan

Feb 24, 2005 8:03 pm US/Mountain

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) Boulder County resident Duke Prentup has been a fan of native American art for as long as he can remember. That love of art took him to the home of Ward Churchill in the early 1980's, where Prentup bought several pieces of Churchill's art, including a serigraph titled "Winter Attack."

"I have enjoyed them ever since immensely, they're obviously up inside my house," Prentup said.

Last month came a stunning revelation, though, as Prentup flipped through a 1972 book called The Mystic Warriors of the Plains written and illustrated by the late artist Thomas E. Mails. He found a sketch that was strikingly similar to the Churchill piece.

"I opened it up, and Wham, there it was," he said. "It's the exact same thing, only mirror imaged virtually to every detail."

Intellectual property attorney James Hubbell compared the two works side by side, concluding it was likely no accident.

"It's very obvious that the Churchill piece was taken directly from the Mails' piece, there's just too many similarities between the two for it to have been coincidence."

When CBS 4 contacted Churchill Wednesday afternoon near his office on the campus of CU Boulder, the embattled ethnic studies professor initially refused to answer questions.

In response to continued questioning, Churchill became aggressive, pushing a handful of paperwork in front the TV camera, and soon after, swiping his arm at the crew...

It's really quite astounding, the painting is exactly mirror imaged and reversed. The guy's a thief -- goes with being a narcissist -- the university now has grounds to get rid of him.

Well, I think those little facts you can dig up from Google searches are rather handy.

Like this one where

Gorman, Dean of Library Services, California State University, Fresno, likened our current situation to the red scare of the 1950's, with the government trying to control information. He called the removal of information already made public "Kafka-esque" and recalled what used to be said of the Soviet Union: "The future is certain, it is the past that keeps changing."

link

Or this one where Gorman and his fellow librarians are tied up in knots about our "destruction" of Iraqi cultural objects.

Or this one where the ALA passed a hysterical resolution on the Patriot Act as well as one regarding "palestinians"

Or this one where he and fellow moonbat librarians trooped down to protest something completely unrelated to them.

link

Or the fact that the Gorman who is all worked up about the privacy considerations of the Patriot Act does not seem that worked up about collections agencies rooting around in our library business.

But, my favorite fact is the one Google provided where the ALA prove themselves to be just plain rotten human beings. Unless some other Michael Gorman, Dean of Library Services, from Fresno State happened to be the 12th person to sign this moonbat missive.

"We came. We saw. We kicked it's ass !"

I admit that I was unable to listen to all of the audio. The spontaneous Gilligan's Island laugh track and potty humor finally got to me.

Tenure exists to promote the free exchange of ideas. In Churchill's case, the end result of tenure is arrogance, vividly on display in Hawaii. He knows how to game the university system and uses tenure not to promote the exchange of ideas, but to carry on a one-sided dialogue. There is no give and take. Ideas that can't be defended shouldn't be protected by tenure. The problem is not tenure itself, but Churchill's abuse of the privilege. While I'd like to see tenure reform, I think it better to reform the present state of universities in America than tenure itself. God bless those who are currently engaged in this work.

Oh, and by the way, yet another good editorial in this morning's Washington Times.

I listened to his drivel long enough to recognize the type. Go read some of the longer comments over at DU or DailyKos. Does anyone else see/hear the similarities. Like many of the written thoughts that appear in those screeds, Ward often sounds incoherent and not too bright. Which brings me to a question for the administrators at Colorado U; What were you guys thinking? If this is the kind of critical thinking you are trying to engender in your students I fear for their future. After all, there are a limited number of positions for village idiot and Ward has taken one of those already.

#171 murdukhai:

That link and story is explosive. His explanation is so lame. I looked at those two pieces and he simply traced it or photocopied it in reverse and then palmed it off as his own. Of course, now that he's been caught he's going on about having declared originally it was based on the Thomas Mails piece. What a con artist! Note too his usual M.O. is in place; he first gets belligerant and abusive when accused with the truth and after he's had time to think about the implications, comes back out and says, oh yeah, it is mine but... Moron!

"...When CBS 4 contacted Churchill Wednesday afternoon near his office on the campus of CU Boulder, the embattled ethnic studies professor initially refused to answer questions.

"In response to continued questioning, Churchill became aggressive, pushing a handful of paperwork in front the TV camera, and soon after, swiping his arm at the crew.

"A short time later, Churchill emerged from his office and agreed to comment on his artwork.

"He acknowledged his serigraph was based on the Mails drawing, and insists he disclosed that fact during the initial release of the prints.

""It's an original work by me, after Thomas Mails ... the fact that the purchaser was ignorant of the reality of what was perfectly publicly stated at the time the edition was printed is not my responsibility," Churchill said.

"Churchill's serigraph gives no credit to Mails on the work itself. The professor also refused to provide documentation to support his claims. Even if such documentation does exist, it may not matter as far as copyright law is concerned.

""In my opnion, unless there was consent for Churchill to do his piece, then there is copyright infringement here," Hubbell said.

"When contacted at his home in North Carolina, Ryan Mails, the son of the late Thomas Mails said the family still retained the copyrights to the drawings of the Mystic Warriors book, and that his father fiercely defended the copyrights. "I cannot imagine he would ever grant permission to anyone to copy one of his pieces," he said.

"Back in Prentup's Boulder County home, the Churchill serigraph still hangs. One quarter Native American himself, says he loves the image, he's just not sure whose artwork it really is..."

The problem is not tenure itself, but Churchill's abuse of the privilege.

Wrong. The problem is the fact that CU ever hired this idiot in the first place, much less granted him tenure or a chairmanship with virtually no academic qualifications. Sitting Bullshit should be shown the door, of course, but so should everybody that had a hand in hiring him and promoting him, starting with whoever is in charge of such things.

The problem is, if Churchill spoke in post-modernist and deconstructionalist terms, there is no way to make any sense of what he said...

#193 FabioC.

Why, are you making any sense of what he's saying now?

#171 #190

#192 Mike C.

Indeed, I am very intrigued by the hiring practices of higher education institutions.
My sense is that the people in charge try and hide their own intellectual inadequacies by hiring even more frivolous characters.

IMHO the quality of academic research that is being produced at universities, as well as the general level of intellectual discourse is dropping lower by the day.

Most of the really juicy stuff comes out of think tanks these days.

he has certainly smeared the name Churchill - he does not deserve it!

Much of his writing is the same --like the one professor who refuted the professional's report on the CBS documents --full of words but makes little sense and full of fallicies not to mention some out right fabricated facts.

In fact he has published an article on this question of "who" gets to decide who is Indian or not.

His apparent "gripe" is that it isn't "fair" that a certain degree of "blood" such as a quarter is the determining factor.

In the course of my work, I interact with a fair number of academics. But then again, these are academics who also work in private industry, and in the sciences at that, so the standards are several orders of magnitude greater. I have no real feel, other than news items, of how things are done on the "touchy-feely" side of the campus. Frankly, I'd just as soon keep it that way.

And speaking of academics, if anybody on the early morning thread knows of a budding conservative writer (college graduate or upper classman) or is, in fact, such a person themselves, here's a golden opportunity for you/them to get some additional training for free. The Publius Fellowship Program at The Claremont Institute. Sure would look good on your record. But you have to get after it, as applications are due in mid-March. In fact, Charles, if you have your e-ears on, this would make a wonderful public service post, and there just might be a younger LGFer or two that could snag one of these prized spots.

Iran girl gets 100 lashes for sex

Yep. Barbarians.

I think we are starting to give guys like Churchill and Hinchey more attention than they deserve. These guys are nothing. These guys are irrelevant. When you go around saying the things they say, nobody is taking them seriously, not enough people to make them influential. Maybe in certain corners of the world, but thats it. They can be influential in ithaca, but not in the real world. Lets not lift them up to a pedestal they don't deserve.

This moonbat, Ward Churchill, about two years ago, spoke at my high school. At the time, I wasn't too interested in politics and neither were all of my classmates, who were clueless as to what this guy was spewing. The only thing I remember about the whole speech was that he was making a connection between the 9/11 victims and Indians who were killed during colonial times and such.

Some things never change...

After he gets through talking about his daughter (again), Lileks gives a pretty amusing point of view of the MP3 player wars, or at least on one of the battles. I don't even own an MP3 player, and I thought it was funny.

$50 says Chief Walking Eagle has a six figure book contract with a major publishing house by the end of March. Another $50 if it's Hill-Bill's publisher. $20 more if it gets the '60 Minutes' treatment.

Any takers?

No guys read the article:

The girl was sentenced to 100 lashes because her accusations of rape and kidnap could have landed her partners a death penalty, the Tehran judge said.

She got 100 lashes for daring to accuse the guys who raped her. She was going to be whipped either way, but got more for threatening her attackers.

Last summer (Aug 2004) me and my mates saw a real Unidentified Flying Object: three tiny white luminous dots at the vertices of a triangle, moving through the sky keeping the formation. I don't know what it was, but I do not think it was an alien spaceship.

I listened and relistened; he said, "on that" not "I'm not"
also:"to cut to the chase on that" - then changes subject and starts talking about Senator Hemming(?)Churchill accuses this senator of being "greedy", "Greed is good" and characterizes him twice in unflattering language.
can you say, SMOKESCREEN?
"but here now we come to the cut scene" - finally Church is gonna address the issue,
NOT - now he assassinates the character of the reporter (another white guy - {shudder})
at 3:52 into the recording Church names a member of the band who vetted him - if you listen you can hear his voice waver - I submit that this is physical proof that he is lying.
at 3:56 Church says, and I may have mis-heard this, "(reach?) a quarter blood, never said I did" "so I'm not a full member"
later he addresses his membership in the Katooah (sp?) band of Cherokee as an associate member.
whatever!
I believe this guy is a fraud, but the recording doesn't substantiate any claims concerning Church's admission of Not being an Indian.
The asshat clearly states that he is 1/4 indian - that means one of his grandparents was a full blooded Injun. Am I right on this? That claim should be easy enough to substantiate; 1 of the 4 grands had to be a pure blooded Injun,
or he's caught in another lie!

Morning everyone,

I think old ward was visited by a UFO, what an idiot.

Oh yeah, I love sci fi, it would be great if if Gort landed in DC tomorrow ( in my version he would get shot by gang bangers and the saucer would be jacked and pimped out for an MTV special).

I watched about half of the thing, in the dim hope that because it was a network prima donna, he might have something new to say. He didn't.

I don't want to hear about UFOs on network till they have an actual alien to interview (Peter, I did not have interplanetary relations with that Earthling, never not once.)

No, but seriously, it's worse than that.

And, when you consider it, it's really not all that bad an idea. I'm thing of starting one myself. Haven't got a catchy name yet, but think of America's shabby treatment of the Celts, and all the horror and death than went before even America. I figure I can plagurize up a book or two, get an M.A. by doing a couple of those cartoon sketches inside that matchbook cover, and take over Sitting Bullshit's job as Chair of Ethnic Studies at CU. Ann Coulter can write a couple of snarky columns about me, I'll get the 90 grand plus some lecture fees, which will more than cover the cost for the odd dime bag so I can be properly incoherent when I speak for extra bucks on the victim's lecture circuit, and life will be good ! I anticipate segments on '60 Minutes', lunches with George Soros, and, considering that over 40 million Americans are of Irish descent (not even counting other Celtic ancestry), I can look forward with confidence to the happy day when Howard Dean willingly kisses my ass at high noon on Times Square.

About the UFO Thing: Have you ever noticed the aliens are invariably loony-left liberals? And they always seem to be up to speed on the latest LLL politics? In the 80's, people who claimed to have had alien contact would always say, 'The Grays are very concerned about nuclear proliferation. They're worried we're going to destroy ourselves.' And now it's, 'The Grays are very concerned about Global Warming. They're worried we're going to destroy ourselves.'" Aliens never seem to have any opinion on the decline in morals, or social security reform.

And what so, so funny is that the Left prides themselves on not being racist, but they are the ones that make a big deal of race.

This isn't by accident. The left classifies society into groups and sub-sects, individuals have no role in their utopia, and then play those sub-sects off against each other. A leftist parodigmatic view of the world it is a constant battle within a group, be it race, economical status, sex, religion, ideology, etc... and they try to indoctrunate this world view on all.

Race is a big issue brought up daily in the US and is used quite well by the dems and their allies. It keeps people off balance and they use the whole race game as quite an effective weapon against their opponents or to keep their own in line. The left are the last people who want to see harmonization or understanding between races [or any other group]. Watch how derisive they get when one of their chosen sub-sects they are supposedly defending doesn't toe the party line.

Merchants of Despair -- VDH

It is wise to cite and publicize our errors — and there have been many in this war. Humility and circumspection are military assets as well. And we should not deprecate the danger of our enemies, who are cruel and ingenious. Moreover, we should never confuse the sharp dissent of the well-meaning critic with disloyalty to the cause.

But nor should we fall into pessimism, when in less than four years we have destroyed the two worst regimes in the Middle East, scattered al Qaeda, avoided another promised 9/11 at home, and sent shock waves of democracy throughout the Arab world — so far at an aggregate cost of less than what was incurred on the first day of this unprovoked war. Car bombs are bad news, but in the shadows is the real story: The terrorists are losing, and radical reform, the likes of which millions have never seen, is right on the horizon. So this American gloominess is not new. Yet, if the past is any guide, our present lack of optimism in this struggle presages its ultimate success.

A final prediction: By the end of this year, formerly critical liberal pundits, backsliding conservative columnists, once-fiery politicians, Arab "moderates," ex-statesmen and generals emeriti, smug stand-up comedians, recently strident Euros — perhaps even Hillary herself — will quietly come to a consensus that what we are witnessing from Afghanistan and the West Bank to Iraq and beyond, with its growing tremors in Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, and the Gulf, is a moral awakening, a radical break with an ugly past that threatens a corrupt, entrenched, and autocratic elite and is just the sort of thing that they were sort of for, sort of all along — sort of...

I have two children, who I hope won't grow up as goofy as their dad.

Next week is tricky, and even the various AccuWeather.com meteorologists who post their discussions don't agree whether the storm of the Century hits with massive snow, or a big snow storm hits the interior mountains while all the I-95 cities get a massive flooding rain, or whether the storm tracks too far out to sea.

Anybody with an AM radio in Nassau or Suffolk wanna tell me if 1) Unqua Elementary, in the Massapequa School District and/or
2) St. Martin of Tours School in Amityville, NY had a snow day today?

I believe WCBS or 1010WINS have school closings.

An element of projection maybe? It would take extremely altruistic and concerned creatures to care about what's happening on a planet far far away. Maybe some are projecting the carachteristics that human in their opinion lack onto these Greys.

You can call yourself Cuchulain and tell tales of the Flaming Wheel.

Well, not bad, and personally appealing, but too restricting. Doing that, I would lose out out on the Welch, Manx, Breton and Scot descendants. OK, OK, so the Scots are, in fact, actually Irish, but you know what I mean. I'll think of something eventually. However, if any of you out there have even a trace of English blood, watch out ! Once we Celts get our act together (thousands of years, and still trying), you guys are in for a world of hurt. We will demand all our land back. Reparations, too ! Cash or money orders, please - no personal checks will be accepted.

Good points.

Aliens never seem to have any opinion on the decline in morals, or social security reform.

Heh.

I listened to Ward Churchill's rant.

I was struck by two things.

1. The audience applauds him a lot.

2. He never says that he is a Native American.

The second fact is important because it would be so easy to do. If he has a drop of Native American blood, all he would have to do is say "my great-grand father, Old Joe Running Elk . . ." or "my great-great-grand mother, Hippiemommateepee . . . " but he does not. Instead he rants on and on about memberships and offices and office-holders of obscure Native American organizations vetting his applications, etc.

Ward Churchill is full of shit and this audience is full of morons.

Thanks...I think.

I had the rare privilege of seeing ball lightning once. I had heard of it so I knew what it was. It was during a rainstorm and I was driving. It (a single glowing ball) popped out of a streambed where the stream ran under the road. It hovered, then moved down along the concrete rail of the culvert then it flew right at my truck and, without making contact shot over the hood and windshield and vanished. It does move like it is alive.

I wish I could see a globular lightning!

Not nearly as cool as greased lightning.

Ba Dum Bop!

OT:

For those interested in astronomy/cosmos (not weather), there have been some very cool discoveries recently.

What is your forecast there in Chicago, especially for Monday ? The old lady has to fly in there from DC and fly out again to head here, so I really would like to know if you have the info and the time.

Go check out V the K’s latest. Hysterical.

Maybe some are projecting the carachteristics that human in their opinion lack onto these Greys.

Or maybe if you're nutty enough to believe aliens are speaking to you, you're nutty enough to buy into the left-wing agenda.

P.S. NY Times Editorial Board Lectures the Air Force on Military Strategy

As for alien abduction, it is really similar to people in the middle ages who felt they were visited at night by elves and succubi and other wierd creatures. The science says that it is a mental predisposition in humans to confuse dreams with reality.
As for messages, yes they do all seem quite contemporaneous with the soppy drivel of the day.

Why would aliens visit us? Or care what we think, or whether we live or die? When was the last time you tried to communicate with that colony of ants in your yard?

#273

Itertwined issues, I think.

Not to mention that the use/abuse of drugs can easily cause hallucinations.

I just keep telling myself...

# 265 BabbaZee,

Well, I can't quote the dates (I'm far away from my dead tree resources), but actually the Celts were the first people to conquer Rome itself. Of course, back then, Rome was just another city nobody had heard of. The Celts demanded and got tribute and then went away. Probably to a really great party that left them all with bad hangovers and a surly attitude.

#274 Peacekeeper

That's a good question: Why would aliens visit us?

Unless the alien mind works in a very different way, the answers would be one, more or all of:

To study us

To exploit us

Out of altruism

For fun.

Of course the leftist prefer the altruistic explanation, while I would propend more for 1 and/or 2. Of course there is no proof of any real alien contact, so this is just speculation.

ANother fascinating point:
While Americans who report abductions almost unaminously describe "Greys" as the aliens, Europeans and Italians in particular describe their abductors as lizard men. Does LGF have access to the area 51 saucer? Zipping over to Rome for a little naughty fun?

Jennings dated Hanan Ashrawi? Eeewww! If that whole article is true then Jennings is more of a tool than I could ever have imagined.

Yes they were. The Celts and the Jews - the biggest thorns in Rome's side!

Under Iranian law, girls over the age of nine and boys over 16 face the death penalty for crimes such as rape and murder, while capital punishment can be imposed in certain cases of illegal sexual relationships.

From that article Sarah D. linked to.

So the age of criminal responsibility in Iran is 9 for girls and 16 for boys. So if a 15 year old boy raped a 10 year old girl it's her fault as the 'adult' in the situation, she should have been in control?

Death to the Iranian regime.
