Bill Ayers brags in this video (see below) in the student paper that he sits on several dissertation committees at Georgia Southern. He’s visited dozens of times.

Dog bites man.
Cornel West speaks on race at Emory. Ho hum. “George W. Bush is a racist.” Yawn. “We’ve come a long ways (witness my speaking fees), but we’ve got a long ways to go (otherwise no one would have reason to book me as a speaker).” (Just doing a little deconstruction for the folks [...]

NPR analyst compares Obama to Nixon, issues full apology . . . Avoids gulag.
Perhaps, Bukharin…er, the NPR analyst was told that if he did not confess his refusal would be taken as “proof” that he was a “fascist hireling.”

SOCIALISM! As I was teaching “The Speech” last night it struck me that in 1964 Ronald Reagan was not afraid of using the S word.

What does Arne Duncan mean? Would it be a revolution away from the revolution, instituted by the likes of Bill Ayers? That would be a good thing.

Here is one professor weighing in in a forum called “Brainstorm” on the number one issue facing America today: race, specifically, racism in the form of one isolated Justice of the Peace refusing to marry an interracial couple….and Rush Limbaugh.

(They’re the folks who brought you the undercover videos of ACORN employees offering business tips to actors posing as pimp and prostitute.)
