For most of that time, he was the media darling, reveling in the attention and the "million dollars in free advertising". His suffering is only recent and self inflicted. How can he equate his suffering to those boys and their families? I do not believe there have been pot banging demonstrations outside his house with "Castrate" signs. I do not believe he received verbal death threats in the courtroom at his bar hearing or today. I do not believe he had to walk a gauntlet of taunts and smears as he entered the courtroom. I do not believe he will spend anywhere near the 3 million dollars that the INNOCENT young mens families had to spend. He is a whining, pathetic weasel. I do not know the motive for his "apology" but I will bet my last dollar it was self serving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-67825826485544428002007-07-25T21:05:00.000-04:002007-07-25T21:05:00.000-04:00UBGOn the U-Tube clip, I think Churchill was argui...UBG<BR/><BR/>On the U-Tube clip, <BR/>I think Churchill was arguing -<BR/>(with respect to the 9th amendment) -<BR/>that he has a right to misrepresent himself, and a court<BR/>appointed attorney will be granted<BR/>if he chooses to let someone else<BR/>misrepresent him. <BR/><BR/>I think he does just fine by himself. <BR/><BR/>Granted under his version of the amendment is the right to lie,<BR/>to fabricate and to fornicate<BR/>(I added the last one, because it<BR/>sounded in-character for a narcissist<BR/>on his level.)machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248016116043347912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-85647784356186119572007-07-25T16:12:00.000-04:002007-07-25T16:12:00.000-04:00Is Duke a state school?Is Duke a state school?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-59479072883667584532007-07-25T16:03:00.000-04:002007-07-25T16:03:00.000-04:00Ward Churchill was fired not solely due to his sph...Ward Churchill was fired not solely due to his sphinctoral behavior. The University of Colorado has a lot of that among other faculty members, too. He lied to CU in the following ways: 1) false degree credentials 2) falsely claimed Native American ancestry 3) wrote and published fictional articles under pseudonyms and then referenced those articles and authors in support of the works he published.<BR/><BR/>As to OkState (btw, in the same conference as Colorado), they're projected one of the most improved teams in the Big 12 this year. The Texarkana paper states the player's DNA was a match. The player is not suspended pending the trial.

They have the right to deal with similar situations in differing ways.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying I approve of what OK State is doing. The bottom line: Duke is a bottom of the barrel football school. Football is an after thought at Duke. Football is a religion in Oklahoma, and OK State suffers from a terrible inferiority complex in relation to its sister state school, Oklahoma. OK State would probably recruit a young Freddy Krueger, if he was a hot football prospect.<BR/><BR/>I also doubt that Oklahoma is a hotbed of PC, as is North Carolina. Oklahoma is cowboy country.

If anything, they are even more sympathetic to anti-American retoric.<BR/><BR/>2. On 9/11/2001 the NYT had a very sympathetic article (published just before the attack)about some home grown US terrorists from the 60s. To my knowledge they never have apologized or even officially acknowledged the juxtoposition. (go ahead--look the article up in the NYT archives--one guy was named Ayres).<BR/><BR/>3. This is also the paper that had a long (very complementary) article about the retiring Gary, IN mayor. He did a fine job, decided to retire after 10 years, etc. Gary, of course, is heavily African American. Did the Times mention this reelected mayor was a White guy, married to a local Black woman? No chance. Not relevent to the Times. <BR/><BR/>4. This is also the paper that once published an article that Jackie Robinson didn't do nearly as much as he could have for the civil rights movement.<BR/><BR/>ZEKEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-7237116146561435842007-07-25T00:12:00.000-04:002007-07-25T00:12:00.000-04:00InmanThe answer is parasitism, so you're correct.P...Inman<BR/><BR/>The answer is parasitism, so you're correct.<BR/><BR/>PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-18216033268933385082007-07-25T00:11:00.001-04:002007-07-25T00:11:00.001-04:00Deborah is a cuntDeborah is a cuntAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-18009079284365691872007-07-25T00:11:00.000-04:002007-07-25T00:11:00.000-04:00Just looked up at 11:10 --Suit yourself.
