image “I hear you, brother.  Before I started wearing the hat? I would get propositioned in Arizona public toilets like, two, three times a week.  Which, what a drag that was…”

    Ward Churchill: “Look, Billy, I’d have a lot more respect for your faux Indian schtick if you got busy and actually plagiarized something. Y’know, art, essays…I mean, look, why do I have to fake all the scholarly shit and all you do is fake the kung fu shit?”

    He does kinda look like a Norwegian sailor what with that big old Sven-jaw and everything. Bet he hates that.

    What kind of souped up neurotransmitting synaptic function must one have to hear “Ward Churchill” and think “Billy Jack”?

    I’m in awe.

    He could hide the Norwegian sailor jaw by growing a big, shaggy beard.

    Oh. Never mind.

    Well, Old faux first nation boy WC seems to have taken down the white <s>man</s> woman hegemon at CU:

    CU president resigns

  11. Yep, Betsy seems to have gotten the hint after half the newspapers in town have called for her to resign.

    She could have brazened it out. The Boulder Daily Worker and Coupon-Cutter never weighed in.
