Well, look on the bright side…

…Had Juan Cole been hired, the already palsied level of intellectual rigor in the Yale History Department would have only gotten worse.

So the way I see it, the glass is still half full, baby!  GO BULLDOGS!

    Jeff is from Georgia?

    Who knew?

  2. wishbone says:

    You gotta give it to Adolf, Benito, and Francisco–they had the jihadis beat on the uniform thing by a mile (except for the stupid tassles on Franco’s hats).

    Other than that, put the rat bastards in a sack and shake ‘em around and there’s not a whole lot of difference.

  3. Alan Kellogg says:

    If the glass be still half full, that fact is due in many parts to the fact the glass itself has gotten smaller.

  4. gail says:

    Thanks for the link Jeff. The Yale guy was more fluent than my remedial freshmen,but the general level of sophistication was pretty much the same.

  5. N. O'Brain says:

    The telephone pole goes to Yale?

    tw: really

  6. Major John says:

    Ha!  I suspect the rigorous standards I had to meet at the University of Illinois – thank you Geoffrey Parker! – would have clocked that idot across the head and left him delivering pizzas for Garcia’s instead of wandering off with an M.A. in his hands…

  7. CraigC says:

    Gail, you should be bitching at Jeff instead of thanking him.

  8. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I’ll bite.  Why is that, Craig?

  9. aw, craig, it’s not like actus is going to hang around there. though he might have some interesting commentary on denki anma.

    tw: analysis. exactly.

  10. highcotton says:

    I’m reasonably certain Mr. Goldstein was cheering on the Mississippi State Bulldogs.  I mean, he didn’t say “Dawgs”, did he?  Clearly, it was “dogs”.

    TW: moved—from Athens to Starkville.

    TW revisited: I am positively moved by that other Juan’s sudden intellectual awakening.  Can you believe he called out Sharpton?

  11. I think it was the Centennial High School Bulldogs.  Pueblo is much closer.

  12. Rusty. says:

    I sort of thought it(Islamic fundamentalism) was more like the Spanish Inqisition with cooler robes.

  13. alppuccino says:

    I’m pretty sure Jeff meant to write “Go Bulldykes” and just miss-keyed.

    And I’ll second:  Go Bulldykes!!
