Any word on the progress being made by Benjii and the DBAB raising funds for the Perfessers debt to CU?

Has Ward-O actually filed a motion to appeal yet? All these lefties keep saying they support his decision to appeal; has he really declared such as his decision?

  — Goblin-Jack - 09 July '09 - 15:03

Through his attorney, yes.

  — [jwpaine] () (URL) - 09 July '09 - 15:11

He's eloquent, like Obama.

  — jgm () (URL) - 09 July '09 - 15:52

And without a teleprompter yet!

Brown has another comment (#14) at:

http://chronicle.com/review/brainstorm/bousquet/colorado-judge-mugs-churchill#c020421

In part:

“The interesting thing here is that Churchill selected a lawyer just like himself, who substitutes his performed outrage for evidence and reasoned analysis. Churchill has been lucky and gotten away with that act for decades, but it finally caught up to him this time. He ran into a judge was wasn’t fooled by his act and could do something about it.”

I think that’s called The Chickens Coming Home to Roost.

Whitmer has taken a powder and vanished as the whole illusion implodes.

"The Order is exhaustively thorough, as would be expected from a judge who anticipates the judgment will be appealed. The rationale for each decision is clear, logical and supported with case law and evidence."



WTF? That yahoo wanted an opinion that COULD BE REVERSED? What sense does that make?



Either moronic or insane, this is. Or just DUMB.

There is nothing in the court's decision that requires Wardo to "leave a community where he has lived and worked for years." Wardo can live in Boulder and work as much as he wants. Chief Walking Eagle just can't "work" at CU. He can continue to write his phony-baloney "research" and give lectures to any organization that wants to piss away its money. He can do all of that while remaining in the Boulder area. If the lecture gigs dry up, he can try 7-11.



BTW, where's that little pissant, Benjie. I know I told him to "bugger off," but I still figured he would weigh in with his third-rate--maybe that's third-grade--intellect. I especially wanted to know if he is privy to what his butt-buddy is going to do now that he "owns" CU. Hahaha!

Mr. Paine, surely you're not exhorting Professor Churchill to suicide?! Or if you are, you're doing it out of love, as when John McCain called his wife Cindy a cunt as a term of endearment(*).

  — Noj - 09 July '09 - 20:20

(*) See Hoffman, Betsy.

  — Noj - 09 July '09 - 20:20

No thanks. I've seen enough of that bedraggled strumpet to last the rest of my unnatural life.

  — jgm () (URL) - 09 July '09 - 20:37

Me, Noj? No. I'm just observing that Nietzsche ironically found the will to survive in nocturnal thoughts of suicide.

Retired Bill: You may have noticed that The Perfesser's jeer-leaders only seem to show up when they are feeling ascendant, like the days before Judge Naves' decision. Unfortunately, that was a reality that did not conform to their irrational world-view, and so they have cloistered themselves in order to gestate the numerous rationalizations and self-delusions necessary to press the sweet wine of superiority from such sour grapes.

  — [jwpaine] () (URL) - 09 July '09 - 20:44

"...to press the sweet wine of superiority from such sour grapes."



That's so good.

  — Laurie - 09 July '09 - 21:31

Thanks! I'm here all week! Next up: Fun With Synecdoche!

  — [jwpaine] () (URL) - 09 July '09 - 21:38

JWP: I really didn't expect Benjie to comment, just thought I'd take a cheap shot at an easy target. The whole of the DBAB are such easy targets I could empty a magazine of cheap shots.

  — Retired Bill - 09 July '09 - 21:58

"Fun With Synecdoche!"

Two eyes will be watching for this one!

  — Laurie - 09 July '09 - 22:50

Your mind has a quick tongue, Laurie.

  — [jwpaine] () (URL) - 09 July '09 - 23:51

Despite the possible problems with Naves' ruling, ain't we havin' fun? I'm still giggling girlishly to myself--and, much less charmingly, to others-- at the complete and total (if perhaps, and only perhaps, temporary) victory over the forces of evil fuckheadedness. Wart was "surprised" by Naves' ruling; Benjie, who last week was all over this blog with his long-established blend of fake-homespun arrogance and self-delusion, is gone; and Russell "Last of the Mohicans" Means is twisting his thinning braids in frustration. Savor it. As somebody's parrot said, "Yessss."

  — jgm () (URL) - 10 July '09 - 00:40

Day Four and I'm still taking my victory lap. Although it could still all come crashing down at the next stage. You never know.

  — Noj - 10 July '09 - 09:13

"Your mind has a quick tongue" Ha! But I'd like it better as "Your tongue has a quick mind". Probably yours is more accurate.

  — Laurie - 10 July '09 - 09:57

I believe we both hit the mark, more or less, Laurie. But I like yours better, too. Frankly, I'm all thumbs on this synecdoche thing.

I have relatives in Synecdoche, NY.

  — jgm () (URL) - 10 July '09 - 13:28

What a coinkidink. I've had relations there too.

Is the University going to a collection agency to get back that dollar that the jury awarded?

  — Wm T Sherman () - 10 July '09 - 19:36

'I'm still giggling girlishly"



tape it and upload it as a .mov?

  — ha ha - 10 July '09 - 20:47

Isn't the stubbornly persistent mental image of jgm "giggling girlishly" frightening enough?

  — [jwpaine] () (URL) - 10 July '09 - 21:10

Quit fantasizing about me, youse guys.

  — jgm () (URL) - 11 July '09 - 17:12

Though if you must, here's a visual aid.
