The Ward Churchill News Explosion

Just wanted to observe that the New Criterion is still writing about Ward Churchill. For nearly three months they've draped heavy quotation marks around ethnic studies ("ethnic" "studies"), promoted a definition of academic freedom that shushes all the naughty words Hilton Kramer doesn't want you to hear, and otherwise pilloried Churchill, the most significant philosopher-king to ever have led the Democratic Party and all college students.

Sounds like the New Criterion is using Zagat as a style guide.

Fascinating observation. Time for the Sanchez/Henley meme challenge! When there were no new posts up here that was one thing, but nobody needs this dilly-dallying. The Atlantic shall feel my wrath.
