How To Win Tenure and Influence People (Hoke)

Let's recap on Ward Churchill.

He wrote that the people (aka "little Eichmanns") in the Towers had it coming.

He's as much an Indian as

this guy.

His scholarship is shoddy and he plagiarizes.

And to top it all off, he's a di**

Retired university administrator and journalism professor Joanne Easley Arnold said she received a call from Churchill in 1989 during a controversy over the naming of a dormitory on campus. She was trying to get the dorm named for a former director of student housing. Churchill, not yet a professor, was pushing to have it named for the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.

"He suggested I should back off my proposal and if I didn't, I would get hurt," Arnold said after she was contacted by The Denver Post. "I was shocked, and that's why my dean heard about it."

Unnamed sources actually recalled Churchill's words to Ms. Easley Arnold as "You in heap-um big trouble."

Wait, his lawyer said "Maybe she needed to be spit on."??

I didn't think the Henry Winkler character from "Arrested Development" was a real lawyer.

That's the ole' Hoke magic.

Hoke knows folks who know folks.

Posted by: Hoke Malokey on February 17, 2005 02:43 PM

Yeah, Hoke, but you also knew folks who knew folks who said Kerry would win Virginia. So your record's a bit scattershot.

Posted by: Jeff B. on February 17, 2005 02:52 PM

And no, we're not gonna let you forget that. Not until you offer SOME kinda rationale for thinking it, at least. As I recall, your proffered excuse was something like "Screw you, Hoke don't do post-facto justifications."

Posted by: Jeff B. on February 17, 2005 02:54 PM

I was drinking, and I'm scatterbrained, and the next thing I know, I have classified documents in my socks AND I call Virginia for Kerry.

72 - we get the point. Problem is, most of us have jobs - no time to protest (too busy being productive). :) All in good fun man...

I swear this talentless old loser struts around colleges and pretends to be revolutionary for the same reason talentless young losers strut around colleges pretending to be revolutionaries--young, impressionable tail.

I bet there's a string of young hippy coeds who were wooed by his pachouli stink and conditioner-free hair (Pert Plus is the tool of the capitalist aggressors, don't you know) into a night of sweaty, grunting prayers to the Great Spirit and orgasmic Apache war cries.

Go ahead, somebody get some pics of his apartment. Wampum to donuts it looks like the Ladies Man moved into a reservation gift shop.

Whoever wrote that last comment, right on. I know this type well. Big Chief Egg on the Face probably goes on a peyote-fueled Dream Quest for Little Beaver every chance he gets. Just a fringe benefit of wearing beaded fringe on the radical fringe.

Well technically I've been boycotting UC my whole life, 72 raisins.
I have also been boycotting Mercedes Benz, but they have yet to drop to their knees in defeat.

I've got a friend at work who's 3/4 Indian and all conservative. I asked for his opinion on Churchill. He told me that he'd asked his cousin who's an AIM guy about him. His cousin said they all thought that Churchill was a government plant when he first showed up. Apparently, he came across as "too" radical, to the point of seeming like he was trying to fit in. Now they just think he's a nut.

Michael Dennis:

Ah, thank you. It's always the personal anecdotes which provide the most satisfying color & detail.

Posted by: Jeff B. on February 17, 2005 05:51 PM

Sir,

Ward "Cleaver" Churchill's tribal name isn't "di**". It's Kenis. Really.

Is that a picture of Jeff Hardy?

If so, you might be mistaken about how much Indian blood he has. He's a pro wrestler from either one of the Virginias or one of the Carolinas and you never know who might have a Cherokee great-great grandmother.

I think it's one of the guy's from "The Kids in the Hall". It was a skit comedy show on Canadian TV.

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
