The pirate with the tubercular parrot (”Ahoy, maaaaaccccckkkkkk! (spit)”) has read Ward’s contribution to a book, I forget the name (intentionally), in which Ward tells the same old lies but, more interestingly, attacks Pirate Ballerina specifically.

Denver’s outspoken archbishop goes after the True Believers (in The One):
Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput told a Canadian audience this week that some Catholics are treating President Barack Obama with a “spirit of adulation bordering on servility.”

Same thing as “Sister Cities” here and elsewhere. The Mail:
One is a picturesque cathedral city in the heart of England, famed for its china and the tangy sauce that shares its name.

I sent this to CU president Bruce Benson, Chancellor Phil DiStefano, and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Julie Wong:
I am a Denver blogger who has followed the Ward Churchill controversy from its beginning in early 2005. I’ve been present at every significant event put on by Churchill’s supporters at CU, except for the rogue, non-credit [...]
