Peltier to remain caged

Right on! (That’s an in-joke.) Let’s see if Wart has any more to say about this than he did about Mumia’s denial of parole (nothing–at least published). Go to Snapple’s site for more. (Yes, she’s still banned [...]

CU answers Wart’s appeal–er–”notice to amend”

Devastating, in my non-lawyerly opinion. JWP, who has it, has his fave quote; here’s mine:
[P]rofessor Churchill next reargues his belief that the Court’s Order is inconsistent with the jury’s finding that Professor Churchill was harmed by the University’s actions. What he cannot escape, however, is the fact that the jury’s finding of harm did not [...]

Benjie to the rescue!

The Post:
Huge enrollment jumps at Colorado’s community colleges are prompting officials to scramble for more classroom space and instructors for subjects as varied as air-traffic control and anthropology.
And Ethnic Studies?
At some community colleges, enrollment is up more than 25 percent. The Community College of Denver appears to lead the trend, with a 37.5 percent increase [...]

DNC protesters file suit

What a bore. Der Posten:
Eight people who were arrested on the second day of the Democratic National Convention during a mass protest filed a lawsuit against the City and County of Denver last night alleging wrongful arrest.
Took long enough.
The plaintiffs – who filed their case in Denver District Court – are represented by lawyers for [...]

Factoid

In the decade-plus that we’ve owned this romantic shithole, and in the scores of applications we’ve taken from potential renters, we’ve never had a single black person apply. This is a Hispanic neighborhood, of course, but there are certainly blacks living around here too. Weird. I just chalk it up to black people having innately [...]

Wart speaks!

With a DJ at some D.C. FM station that’s running a pledge drive (”At the $150 level, you get the six-CD set of the speeches of the Black Panthers!”).
Wart says his appeal will go to the state Court of Appeals “within the year,” then, if unsuccessful there, to the Colorado Supreme Court, and then to [...]

It wasn’t Bill

Yes, a Clinton rescued those two American journalists, but it wasn’t Bill–it was Roger. He paved the [...]

Like his idol

Careful writer, all-’round genius and RCP (”Our Chairman is Bob Avakian!”) stooge Reggie Dylan on the Chutch decision:
There is a great deal at stake for academia and for society overall right now in upholding and defending this verdict, and deepening its lessons. An ugly, high-stakes public witch-hunt by dangerous, reactionary, and powerful forces, aimed at [...]

Never know what interesting tidbit you’ll find . . .

In comments at WattsUpWithThat. This one’s in a long, long thread on coral, ocean temps and CO2 from some months ago. The D-blog understands the entire thread, but his somewhat algae-like readers–not so much. But I bet they won’t forget this (sorry, comments don’t seem to have individual links; it was made by E.M. Smith [...]

Anti-O

EP has a bunch of nice pics and commentulary on today’s anti-ObamaCare rally at the [...]
