I recycle it now to educate the authors of the above posts.<BR/><BR/>If brains were gasoline, those of the authors couldn't prime the carburetor of a piss-ant's motor scooter.<BR/><BR/>Whereas, Kristin Butler's columns are a wonderful reason to read the Chronicle. And when do we get a link to a video of KC's talk last night, so we can see for ourselves how 'horrible' it was?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-87795196657171033602007-09-12T08:49:00.000-04:002007-09-12T08:49:00.000-04:0011:19 PM and 11:31 PM are probably the same person...11:19 PM and 11:31 PM are probably the same person known on the Chronicle comment boards as "Brodhead's Secretary". S/he has been posting screeds all summer long.<BR/><BR/>I was at KC's speech and I was at February's Duke faculty panel "Shut Up and Teach?" or SHAT. (Ahem. Think about your acronyms people.) KC was lucid and completely in command of the facts. He puts the six faculty ideologues on the SHAT panel to shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-39840807799002992962007-09-12T07:47:00.000-04:002007-09-12T07:47:00.000-04:0011:19 & 11:31 I'd bet that was one person who said...11:19 & 11:31 I'd bet that was one person who said basically the same thing at DiW and the Chronicle.

They added an exclamation point to the charge of cronyism and underscored Durham's inability to self-correct.<BR/><BR/>Durham would have been better served by their silence, but the intensity of their support for Nifong confirmed that justice is an insiders game in Durham.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-32551322624836714202007-09-12T02:52:00.000-04:002007-09-12T02:52:00.000-04:00Even if those anonymous reviews of KC Jonhson's ta...Even if those anonymous reviews of KC Jonhson's talk were true (which I tend to doubt), all it would mean is that he's not a good public speaker.

I am sorry the good people of Durham will probably suffer more than the potbangers but ultimately your city may be improved and I suspect you know that.
