Black Mizzou football players go on strike

I'm surprised the "I make $7,249 an hour" emails didn't pop up.

 

My God, I had no idea those e-mails would be available under a FOI. When I think about all the sickeningly obsequious missives I sent when I was a hack....

"Hey, I just wanted to get your side of the story about you wanting to ban Mom, Apple Pie and Baseball. Because, you know, I really am on YOUR side...."

 

""I’ve been defending the protesters on Facebook for days, and you just blew a huge hole in the argument I was making in support of their legitimate grievances," wrote a reporter for Bloomberg News. "I don’t get it. I just don't get it."

Good to see the reporter is being objective.

According to the complaint, Click "assaulted M.S. by grabbing at his camera with her hand and attempting to knock it from his grasp... This caused M.S. to fear he was in danger of immediate physical injury."

More irritation for Click ... a third degree assault charge.

The prosecutor is attention-whoring.

 

Suspended "pending further investigation."

It's too bad she fucked up the way she did. It's obvious to anyone who knows academia that, even without this incident, she wasn't going to get tenure; she'd have had to own up to the fact that she didn't measure up to those she aspired to become. Now, however, she's going to be given a psychological out: "I would have gotten tenure had I not chosen to be so heroic."

 

Meanwhile, the ex-president threw half the campus under the bus as he angles for more settlement money.
